The Master Thesis will be started and developed after cocnluding succesfully the rest of the Master's Module, usually at the end of May.
The Master Thesis has to be supervised by at least one faculty member of the Master. At the end of May, when classes are over, possible supervisors will suggest possible dissertations. Students will have to say which is their first, second and third preferred projects. The allocation of projects to students will take into account their academic records and preferences.
Only those students previously allocated to a research proposal elaborated jointly with a firm (Industrial Master Thesis) will be exempted from this allocation process, as in this case the election of the candidate is done jointly with the firm. In these cases there will be two supervisors, one member of the MMOBE staff and one member of staff from the firm.
The Master Thesis is an original piece of research in which the student demonstrate the capabilities developed during the previous courses of the master, and the ability to meet deadlines. The students start working on it in June and it must be concluded at the end of August (we will inform about the exact dates).
