The Final Project (TFG) represents the final module in the degree programme; therefore, students areadvised to enroll in this module only when they are certain they will complete their studies during the year ofenrolment.
To enroll TFG it is required to have achieved at least two thirds of the total ECTS of the whole programme.
The Final Degree Project (TFG) is a project aimed at developing either a basic-level research study or an innovation within the professional field related to the degree. In either case, the TFG must include all the sections typical of an academic paper and should serve to demonstrate the competencies and knowledge associated with the Degree in Pedagogy.
The TFG is carried out through a mostly autonomous activity, based on a topic agreed upon with the faculty member responsible for supervising its development.
The final TFG document must be unique and individualized for each student; therefore, no work will be accepted if it contains any section identical to that of another submitted project. However, this does not prevent students from sharing knowledge or conducting part of the research collaboratively
The TFG offers a wide range of topics linked to the different areas of knowledge within the degree program. Students may choose a professional-oriented option, which includes TFGs focused on intervention, creation and innovation, entrepreneurship, and service-learning (ApS). Alternatively, they may opt for a research-oriented path, which includes TFGs based on empirical research or systematic literature reviews.

1. Topic selection: Students may choose the topic of their Final Degree Project (TFG) from the available options, in strict order of academic record, during the period established at the beginning of the academic year. To do so, they must follow the calendar and the instructions specified on the Faculty website: https://www.uab.cat/web/estudiar/graus/graus/treball-de-final-de-grau-1345727222087.html
2. Plenary session: The TFG process will begin with a plenary session where the general aspects of the project’s development will be explained.
3. Virtual workspace: The designated virtual classroom is the TFE Platform (https://tfe.uab.cat), which serves as the space for information exchange between the coordination team, the tutor, and the students. It is also the platform where all required evidence must be submitted throughout the course. Therefore, it is essential that students regularly check the virtual classroom and the associated email address to ensure they receive all necessary information for proper follow-up.
4. Supervised activity: Seminars. The supervised activity includes two types of seminars, which may be group or individual: mandatory seminars and extension seminars. Four mandatory seminars are scheduled throughout the different phases of the process. The 1st mandatory seminar is recommended to be group-based and should address the topic and type of project, the process, and the follow-up agreed upon by the tutor and the student. This seminar will be convened by the tutor once the topic assignments have been officially published. During this seminar, it is recommended to jointly schedule the remaining mandatory seminars – which should not exceed 8 hours in total – and the extension seminars – which should not exceed 4 hours.
From there, the 2nd mandatory seminar should address the initial sections of the outline, the 3rd seminar should allow for discussion of project progress, and the 4th and final mandatory seminar should cover all sections of the project before the final submission. Mandatory seminars are in-person. Only students participating in mobility programs may complete all seminars online. Students may also request up to 4 additional hours of extension seminars, to be agreed upon with the tutor. Given the autonomous nature of the project, no more than 4 hours of extension seminars may be held without a justified reason related to diversity support.
5. Follow-ups (see dates in the Evaluation section): Two follow-ups are scheduled during the course: an initial one and an intermediate one. The initial follow-up should allow for understanding the general approach of the project, assuming it may evolve and change. In the intermediate follow-up, the student must demonstrate significant progress in the sections of the outline agreed upon with the tutor.
6. Course “Tools and resources for academic work”: Students are required to complete training on tools and resources for academic work, to improve bibliography management and the development of the theoretical framework of their TFG. The Humanities Library offers a range of virtual courses: https://www.uab.cat/web/que-oferim/cursos-de-formacio-1345708785493.html
At a minimum, students must complete the course “Tools and resources for your academic work,” offered by the Humanities Library. The course certificate must be submitted along with the final TFG.
7. Final report submission (see dates in the Evaluation section): Students may agree with their tutor whether to submit the project as a report or in the format of a scientific article. The specifications regarding the required content and structure are detailed in the document “Basic Guidelines TFG 2025–26,” available on the TFE platform and the Faculty website. Regardless of the format, the project must be written in Catalan.
a. If the tutor deems it feasible, students may be encouraged to publish the article in a journal. In that case, the tutor should assist the student in adapting the article to the journal’s standards of rigor and presentation. The intellectual property of the TFG belongs to the author. If the project is to be published, consent from both the author and the tutor is required, with the tutor listed as a secondary co-author.
b. In cases where the TFG is contextualized within the same center or institution where the student is completing their internship, they may benefit from contextual analysis and other data. However, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES may both reports contain the same content (neither partially nor fully). That is, the internship report and the TFG must not be identical in any of their sections. This will be considered self-plagiarism and will result in a failing grade for the TFG.
8- Oral defense before a panel: Once submitted, students must prepare the oral defense of their TFG before a panel composed of two individuals other than the tutor. The calendar, location, and other practical details regarding the panels will be published on the TFE platform in advance.
Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

This course does not have a single asssessment system.
The evaluation of the TFG of the Pedagogy degree arises from two differentiated activities:
The assessment of the TFG will be based on 3 pieces of evidence:
The delivery of three evidences is mandatory and CAN NOT BE RE-SUBMITTED. They must be delivered throughthe virtual space enabled by the coordination within the deadlines established between the tutor and the students. Deliveries cannot be made after the established date.
If a student does not provide any evidence, that of the approach or the development or the quality of the work is very poor, it will have an impact on the grade of the final delivery, on the criterion on monitoring the TFG that appears in the evaluation rubric of the final submission.
Feedback from the tutor figure must also be sent through the space provided for this, within a maximum of 15 days after the date of submission of the evidence. For the first two follow-ups, a qualitative evaluation rubric is available with the revision criteria. For the final evaluation, a rubric is available for each type of TFG, which will result in a numerical grade from 0 to 10. The tutor will have to include feedback comments in the three documents. Both the characteristics of the documents and their evaluation rubrics will be published in the virtual space.
There are three cases that imply automatically suspending the TFG:
In order to present the TFG in the September call, it is necessary that the interested person requests the change of call at Gestió Acadèmica, during the period established for this purpose. Otherwise, the grade that will appear in the June call will be a NOT ASSESSED and the student will not have the change to sit in September.
EVALUATION BEFORE PANEL
The TFG is evaluated by a panel of three teaching figures of the Degree in Pedagogy with the following procedure:
The general hours of the courts will be from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Once the student body that appears for each of the calls is specified (February, June, September), the coordination will make public in the communication spaces (Faculty website and virtual space) the list of courts with the assignment of the students in each of them.
In relation to the defense act:
Supervisors will offer students individual guidance on the most suitable bibliography for their chosen topics. General references:
