There are no prerequisites.
The philosophy of the Master Dissertation (MD) is to confront the student with a real research problem related to general health psychology, either by joining a research team to contribute to an already started line, or by identifying, with the help from the tutor/s, a health need, problem or lack of interest. To achieve this purpose, the TFM places the student in a position to deploy and combine all the skills developed so far in order to 1) solve the problem or question addressed and thereby 2) demonstrate that they possess the capacity for which the MUPGS will accredit you: that of using your knowledge and skills to solve real problems.
During the TFM I subject, the student will, in agreement with the person(s) who tutor their work, carry out the feasibility report of their MD, including the search for information that allows the definition of research problem, a preliminary version of the MD introduction and the choice of methodology. This report becomes the master's dissertation planning, which will be executed later in the subject DM-II.
The student can choose one of the following options depending on his/her interests and the interests or proposals allowed by the tutor supervising their work:
A. Systematic Review following PRISMA Guidelines
B. Empirical Research
C. Development of a new tool for Health Psychology practice: therapy programmes, health guidelines, e-health project, assessment procedures....

The Master's thesis I has several characteristics that distinguish it from other subjects:
1) It is eminently autonomous, that is to say, the student must undertake most of the hours involved in his master's thesis project.
2) The master's thesis teaching is non-directed and is based on tutorial action. The student does not attend class but is assisted by his/her tutor(s) and has contact with the rest of the students through the virtual classroom.
3) To do this, the student is expected to deploy, develop and integrate a large number of previously developed skills (during the degree, the rest of the master subjects and contact with tutors). The master's thesis must be the proof that the student can integrate what he has learned and put it to the service of addressing a complex reality, solve problems, and show that he can continue with his self-taught training.
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.

Not assessable: If the student does not submit EV1 in the corresponding space on the virtual classroom by the deadline of20/06/2025, it will be considered "not assessable".
Use of AI
By default, in the TFM-I course, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies is permitted solely as a support tool for tasks such as information retrieval, language correction, style improvement, or text translation. In all cases, the use of AI must be previously agreed upon with the supervisor(s). In addition, the student must clearly identify which parts of the work were generated with the help of such technology, specify the tools used, and include a critical reflection on how these tools influenced the work process and the final outcome. Lack of transparency in the use of AI in the only assessable activity —the feasibility report— will be considered a breach of academic integrity and may result in a partial or full penalty on the activity’s grade, or even more serious sanctions depending on the severity of the case.
