It is intended that the student carries out an original work, under the supervision of a professor, in a complete way, including the elaboration of the work, presentation of results, discussion of the same, elaboration of a report and public defense.
In accordance with the commitment to the 2030 Agenda, the TFG will explicitly show its direct contribution to the SDGs and their targets.

3. Syllabus
The program of the work to be carried out as DFP (TFG), as well as the most appropriate typology for its development, is established by mutual agreement between the student and his/her director.
The TFG proposal is evaluated by the academic committee of the degree, which may approve, reject or request, complementary information.
The modifications requested with respect to an approved proposal must once again have the favorable report of the academic committee of the degree program . The DFP proposal, once approved, will remain in effect as long as the student, with the approval of the director, does not expressly request its modification or cancellation.
4. Academic activities
The student must agree with his/her TFG director on the training activities, which may consist of academic work, tutoring sessions, evaluation of the follow-up of the work done, depending on the proposed topic and its scope.
Regular meetings will be held to follow up on the work and solve any doubts.
5. Assessment system
The assessment of the DFP will be based on the following aspects:
- The quality and depth of the work itself, in accordance with the scope and objectives set forth in the proposal and the deposit made by the student, and considering the workload foreseen in the degree's verification report, - the evaluation made by the director, co-directors and, if applicable, the lecturer, in the report, and
-the public presentantion of the work.
After the defense of the DFP, the members of the examining board must issue an individual evaluation report, from which the final grade will be assigned.
In the case of a failing evaluation of the DFP, the examining board must issue a report detailing the deficiencies, both methodological and content, that justify such a grade, indicating also the modifications that need to be introduced in the work, and a new defense of the work will be carried out.
