In the following section, we use the acronym TFG for the Bachelor’s Final Thesis and TFM for the Master’s Final Thesis.

The procedure consists of two parts: the proposal (‘Propuesta’) and the thesis dissertation (‘Defensa’).

It is mandatory to defend the thesis in UPV. There are calls in April, July, September, or December, and you can always do it via videoconference. If you need to present it before, there is always the option of defending it in your home university and not using the mark obtained in the UPV, as you can choose whether to take it as your final grade.

Final projects can be supervised and written in English.

Please refer to this link for additional information about the procedure, regulations, templates, etc. Pay attention to the deadlines specified on this site, as the project registration and the dissertation request will have to be done within the indicated dates. Not following the deadlines could result in not obtaining any credits for the work done.

There are different ways of searching for the project topic:

  1. There is a public list of projects, that you can use for inspiration and contacts:
  2. We encourage you to take a look at the courses offered in the different degrees of ETSIT. If there are some courses related to the area you are interested in, you can directly contact the responsible professor.
  3. Many professors in our school also collaborate with the following research groups that provide TFG/TFM: ITEAM, ITACA, NTC, SATRD, CVBLAB, etc.
  4. You can check the different departments of our school at the following link.

If you need help with the search, don’t hesitate to contact us, indicating the field(s) in which you might want to do the research.
