Tittle selection and assignment

Students may choose a title proposed by an academic staff member attached to the ESEIAAT "Ofertes TFE" intranet or propose their own by contacting a professor who is willing to supervise their thesis.

The general procedure for proposing and assigning final thesis titles comprises the following stages:

  • A professor affiliated with the ESEIAAT enters the title and other required details on the "Ofertes de TFE" intranet and submits the proposed title for review.
  • The ESEIAAT final thesis coordinator verifies that the proposed topic meets all of the requirements to be a final thesis and makes it public. The proposed title is automatically visible to ESEIAAT students on the intranet for proposed final thesis titles.
  • Students interested in a particular final thesis title contact the professor who proposed it.
  • Once it has been agreed that a student will complete a particular final thesis, the student requests that title via the "Ofertes de TFE" for proposed final thesis titles.
  • The professor accepts the request.
  • The student accepts the assignment of the title.

Thesis titles must include at least the following information:

  • Title
  • Degree for which the thesis title is offered
  • Type: Study or design
  • Name of the thesis supervisor
  • Name of the co-supervisor (if applicable)
  • Objectives
  • Description of the work to be carried out
  • Expected workload (normally 25 hours for each ECTS credit in the curriculum).

A final thesis (TFE) is a time-limited academic work whose aim is to develop a specific solution to address a problem or meet a particular need within a given field of study. This solution can take different forms:

  • If the final outcome takes the form of a product or service with direct applicability, it is considered a project. This type of thesis usually includes the conception, design, development and possible implementation of a practical solution.
  • If the solution consists of drawing conclusions from research, data analysis or a theoretical study, it is considered a study. In this case, the work focuses on generating knowledge, validating hypotheses or proposing improvements in a particular field of knowledge.

Regardless of its nature, the thesis must demonstrate the student's ability to apply the knowledge acquired throughout their studies, using appropriate methodologies and following a structured and rigorous process.

Given the nature of the bachelor's and master's degree programmes taught at the ESEIAAT, the thesis should preferably be of the project type.

The general procedure for proposing and assigning bachelor's and master's thesis titles (TFG / TFM) comprises the following stages:

  1. Submission of the TFG / TFM title proposal by the academic staff member attached to the ESEIAAT.
  2. Validation of the proposal by the ESEIAAT TFG / TFM coordinator.
  3. Publication of the proposal on the TFG / TFM intranet and visibility to ESEIAAT students.
  4. Request for assignment of the proposal by ESEIAAT students.
  5. Assignment of the proposal to the student by the academic staff member supervising the proposal.
  6. Acceptance of the assignment by the student.

Once the thesis has been assigned and accepted and has the status "registered and accepted" in the eSecretaria, the student may enrol in the TFG / TFM within the deadlines set out in the academic calendar, provided that their academic record meets the requirements for enrolment in final theses.

IMPORTANT. Master’s thesis titles may only be proposed by PhD-holding professors attached to the ESEIAAT. Professors who do not hold doctoral degrees may co-supervise master's theses.

IMPORTANT. Final thesis titles and the assignment of thesis supervisors remain in effect for one year. After this period has elapsed, the student must request the title again, in which case they may opt to continue with the same thesis supervisor. Alternatively, the student may change the title and thesis supervisor if appropriate.
