Selection technique and assignment
Procedures

The aim of the final project degree (FPD) is to show that the student had acquired the skills associated with the Chemistry degree. The FPD is supervised by a tutor, is evaluated individually and it can be performed in different laboratories of the Department of Analytical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, the Department of Physical and Inorganic Chemistry, in other departments of the URV, at other universities, research centers, in companies or in foreign universities.

Students will be distributed in the different areas of knowledge of the departments, and foreign companies and universities based on the number of places available. The distribution will seek to maintain the preferences the students express and in any case, the student's transcript will be taken into account.
