| Selection technique and assignment |
| Procedures |
|
The choice and assignment of the subject and tutor of the Master's Thesis (MT) will follow the following procedure: a) The student must submit to the MT coordinator their proposal regarding the topic
of their MT and their preferences regarding their tutor that they wish to be
assigned. If the student does not submit their proposal by the established deadline,
it will be understood that they no longer intend to prepare an MT. b) The MT coordinator will inform the students, as
proposals from organizations and institutions arrive, about the possibility of
preparing the MT within the URV Service Learning Programme. The proposals
put forward by the students will be discussed by the individuals and entities
involved in the URV's Service Learning Programme and, if necessary, will be
presented for inclusion. c) Students will preferably propose tutors from among the teachers on the master's
degree. However, the student may propose a teacher from outside the master's
degree and also apply for joint tuition. d) The proposal must be accepted by the TFM coordinator. In cases where the
student's proposed subject or tutor is not accepted, the coordinator will contact the
student to submit a new proposal. e) If the student does not propose a tutor, the coordinator will assign one. f) Students who prepare MTs within the URV's Service Learning Programme will
have a tutor from the FEE and a tutor from the institution where the project is
carried out. |
