Description


The Final Degree Project (TFG) is an in-depth personal work on a topic or problem, of synthesis and often transversal within the scope of the Degree studies completed by the student, with the aim that the the student demonstrates his/her ability to apply the training acquired throughout the Bachelor's studies, accrediting the obtaining of the Bachelor's degree.

The student's personal work linked to the completion of the TFG corresponds to 25 hours per ECTS (500 hours with a TFG of 20 ECTS).

The TFG is an individual work without detriment that it can be an independent part of a work developed jointly between students of the same or different degrees. In any case, the defense and evaluation of the TFG is individual.

Learning outcomes


At the end of the course the student must be able to:

  • Analyze the problem, background study, analysis, design and implementation of an audiovisual project according to specifications
  • Evaluate the different possibilities of project resolution, analyzing the interest and feasibility and knowing how to apply the most appropriate one
  • Understand and apply the techniques of planning, execution and documentation of the different phases of a project with a realistic budget
  • Prepare a project report that includes: problems to be solved, background, objectives, project phases, project development, economic and environmental impact study, conclusions, bibliographic references and future lines of work
  • Carry out a control and follow-up in installments, economic assessment, environmental and quality impact.
  • Present and publicly defend the work done

Working methodology


The student will carry out the TFG, in general, under the direction of a teacher from the School. If appropriate, the TFG may be co-directed by professors or graduates from outside the School. The director will guide and support the student with a regime of personal interviews.

The student will have to write a document about the TFG completed and defend it before a court, which will evaluate it and propose a grade.

The Final Thesis is regulated by its own regulations, available on the School's website, which must be followed in detail. Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the final thesis being suspended.

However, at the beginning of the work period, the person in charge of the Degree Final Thesis will conveniently inform of other documents, rubrics or regulations that may affect the Final Degree Thesis.

Contents


Completion of a theoretical or practical project (Final Project) in the field of audiovisual and/or multimedia creation, production and realization.

Learning activities


DEVELOPMENT AND WRITING OF THE THESIS:

Completion of the final degree thesis and writing of its appropriate documentation.

The documentation of the TFG will be carried out according to the regulations relating to the TFG. The documentation must reflect in detail the work done and will be one of the elements that the court will take into consideration to evaluate the work.

During the preparation of the documentation, three follow-up deliveries will be made, which will be assessable:

  • Preliminary project delivery
  • Release buffer
  • Delivery of final documentation

These deliveries will be made according to the calendar of the TFG call in question.

 

PRESENTATION AND DEFENSE OF THE THESIS BEFORE THE COURT:

Oral test of presentation and defense of the Final Degree Project before the court.

Evaluation system


The evaluation of the Final Degree Thesis, as established by the Final Degree Thesis regulations, will consist of:

  • 30% of the final grade will be given by the tutor with the evaluation of the deliveries made during the follow-up
  • 70% of the final grade will be set by the court, after the defense of the TFG

The final thesis will be evaluated by the court after its presentation and defense. The evaluation will consider the work done, the quality of the documentation and the defense of the work. According to the Final Degree Thesis regulations, in order to access the qualification described above, it is essential to pass (obtain a qualification of 5 or more) in court.

The court will evaluate the TFG based on the defense, technical and artistic difficulty, achievement of the objectives, usefulness, rigor and quality of the work, among others. The TFG Committee of the Degree will publish, if applicable, the objective criteria with which the TFG will be assessed, at the beginning of the process.

Previously, the Final Degree Project Committee of the degree will review the documentation submitted to detect defects in form. In the event of a serious defect, the documentation may be returned to the student, who must rectify it within a very short period of time, as stipulated in the TFG regulations.
