Master’s Final Project (MFP)

Students must write and turn in a project which will be supervised by a professor affiliated with the Master’s programme as part of the Practicum Seminar and the Master’s Final Project at the end of the second semester. This project must be publicly defended before a committee made up of faculty from the Master’s programme. We recommend that one of the committee members come from outside the Master’s but be a member of another post-graduate programme in the Blanquerna–URL Faculty of Psychology, Education and Sport Sciences.

Defence of the project

The student will have ten minutes to defend their project. They should prioritise the aspects from their project that they deem the most important and make a clear, precise and comprehensive summary of it. Once this presentation is over, the student must respond to any observations, comments and questions from the members of the panel.

The Master’s project should be written in Catalan, although the Master's and Doctorate Academic Management Team can authorise its being submitting in another language with a prior request in writing from the director. In this case, an abstract of the project must be submitted in Catalan. 

Evaluation criteria

The criteria for evaluating the Master’s Final Project refer to the competences attained during the process of developing it, the final product and its defence. For this reason, the final evaluation will be the outcome of different partial evaluations:

• Competences attained during the process of developing the project: The student’s persistence and perseverance in developing the project will be evaluated, along with their progress in acquiring the skills and attitudes needed for research and intervention. This assessment will be made by the project monitor or supervisor.
• Product: The project will be assessed according to different aspects borne in mind by the majority of scholarly publications to ensure the coherence and quality of research or interventions. The project supervisor and the members of the panel will issue a report prior to the defence which will be submitted to the Post-Graduate Committee at least one week before the public defence of the project.
• The clarity, precision, originality and quality of the oral presentation of the project will be assessed depending on the conditions required by oral communication before a panel.

The final mark of the project will be issued by the Evaluation Committee in accordance with the competences outlined in the curriculum.
