Characteristics of the Final Thesis
The final thesis for the master’s degree consists of the writing and public discussion of an essay by the student on a topic consistent with the objectives of the degree program, under the supervision of an advisor.
The dissertation must demonstrate mastery of the subject, critical thinking skills, ability to work independently, and effective communication.
The topic and structure of the final paper must be defined and agreed upon between the candidate and the advisor.
The general objectives of the master's thesis are:
- Clarity: The candidate’s arguments must be clearly, rigorously, and linearly expressed. Grammar and syntax must be impeccable. A concise style is recommended (short sentences and avoidance of redundancy), following academic and scientific writing conventions.
- Completeness: All information necessary to understand the candidate’s reasoning must be presented accurately.
- Theoretical soundness: The topic must be developed through thorough bibliographic research.
- Methodological rigor: In empirical studies, it is important to specify the methodological framework and describe the tools and techniques used.
Results must be discussed in relation to the reference literature, and ideally, they should introduce theoretical and/or practical innovations.
