Introduction
This course comprises, in a practical form, the main skills required to enter the field of research and evaluates the integrated skills needed to subsequently undertake a doctorate program.
Tthe master includes ECTS aimed at consolidating the principles of scientific methodology to design a research project leading to the Final Master’s Project.
Pre-course requirements
None.

Learning outcomes of the subject
The student:
1. Design a research protocol based on the scientific method.
2. Write an adequate introduction, rationale, objectives, assumptions, state-of-the-art materials and methods, results, discussion and conclusions of your final project.
3. Carry out the critical analysis of scientific results.
4. Defense in English of the Final Master’s Project before the Committee.
Syllabus
The Final Master's Project (“TFM”) is the final result of the student/s work, tutored by a member of the teaching staff, where they put into practice all the knowledge acquired during the program. Students must complete the work on the final project, applying the knowledge acquired regarding clinical research and materials. The research supervisor will oversee the collection of research, analysis, findings and conclusions to ensure the acquisition of skills. It will be assessed in accordance with the specific rules for the assessment of TFM.
