Internal regulations
The Final Degree Project (TFG) Module materialises in a single matter and subject, which consists inthe elaboration of a research project or report supervised by one or several instructors of the bachelor’s degree programme. These papers or reports must be defended before a jury as established by RD1393/2007.
The TFG is an independent and individual project that each student will prepare under the guidance of a tutor whose role will be to support and facilitate the learning process. This project will allow the student to show the educational content received and the skills acquired associated with the bachelor's degree programme in a comprehensive manner.
When designing the curriculum for the bachelor’s degree and the conceptualisation of the final degree project at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya, we have considered that in order to offer high-quality personalised attention, the physiotherapist must first be able to interpret the scientific contributions that generate new perspectives on intervention and research, and also able to apply the different scientific methodologies in the construction of knowledge. Secondly, in response to the growing social demand for efficiency and effectiveness in health care, physiotherapists must not only be able to translate the results of scientific research to professional practice, but they must also actively and productively intervene in the different stages of scientific research processes. Therefore, training at the Universitat Internacional de Catalunya is also aimed at equipping the future physiotherapist with the skills needed to incorporate evidence-based physiotherapy to professional practice and become part the scientific progress in this discipline. For this important and specific reason, the subject "Design and Tools of Evidence-Based Physiotherapy Projects" has been proposed within the curricular path that will provide the foundation for the final degree project at a methodological level.
Pre-requisites
- To defend the TFG, the student must have completed and passed the first three academic years of the bachelor’s degree programme.
- To enrol in the TFG, the student must have enrolled in the rest of the degree programme subjects.
Objectives
The main objective of this topic is for the student to demonstrate that they have acquired the knowledge, skills and competences in all the degree programme subjects in one project, and able to integrate them into a single document and acquire knowledge about their specific topic. The student must also demonstrate before a jury their ability to present and communicate the most relevant aspects of their project.
