Topic Sub-topic
The subject Final Project will be organized on the basis of three activities that the student must perform properly: -
1. Development of an original work related to one of the multiple fields of the working world of a biologist.
The works will be done under the supervision of a professor (tutor) assigned to the subject.
There are different types of final degree project for which students can choose:

-Type A: offered by professors of the degree. At the beginning of the academic year students should opt for a project theme among those offered. The End of Degree Project Committee will establish the norms and terms that will govern the award to the students of the topics proposed by the professors.

- Type B: proposed by students and agreed with a professor of the degree who will supervise the work.

-Type C: proposed by students to be carried out in institutions other than the UVIGO with which there is an agreement. This type of work will imply the existence of an academic tutor from the institution and a person from the external entity who will act as a co-tutor.

-Type D: subject to students with special educational needs.

-Type E: developed by students within the framework of a mobility program.

The particular characteristics of each of these types of work, as well as the rules that govern them, are included in the regulations of the Final Degree Project in Biology.

The type of project should be limited to these sections:

-Experimental work that is developed in the laboratories of the center or in other research centers of the UVIGO of biological scope.

-Theoretical development (design, planning, applicability) of a project of economic, social, environmental, educational interest, etc., related to the field of biology, or technology based on biology.

-Review and bibliographical research work whose objective is a possible practical application (initial study for a project, innovative case, etc.)

-Other works corresponding to the offer of professors that do not specifically comply with the above modalities. They must be approved by the Final Degree Project Committee.

- Work applied to biology carried out in external public and private institutions.
2. Delivery of a written report in time. It will be focus on the project carried out by the student.
The characteristics of the report and the deadlines for delivery will be established sufficiently in advance by the End of Degree Project Committee.
3. Presentation and defense of the work before an evaluation tribunal that will evaluate and qualify it. The rules of presentation and defense of the project will be established by the End of Degree Project Committee, in agreement with the approved regulations.
