TFMs: General information

In the third semester, the student must complete a Master's Thesis with a dedication equivalent to 15 ECTS credits.

 

The Master's Thesis involves developing a theoretical or applied project. Many theoretical projects aim for the student to critically review some of the recently published research works in the fields related to the topic of each project, comparing the different existing alternatives or even proposing new alternatives that could be studied more deeply in a future Doctoral Thesis. Applied projects consist of the analysis, study, and resolution of problems with real data, where modern techniques of Statistics or Operations Research must be applied.

Additionally, there is the possibility of undertaking a supervised project in a company that collaborates with the Master in Statistical Techniques. The objective is for the student to analyze and study problems in the field of Statistics and Operations Research that are of interest to the collaborating companies. These companies, in most cases, have already developed agreements and projects with the university departments that collaborate with this master. In all cases, the student of the Master's Thesis will be supervised by university faculty who meet the requirements mentioned in the regulations.

A reference for a Master Thesis work may be chosen from any of the research contained in the PhD.
