Each student is required to carry out a final assignment that is worth 15 ECTS credits: a research project for those students who have chosen the pathway for Research and Advanced Academic Training and an in-company placement for those students who have chosen the Professional pathway.

The student is to present a proposal for the final assignment, which must be approved by the Coordination Committee of the Master's program and the student's academic advisor.

To meet degree requirements, students in both pathways will prepare a final report on their assignment and make an oral presentation.

There is only one round for final assignments defences with two periods: July and September. The timetable and procedures for the round will be published in a timely fashion.

• PROPOSAL PROCEDURE FOR THE RESEARCH PROJECT (the final assignment for those students choosing the pathway Research and Advanced Academic Training): The Project is to be carried out under the supervision of a professor in the Faculty of Mathematics. The student is required to present a proposal providing personal information and a brief description of the proposed project. The proposal must be signed off by the project director. In the academic year 2007/08, the deadline for submitting the proposal to the Secretary of the Faculty of Mathematics is before 4 March 2008. It will subsequently be published in the list of projects accepted by the Coordination Committee.
  
  
• PROPOSAL PROCEDURE FOR THE IN-COMPANY PLACEMENT (the final assignment for those students choosing the Professional pathway): The Placement is to be carried out in collaboration with the company or institution involved, under a supervisor who works for the company or institution. The student is required to present a proposal providing personal information and a brief description of the proposed work and objectives to be fulfilled. The proposal must be delivered to the Secretary of the Faculty of Mathematics before the start of the placement. Once the proposal receives approval from the Coordination Committee, an agreement of collaboration will be signed between the company and the University of Barcelona.
