Final Exam

At the end of the degree programme, students must be able to formulate an interesting research question motivating its relevance, to critical assess the extant literature on the topic and to satisfactorily address it by using theoretical and/or empirical analysis. This process should be finalized by writing a Thesis, which normally should include some original results, and that must be defended in front of the final graduation committee.

Students will be trained to independently engage in all stages of a research project, formulating a research question, reviewing the extant literature, elaborating theoretical and/or empirical analyses, writing a clear piece of research, and presenting the results in front of an audience during the Thesis final defense.
