Project

Students should have the first year of the course completed to have the breadth of knowledge desired to suitabily understand the main subjects of the field and their relevance for research

It is also recommended that the course on Research Methodologies to have been concluded, since it prepares students speficially for this research work

Being a non-teaching course, the traditional “teaching method” is not applicable

Students will have the support of a supervisor, who sould periodically meet and provide feedback, but mostly they will be doing their research independently

The main goal of this course is to carry out an applied research project that consists in an innovative approach with relevance to society and organizations, applying in real context innovative models previously unknown in those contexts. It is predominantly geared towards professional development.

It is intended that students develop the following skills:
– autonomy and proactivity
– research ability
– creativity and problem-solving
– scientífic writing
– public speaking

Being a non-teaching course, there is no traditional syllabus. Each student will study a specific topic of their own.

Each student must submit a project proposal including:
i. Justification of the study
ii. Goals and expected results
iii. Theoretical framework
iv. Methodology
v. Proposed structure of the final work
vi. Research schedule
vii. References

The research proposal will then be assessed by the Master Dregree’s Scientific Comittee and, should it be approved, validated by the Scientific Council of the school.

If the proposal is approved, the student must then carry out the proposed research plan. The final work should be structured as follows:
i. Introduction
ii. Literature Review
iii. Methodology
iv. Applied study
v. Discussion
vi. Conclusions
vii. References
