		Module: Final Project or Practicum ECTS credits: 30 Semesters: 1 and 2 Module type: Transversal, Compulsory

		Supervised research project or supervised practicum that will be qualified to get the final grade. The student will carry out a research or development project, write a scientific report and orally defend the results. You cand find the guidelines for preparing the project report here. Additionally, you can find here a Latex template and a PDF example.

		FINAL PROJECT Coordinator: Aurora Hernández-Machado The scope of this module is to provide the student with training in scientific research. You can find a list of available final projects here. OPTIONS: A. Biophysics final project (30 ECTS credits) 563639 Projecte final en Biofísica. B. Biophysics final project I and II (10 and 20 ECTS credits). 562788 Projecte final en Biofísica I. 563640 Projecte final en Biofísica II. This Module can be carried out either as a single course of one year duration (option A) or divided in two semestrial courses (option B). Please notice that each course is evaluated and students aiming at starting the Final Project in February (spring semester) must take option B. GENERAL STRUCTURE The overall 30 ECTS credits of the Final Project cover the following activities: Your own study and work on a research topic that is guided and supervised by an assigned tutor. The writing of a memory of the work done within the standards of a scientific article or essay. The oral defense of your work which includes a 15 minutes presentation and answering questions about your work by a board of lecturers during up to 15 minutes. Your attendance and participation in seminars that will take place along the academic year and which will be presented by invited international researchers (this does not apply for students pursuing a Practicum).
		PRACTICUM Coordinator: Jordi Soriano Fradera

		The Practicum involves 500 hours of internship in a private company or research institution carrying out the development project. Available practicum partnes: Ipsen Pharma and Starlab.

		FINAL NOTE FOR BOTH FINAL PROJECT AND PRACTICUM At the beginning of each course, the Master in Biophysics offers a list of potential projects and (it will be announced) Practicum with the corresponding tutors. This list of projects covers a broad range of topics in theoretical, computational or experimental Biophysics. Students (e.g. starting a PhD) are also welcome to provide their own proposal of a project and tutor (with previous agreement of the tutor) that will be evaluated to fit within the contents of the Master in Biophysics. The research topic of your project and tutor will be assigned according to your preferences and to the availability of tutors.
