The End of Degree Project constitutes a training block by itself, studied once the rest of the blocks have been passed.
The EDP will consist of students preparing an original project individually, with a teaching load of 7.5 ECTS in which the knowledge, skills and abilities acquired during the studies carried out in the degree of Philosophy Degree are accredited. It will include, as a minimum, tasks of bibliographic search and review, reading and integration of information, preparation of relevant information, writing and presentation and public defence before a tribunal.
The EDP must be an original project and be about a topic related to the degree.
The specific subject of the EDP must be adapted to the range of thematic lines offered by the centre during the academic year in which it is held. Each student is assigned a thematic line and a tutor upon request. Subsequently, the student and the tutor will delimit the EDP’s title.
