To obtain the Master’s Degree in Tourism Innovation and Marketing, all students must successfully complete the Master’s Thesis (TFM). The 6 ECTS credits for the TFM will assess whether the student has attained the general and specific learning outcomes of the Master’s programme.

This dissertation must be focused on assessing the competences associated with the Master’s degree and will be defended in public (at an authorised venue) once the student has successfully completed all the credits in the Master’s curriculum, with the exception of those corresponding to the dissertation.

Its content and length must be commensurate with the 6 ECTS credits allocated to it; consequently, the number of hours the student spends working on it to complete the project will correspond to those credits.

As this is a new degree programme that does not replace any pre-existing one at this university, it is not appropriate in this case to establish a phase-out period (a scenario that is only considered when there are curricula for older degree programmes).

The University has a Procedure for the Planning, Development and Discontinuation of Degree Programmes (PCL 05):

The purpose of this Internal Quality Assurance System Procedure is to establish the manner in which the Catholic University of San Antonio in Murcia (UCAM) ensures the planning and development of its degree programmes, as well as to provide mechanisms for the proper discontinuation of degree programmes. This procedure applies to all official degree programmes offered by the Catholic University of San Antonio in Murcia, as well as to UCAM’s stakeholders (students, businesses, administrative and support staff, academic staff, public administration, society in general, etc.).
