5 Thesis defence

You can consult the date, time, and location of your thesis defense, as well as the assigned examination panel (chair, two members, and two alternate members), in your e-Secretaria two months before the defense period starts TFG/TFM calendar.

The thesis defense is conducted through a public oral presentation and consists of two phases:

A 25-minute oral presentation, in which the student summarizes the content of the thesis.

A defense, during which the student responds to questions the panel deems pertinent regarding the content and development of the thesis.

The total duration of both phases should not exceed one hour.

If your TFE includes confidential material, the examination panel must establish mechanisms to preserve it. These mechanisms may impact the public defense and, in any case, may require the members of the panel to accept a confidentiality agreement.

ETSEIB provides the available audiovisual equipment, but students are responsible for requesting and testing it through the concierge service

Remote defenses via videoconference, Skype, etc., are not allowed, except in force majeure cases authorized by the school's management.

If you need to demonstrate proficiency in a third language, your report and defense must be conducted in that language.

IMPORTANT! For Type TFEs, the defense will be taken at the host university, following its specific regulations regarding supervision and presentation.
