NOTE: Any queries or incidents regarding the procedures of the Final Degree Project of the Faculty of Law should be sent a ticketing.
1- General Information
Final Degree Project nature and description
Royal Decree 822/2021, of September the 28th, states that all official degree courses must conclude with the preparation and presentation of a TFG (Final Degree Project) which must form part of the syllabus. It also states that the TFG must be carried out in the final phase of the study plan following the criteria established by each university or centre, and must be defended in a public event.
More specifically, the TFG is defined as an autonomous and individual work that each student has to carry out under the supervision of a tutor (or tutors). The essential aim of these examinations is for students to demonstrate their mastery and application of knowledge, competences and skills that define the Official Degree. At the Faculty of Law it must deal with an aspect related to the qualification studied: Law, Political Science or Criminology.
Final Degree Project Committee
The main task of the Final Degree Project Committee is to manage the whole process related to the TFG and to guarantee the application of the Universitat de València Regulations, as well as to draw up the instructions for the preparation, presentation and assessment of the Final Degree Project for each Degree.
Final Degree Project Modalities
The Final Degree Project may have a practical or professional application aspect or it may be a research project. In the respective instruction for each grade, the characteristics of each modality are explained.

The student may register for the Final Degree Project when he/she has passed all the credits needed to complete the degree, or at least includes all these credits in his/her registration. You can only stop enrolling for participation credits, which must be incorporated before the deposit is formalised.
Each academic year and extraordinary enrolment period will be opened in February, which will allow students who were unable to enrol in the Final Degree Project during the ordinary period.
Enrolment will give the option of two official exam dates during the academic year.
4- Enrolment and assessment requirements for the Final Degree Project
In order to be able to carry out the defence/reading of the project, the student must meet the following academic requirements:
To have passed all subjects up to the 3rd year (up to the 4th year if it is a double degree).
To have enrolled in all the subjects of the 4th year (5th year for double degrees).

5- Assignment of subject area and tutor. Final Degree Project Choice.
The assignment of subject area and tutor is valid for the enrolled course.

This application, which must be sent between September the 1st and 20th to tfgdret@uv.es, must be signed by the tutor in handwritten or digital form. If the student does not apply for the reservation/continuity of subject area and tutor, he/she must necessarily participate in the general public assignment procedure.

Students enrolled in the Final Degree Project will be assigned a subject area and tutor by means of a procedure similar to that followed for self-enrolment. The student will receive an appointment with the date and time according to the average mark parameter and must make the choice telematically. The subject areas and tutors, as well as the appointments for the choice of places, can be checked via the Virtual Office from October the 6th.
