Means for evaluating the quality of the Master's Degree Final Project

The quality of the final project works is guaranteed by the researching quality of the professors who lead the works and their high level of scientific productivity in prestigious journals in the field of the Master's Degree.

The objectivity of the evaluation of the quality of work is enhanced by the fact that members of the Tribunal are not working directors, acting deputy when the Tribunal presents a study conducted by a member of the Tribunal owner.
