The Research Project (10 ECTS) and the Master's Thesis (10 ECTS) comprise laboratory work and/or fieldwork, together with a literature review and the preparation of the final written report. The final report must include an Introduction, Background, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusions, and References. It should be written concisely and must not exceed 60 A4 pages, using 1.5 line spacing and margins of no more than 2 cm. The work must focus on a parasitic disease or a related aspect and will be supervised by one or two lecturers involved in the Master's programme.

The project may be carried out either at the Universitat de València or at other Spanish or international institutions. In the latter case, in addition to the academic supervisor, a local tutor will be appointed to work in close coordination with the supervisor via the Internet and to oversee the student's day-to-day work. The final report must also include a certificate signed by the tutor and/or supervisor confirming that the work has been completed under their supervision.

The final written report will be assessed by a committee composed of three lecturers from the Master's programme. This type of Master's Thesis follows international standards.
