The Master's Thesis can be defended in the first call (whose request will be made in May and the defense in June), or in the extraordinary call of July.

The presentation will be carried out by the student in a public session on the date and time assigned by the coordination in accordance with the academic calendar approved by the faculty board. The student will present a summary of their Master's Thesis proposal within a maximum time established by the tribunal and previously communicated (approximately 15 minutes). Subsequently, the members of the evaluating tribunal will make the relevant observations and considerations. In any case, the defense session cannot exceed 30 minutes per thesis.

After the public presentation of the Master's Thesis, the evaluating tribunal will deliberate on the grade, taking into consideration the report issued by the academic tutor, the quality and content of the Master's Thesis, as well as the presentation itself, particularly the clarity of the presentation and the ability to debate and defend arguments of the student.

As established in the guidelines of the University of Vigo, the academic tutor of the Master's Thesis may be present with a voice in the deliberations of the tribunal, but it must be ensured that the tribunal makes the final grade in a closed session.
