Master's Thesis

Description
The Master's Final Project (TFM) that culminates the educational process of the Master in Digital Marketing of BES La Salle, which includes the application of the multiple areas of knowledge developed during the course in a specific business and in a real scenario. It consists of two blocks: The Digital Marketing Plan and the Social Media Plan. The coordinators of the MMD and the teachers assigned as tutors of the final master's project (TFM) will act as a point of contact between students and teachers, as well as providing advice and support to all groups during their development. The TFM is resolved by groups of up to 3 people, and the case to be solved will be facilitated by the teaching team. Each group will have a tutor appointed by the MMD Coordinator. Its function will be to guide, advise, clarify doubts and ensure the smooth running of the SMP. The TFM is resolved by presenting a project report and a presentation for the defense before a Court for each of the parties (Digital Marketing plan and Social Media Plan). Each of the two reports of the TFM must have a maximum length of 80 pages. Annexes of a maximum of 30 pages in length may be incorporated into these pages. The typography and measurement used will be Arial 11 for the text, line spacing 1.5 and Arial 9 for footnotes. Defenses before the court will be conducted in groups and each member must present an equitable share of the presentation. The presentation will have a maximum duration of 20 minutes per group and then the court will have about 15 minutes to ask questions. Upon completion, the members of the tribunal will retire to deliberate and the notes will be communicated in a maximum of 4 working days. Each court is composed of a president, a secretary and a member not linked to the realization of the TFM and, although the TFM is carried out in a group, the notes will be fixed individually.
