DUAL PROGRAMME
The End-of-Course/End-of-Master’s Project (TFG/TFM) at the Higher Polytechnic School (EPS) of Mondragón Unibertsitatea (MU) has several objectives:
On the one hand, it plays a very important role in the training process of EPS engineers, as the satisfactory execution of a project with characteristics that are appropriate to the future professional profile aims to help the student expected to have their first supervised experience professional as an engineer.
The academic engineering plans at EPS were designed so that students can alternate between study and work throughout their training process. Thanks to this, most of our students have close contact with the company throughout their training. Nevertheless, the TFG/TFM aims to establish a student-company relationship that is appropriate to the characteristics of the professional profile, that is, it aims to show the student what the engineering work consists of.
On the other hand, the End-of-Course/End-of-Master’s Project is also intended to provide a service to companies, as this has a great value from two points of view:
- The contribution to the company’s technological and organisational development. The qualification of students, even if they are not experienced professionals, is very high. This means that the results achieved after the completion of the one-year TFG/TFM are of considerable value.
- The recruitment of qualified personnel. In most cases, students carry out the project at the company on a full-time basis. During this time, they have the chance to acquire in-depth knowledge of the company, its technology, organisation, culture, procedures, etc. while integrating it into their work teams. The company also trains them, knowing them and valuing them, which allows it to judge with greater knowledge if they are suitable people for professional integration into the workforce.

"Update of ISO 9001:2000 to ISO 9001:2008" // UTIMESA (Vitoria-Gasteiz, Álava)
"The End-of-Master’s Project carried out at the UTIMESA company has given me the opportunity to develop the skills and apply the knowledge worked during the Master’s Degree Course and apply them in a real environment. I was able to see in the work environment the areas worked during the course, such as production management, quality management, business innovation, management of business projects, and treatment and negotiation with suppliers and customers. The tools acquired during the Master’s Degree were very useful. Undoubtedly, the experience has been extraordinary and rewarding both for me and for the company, and after finishing the project, I continue working as Head of Management Systems at Utimesa."
