Methodologies	Description
Supervised projects	The project will consist of a research project in the health or social-health field carried out by the student, with special emphasis on the application of this research to the field of gerontology and geriatrics, which must be submitted within the established deadlines and with the approval of the director.
Document analysis	This section covers the preparation and presentation of the TFM project. For a TFM proposal to be considered accepted and for the student to be able to proceed with its development and preparation, the student must present, before the end of the first four-month period and with the approval of the assigned tutor, to the Master's Academic Committee, a proposal of the work he/she intends to develop, which will include the following elements: - Summary, maximum one thousand words, of the content of the project (background, objectives and hypotheses of the research, methodology to be used). - Outline or general table of contents (possible structure in chapters and main headings). - Bibliographic selection related to the topic of study. At least 80% of the works that justify the interest in the research must be of scientific quality, in English and included in bibliographic databases such as Medline. - Signature of the tutor and student. Once the approval of the Commission and the tutor of the submitted proposal has been obtained, the student will proceed with the development of the TFM.
Seminar	Carried out with the tutor/director in order to draw up the project that will be the basis of the TFM.
Oral presentation	In accordance with the established deadlines, students must make a public defence presentation of their work before the examining board.
