Evaluation method
|
The methodology associated to thesis development is based on academic supervision, which is performed by a doctorate professor or researcher. In some cases, the supervision can also be assured by a specialist whose merit must be recognized by the Council of DEMI.
The thesis is submitted to public discussion with a jury nominated by the President of DEMI. Such jury is composed by three to five elements, including the supervisor. The grade is conceded in a scale between 0 and 20, being required a minimum of 10 for approval. |
Subject matter
The program is focused on thesis development, whose objectives are established by the supervisor in articulation with MEGI’s Scientific Commission. The work development follows the conventional approach, encompassing the following stages:
