• Thesis bureaucracy: Thesis paperwork changes every now and then, so pay attention to ask to URV which rules apply at the moment you would like to submit. Following are described some of the steps that are usually required as a guideline. Take into account that on August most URV offices are closed.

1) Thesis registration

2) Thesis deposit: remember to check the data you gave when registering your thesis, some things (specially the title!) might have changed.

2.1) Docs for the Department:

- thesis director report

- defence application form

- 1 copy of the thesis (can be spiral bound)

- Thesis jury members' data

- copy of your B. Sc. degree, university data, date of B. Sc.

2.1) If you want to ask for the "European Mention Thesis":

- application form

- certificates to prove you've been doing research in a UE university/research centre for at least 3 months

- 2 reports on your thesis by external European researchers

2.3) Docs for the Escola de Postgrau i Doctorat (can only be handed in between the 1st and 10th of the month).

- 1 copy of your thesis

- if the thesis is written in English, a 4-page summary in catalan / Spanish is needed

- TDX form
