The support and guidance system for students admitted to the MSc in Data Science consists of the following procedure:

Guidance process. The Academic Board of the MSc in Data Science will assign a supervisor from the MSc’s teaching and research staff to each student for the entire period in which the student remains enrolled. The list of supervisors assigned to each enrolled student will be prepared once the registration process is closed, which will be available for consultation via the dissemination channels that the MSc organization has at their disposal.

The supervisor and the student will hold a preliminary meeting within 10 days after the beginning of the academic year in order to discuss and clarify issues related to academic guidance and management. At this meeting, the supervisor and the student will set deadlines for their regular meetings, during which the supervisor may answer the student's queries, advise on necessary matters, and support the student in conducting their academic activity. The student may also email their supervisor to discuss any ongoing queries, if necessary.

As such, the assigned supervisor shall advise the student on matters useful to them, so that when registering for the Master’s Final Project, they have a broad and adequate perspective on the academic approach to the project. The Internal Quality Assurance System (see Chapter 9) processes include a “Guidance Process” (PR/CL/2.1/004), which sets forth this section as an adaptation to the specific reality of the proposed curriculum. <top>
