Regarding the research modality, the most common is that the master's professors offer research proposals to carry out the TFM and that the students choose one of them. In the event that two students choose the same proposal, the professor who has proposed the research topic will decide whether he or she can tutor more than one student or, if not, will choose from among the interested students. To do so, it may request additional information from the students (e.g. curriculum vitae, personal interview, etc.).  If there is no research proposal that interests them, they can choose to elaborate the work in the clinical and applied modality or propose a specific research topic and a tutor to assess the feasibility of this proposal.

In the case that the student has neither topic nor tutor and has doubts about what to do, the coordination of the TFM is responsible for orienting him/her and providing a meeting with the potential tutor. Likewise, the TFM coordination proposes alternatives of topic and tutor that correspond to the student's interests.
