The Bachelor's Thesis (TFG) can be completed either as two separate projects or as a single, combined TFG that encompasses the competences of both degree programmes. Whenever possible, it is recommended to complete a single TFG (with a credit workload equal to the sum of both individual theses). When a single TFG is chosen, it may have two supervisors, one from each academic field of the degrees making up the double degree. If both degrees belong to the same field, the single TFG may be completed under a single supervisor.
