Forty-six Gradu Amaierako Lanak / Trabajos de Fin de Grado since 2011, written in Basque, Spanish and English: what students have studied, what is proposed for the coming course, and how to plan, write and defend your own. Maintained from one verified database; each thesis is credited to its author, and grades are never published.

Each proposal states the physics, the methods, the material you start from, and what a finished thesis would contain. Pick one, or bring a topic of your own that fits the same standard; either way, write to me before the enrolment window closes.
Browse the proposals·How a thesis is developed·Ask about a topic
Every thesis I have directed or co-directed since the first one in 2011, one page each: title, abstract or source-derived synopsis, defence date, language, and, where the corpus allows it, selected figures and a citation block.
Topics I am prepared to direct next course. Each one comes with source material and a haiku that says what the thesis is really about.
Women in physics / Tracing paths and breaking walls / Inspiring the new
Life's great leap forward / Complexity hits a wall / Phase transition solves
Rolling down the lane / Physics guides the striking ball / Perfect game awaits
Prestige drives the crowd / Vocation fades in the noise / Model finds the truth
Opinions diverge / Networks echo and divide / Physics models why
A five-part guide for fourth-year Physics students, from choosing a topic to the last-minute checklist before the defence.
Objectives, topic choice, literature review, methodological plan, practical work, ethics.
Structure, academic writing, IEEE citations, writing tools, version control with Git.
Building the talk, speaking in public, handling questions, showing you understand.
VS Code, Git and GitHub, Quarto, LaTeX, reproducibility, and the final checklist.
Thinking about a thesis in condensed matter, complex systems or physics education?
I am a professor at the Physics Department of the Faculty of Science and Technology (EHU). My research is in condensed matter physics, structural phase transitions and critical phenomena, and I direct theses in those areas and in the social and computational physics you see in the proposals. Write to josu.igartua@ehu.eus with a paragraph on what interests you.
