About the dedication of your studies
After your first registration, check the dedication we have registered for your thesis (part time / full time). If in addition to doing the thesis you are working (not directly related to your thesis), or you are doing some other activity that prevents you from devoting 100% of your time to the thesis, the recommendation is that you request a change to part-time.
