Dual university programmes in Spain are in the minority (2.4% in 2025); their potential necessitates an analysis of successful experiences. This study examines the guidelines for Final Year Projects (FYP) and Master’s Theses (MT) across the 67 dual programmes currently offered at 20 universities. As these guidelines are the primary source of information for students and companies, their content and level of detail were analysed. The results reveal significant disparities and relevant omissions that limit their guidance function and highlight the need for common criteria. Finally, recommendations are proposed regarding the essential elements that must be included to ensure educational quality.
