SPAIN. Similar to my previous question. I did my own degree many moons ago, and I don't actually recall doing one of these. I'd be interested in knowing what is called nowadays, again on both sides of the pond.
NB: The same abbreviation appears in a previous kudoz query, "Trayecto de Formación General", where the answer given (by our sadly missed colleague Charles Davis) was "General Training Pathway" but I don't know if that's the same thing in this case.
"El Trabajo Fin de Grado (TFG) es un trabajo autónomo que cada estudiante realizará bajo la orientación de un tutor/a, quien actuará como dinamizador y facilitador del proceso de aprendizaje."

(program) exit project
I'd go for the term "project" as it covers a wide range of culminating academic and intellectual experiences for college and university students.
https://taubmancollege.umich.edu/urbanplanning/degrees/maste...
As a culmination of the degree, all Master of Urban and Regional Planning students are required to complete an exit project. Exit projects are "integrative": they rely on knowledge and skills developed across the urban and regional planning curriculum rather than through a single course. Most students meet this requirement by taking a Capstone Studio course.
The exit project requirement may be filled in one of three ways/u>, each of which involves six credit hours:
1. URP 603 – Capstone Studio
Most students participate in the capstone studio, a client-based, collaborative planning experience that mirrors real-world practice.
2. URP 602 – Professional Project
This option provides students the opportunity to develop their creative abilities in planning and problem-solving on a professional, client-based topic not otherwise provided by a Capstone Studio.
3. URP 601 – Planning Thesis
A thesis is a creative, scholarly work developed from independent research.

Comment: "In the end, I'm using "Final Degree Project/FDP", which appears to be favoured by Spanish universities. Thanks again for the help."

Spanish term (edited):
TFG = Trabajo Fin de Grado
degree thesis (master’s degree program), degree dissertation (doctoral degree program)
TFG = Trabajo Fin de Grado = degree thesis, degree dissertation
Differences Between a Dissertation vs. Thesis
The primary difference between a dissertation vs thesis is the degree programs that require these projects.
- Students inmaster’s degree program will write a thesis,
- whereas students in a doctoral degree program will complete a dissertation.
Another difference between the two projects is that a dissertation usually requires an oral defense, whereas a thesis generally does not. After submitting the completed dissertation to their dissertation committees, students will schedule dates for the oral presentation of their work. The committee members will ask questions and sometimes pose challenges. Students must be able to justify their methodology and interpretation of their findings.
Additionally, as you might expect, a typical master’s thesis is far shorter than a typical doctoral degree dissertation.
- A thesis might be between 40 and 80 pages, although it can vary from one degree program to the next.
- In contrast, the average dissertation is between 100 and 300 pages.

Note from asker:
| Tx. I could never quite get my head round the difference between a thesis and a dissertation... |
Peer comment(s):

Helen Unger Clark (X)
: I somewhat agree, but I would specify it as "senior thesis" or "undergraduate thesis." Many thanks for including the explanation of thesis vs. disseration!

senior thesis / undergraduate thesis
Please note that both of the proposed terms apply to North American English.
Canada: https://www.history.utoronto.ca/undergraduate/curriculum-cou...
US: https://writingproject.fas.harvard.edu/pages/senior-thesis-w...
My concern with the other proposals is that they talk about graduate-level projects. A TFG is a paper that you write at the end of an undergraduate degree. (I just handed mine in!)
