ECTS : 15
Description du contenu de l'enseignement :
You will work on your master thesis all along the Master 2 year. The Master thesis ends with its defense in front of a jury. The jury is made of your Master thesis supervisor and another researcher, specialist of the topic, to be chosen preferably with the LEDa faculty. The defense lasts 45 minutes, questions and answers included.
Compétence à acquérir :
The Master’s thesis is a unique opportunity to develop your own research question and to make use of all the knowledge (theoretical and/or applied) you have acquired so far to address it. The Master’s thesis concludes with a defense, during which you present your work before a jury. By defending your thesis, you demonstrate your capacity for innovation in addition to your modeling skills. Preparing your presentation also allows you to develop valuable soft skills: the ability to explain complex ideas in simple terms, to synthesize various results concisely, and to answer questions clearly, succinctly, and convincingly. In this respect, the Master’s thesis and its defense are key assets for students applying for a PhD position — and not only for them.
Mode de contrôle des connaissances :
The final grade is based on two grades: 75% on the Master thesis itself, 25% for the quality of the oral defense.
