The final dissertation offers students the opportunity to study in depth and in a critical perspective a topic of environmental law or public property law.

It is a means of training, as other courses in the program, because it initiates the student to an independent and personal activity of scientific research, in connection with the subjects taught in the framework of the complementary Master.

It will result in the preparation of a dissertation of fifty pages, that should meet the academic standards (sources research, precision of the references, bibliography, ethics), by which the student will demonstrate:

- His/her ability to identify a research question and to be committed to it;
- His/her ability to find relevant sources, including doctrinal ones ("state of the art"), and to use them;
- His/her spirit of analysis, comparison and synthesis;
- His/her critical thinking;
- Rigor and clarity, both in the written presentation and the oral defense;
- The respect of the scientific and ethical criteria characterizing academic research.

The approach should not only be descriptive. For some topics, contact with practitioners is strongly recommended.
 
Content
The topic may be chosen freely by the student, provided the professor gives his/her consent and excluding any subject covered recently within the framework of the same Advanced Master’s programme or too directly related to the professional occupation of the student(s). An indicative list of “available” topics is proposed by the professor during the first class session.
Teaching methods
Monitoring and supervision of the dissertations written by each student individually.
Evaluation methods
Submission of a written dissertation (approximately 50 pages). The dissertation will be defended at the end of the year (in June or in September) in the presence of the other students.
