Main themes

The masters dissertation, irrespective of the subject, allows a student to : - summarise a given scientific topic,
- put a specific issue in context drawing on existing information,
- present the results of the dissertation.

Learning outcomes

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

The dissertation must demonstrate the student's ability to describe correctly the results of a personal, objective and methodical work. The length of the dissertation is not a criteria in evaluating its quality. Similar to the other forms of learning, the dissertation is an essential component of the programme to which it belongs. Status quaestionis about an issue of the masters, this piece of work is more limited than a dissertation and must be done in one year.

Content

The end-of-studies project (which does not count as such when you go on to a Master 120) consists in taking stock of the question on a given subject; it will not necessarily involve recourse to first-hand sources.

Evaluation methods

The evaluation of the TFE will assess the ability to identify a research subject and pose a problem, to conduct a quality heuristic investigation, to apply the principles of documentary criticism to the works and/or sources used, to synthesize the information gathered and to communicate it in writing.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) must be used responsibly and in accordance with the practices of academic and scientific integrity. As scientific integrity requires that sources be cited, the use of AI must always be reported. The use of artificial intelligence for tasks where it is explicitly forbidden will be treated as a case of irregularity or plagiarism. 

Other information

The promoter of the TFE is freely chosen by the student from among the definitive academic or scientific staff of the History Department. The reader is chosen by the jury after submission of the TFE. The body of the TFE, excluding bibliography, illustrations and appendices, should be between 40 and 60 pages long (2000 characters per page). When submitted (in triplicate), the TFE must be accompanied by a summary of no more than 20 lines (hard copy and electronic format).
