Main themes

Focusing on a topic related to modern languages and literature, with a focus on Germanic languages, the master's thesis allows students to:

carry out a critical analysis and synthesis of a given scientific question,
contextualise an issue in relation to current knowledge,
present the results of their work by justifying their methodological choices, arguing their hypotheses and scientifically presenting the results obtained.

Learning outcomes

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

demonstrate the ability to present correctly the results of personal, objective and methodical work, the quality of which is not necessarily linked to its scope.
The dissertation is, like the other forms of teaching, an integral part of the programmes in which it is included. It is a piece of research required of students which, at this stage of their training, should be considered as an introduction to research in the discipline concerned.
The dissertation consists of research work :

specific, in relation to other teaching activities ;
methodical, the foundations of which are laid by the basic training ;
integrated into the programme and limited in scope.

If two Master's degrees are combined: the requirements for the dissertation, as well as the instructions in the Vademecum, remain unchanged. However, the promoter of the second dissertation may make some adjustments based on the first subject, but the precise nature of these adjustments is left to his or her discretion.
