Learning Outcomes of UE

The master thesis is a first experience in scientific research work (or bibliographic, or didactic, according to the context). This work is done in a laboratory in a university, or in a private company and is corrdinated by a supervisor that proposes the subject, supervises and advises the student in his approach. In the case of an experimental subjet, the work encompases: bibliographic research on the subject, planning and realization of the experiments, analysis of the results, and writing of the report (50 to 100 pages maximum, without annexes). This report presents the results in the usual way in science (structured in introduction, goal, material and methods, results, discussion, conclusion, bibliograhy, annexes). A the end of this work, the student will develop a know-how in the various aspects of the scientific research (documentation, planning and realization of experiments, interpretation, restitution).

Content of UE

Depending on the subject and the laboratory where the work is done.

Prior Experience

A general knowledge in computer science, as well as a specialisation in the domain covered by the master thesis' subject is required. A successful completion of the "Reading and Scientific Writing" course (US-MC-INFO60-014-C, AA S-INFO-050)

Q2 UE Assessment Comments

The written report is evaluated by a commitee constituted by the supervisor, the co-supervisor (if applicable), and at least two referees. One or more external referees, specialized in the subject, can make part of the commitee. The student also does a public oral presentation of 15min. This presentation is followed by a short questions/answers session (10min).
