| Holder(s) : | Rachel Brahy, Julie Colemans, Marie Muselle |

| Language : | Langue française |
|
| Course contents : | During the 1st and 2nd Masters, all students carry out an internship (worth 12 and nine ETCS respectively). During the 2nd Masters, all students must also carry out an individual piece of work, which is often linked to a research field (dissertation). Particular skills, notably in terms of methodology, reflectivity, organisational ability and research, are required to conduct this work successfully. This seminar aims to help students acquire these skills. |
|
| Course objective : | The course objectives are two-fold. On the one hand, the course offers the skills to carry out a methodological analysis of the internship. On the other hand, it allows students' research work to be followed longitudinally. Finally, the seminar informs students of the formal requirements of different kinds of work. |
|
| Prerequisites : | Students should have acquired sufficient methodological and theoretical skills (during the 1st Master) to develop a research project and build an internship plan. |
|
| Workshops : | Drafting of several pieces of work (see below) |
