Learning unit contents

In the second year of the Master in Human Resource Management, the students have to complete an internship. They also write a Master thesis consisting in an individual exercise of research following a rigorous approach.
This seminar aims to assist students in a work of grounded research. From the concrete work situations they will face, they will write a the research project of their Master Thesis.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the seminar, the student will be able

  • to define a research question,
  • to develop a semi-structured interview guide,
  • to conduct some semi-structured interviews,
  • to make some empirical statements based on a comparative analysis (of interviews and fields studied by students of the same group)
  • and to problematize.
These tasks underpin the sociological research methodology that the student can apply to his Master thesis.
By the way, he/she will have developed critical thinking and teamwork skills.
