Learning unit contents
"The master's thesis is the final outcome of university studies. It shows that the student has acquired sufficient competencies to carry out a deep and rigorous investigation of a question. If considered satisfactory by the jury, the master's thesis testifies that the student is able to undertake, on their own, a research project, to gather information on the chosen issue, to suggest an accurate and detailed observation, to analyze it, to situate it in line with the theoretical discourses that enable a better comprehension of this issue, and, above all, to build a personal and original overview of it." (source: https://www.infocom.uliege.be/cms/c_4577316/fr/infocom-tfe, our translation).
