Semester 4 includes common culture activities (10 ECTS, starting during Semester 3), the master’s thesis (18 ECTS) and a course or internship (2 ECTS).
Semester 4 aims to enhance and apply learning outcomes. Depending on their Master’s thesis project and career perspectives, students will:
- stay in Paris (and take advantage of the Paris hub of partners and associated partners),
- return to the university where the first year of the Master’s was taken,
- visit one of the associated partners, or any relevant institution.
They will also choose between:
- Writing the Master’s thesis in a “research lab environment”;
- Writing the Master’s thesis in the context of a “professional internship”.
Students will be integrated into the relevant research lab (with access to seminars and research meetings, databases, library and computing resources). During Semester 4, they will
- work on their Master’s thesis in the chosen institution (February-June);
- take one course (see lists below) or follow local research seminars (equivalent to 2 ECTS). This activity aims (i) to favour their induction in the hosting institution and/or (ii) to help with their Master’s thesis (methodology, specific advanced courses…). Note: If a student choose an additional course which is given during Semester 3, he/she does not have anymore obligations to take an additional course during Semester 4.
In construction.…
The internship may be spent at one of the non-academic associated partner or at any relevant institution provided that the internship is directly related to the topic of the Master’s thesis, so that the time spent can be used as fieldwork in preparation for the dissertation. It should be noted that the requirements are the same for a thesis done in a context of a professional internship and a research lab environment. Note also that the students willing to do a professional internship have to find the position. The internship can last 4 to 6 months.
