Seminar and thesis supervision [ LCRIM2222 ]

The thesis support seminar takes place during the second four month period of the first year of the Master programme at the rate of at least five sessions of two hours.

These sessions follow the objectives indicated above and of which the final objective is getting the student to define as precisely as possible both the subject and the methodology of his/her thesis (particularly the necessity to resort to one phase of the thesis).

The seminar is also a forum for exchange among students with respect to all recommendations relating to the future completion of their theses both regarding form and content.

The holder of the seminar may demonstrate to the students the contemporary difficulties encountered in the branch of criminology to which the thesis support seminar is linked in order to guide the students in researching the subject of their theses.

The student is not authorized to sit the June Master 1 examination if no decision has been made on the subject of his/her thesis. The sponsor will inform the School secretary if he/she notes that the subject has not been decided on by the end of the seminar. The respective student will in such case be enrolled for individual examinations and not the test examination; he will be informed accordingly.

No marks will be awarded for attending the seminar, the assessment of any tasks by the student being included in the mark allocated to Master 2 for the thesis (cf. Infra).
