At the end of the course, the student will be able to :
• Conduct original experimental research in a research laboratory setting;
• Work both collaboratively and independently in a research laboratory;
• Write a written text, meeting the standards of university teaching, summarising the essence of the research work carried out;
• Present the research work carried out to an academic audience;
• Defend and justify the research work carried out from a scientific point of view.
The dissertation involves laboratory work, the preparation of a written report, and the presentation and defence of the work before an academic panel.
Students carry out their research under the supervision of their supervisor and with the assistance of the researchers responsible for guiding them. They have access to the laboratory’s resources to carry out their research. They are expected to attend and participate in seminars organised by the research laboratory.
A written text summarising all the results obtained during the research activities will be submitted by the student. The exact dates for the submission of written work and presentations will be communicated by the secretariat of the Department of Chemistry. Any late submission of the written dissertation will result in a ban on the oral presentation and defence of the dissertation during the session.
The student will defend his/her thesis before a jury made up of academic and scientific members of the Department. The assessment of the unit is based on the following elements:
• The quality of the work done during the year - rated by the thesis sponsor in consultation with the supervising team.
• The quality of the written text - graded by the reporters of the dissertation.
• The quality of the oral presentation and defence - graded by the dissertation referees and the jury.
To validate the credits of the course unit, the student must obtain a mark of at least 10/20 in each component of the mark.
