Learning outcomes

At the end of their dissertation, students will be able to:
  • Conduct experimental research, under the responsibility of a physics department PI, 
  • Work in collaboration with colleagues, while demonstrating autonomy,
  • Produce a written text that meets academic standards, summarising and highlighting the strong points of the research work carried out,
  • Present and defend the research work from a scientific point of view.

Content

  • Each student individually chooses a dissertation topic from among the many proposed by the department's various promoters.
  • The dissertation lasts for one academic year.

Teaching methods

Each student is guided in their research apprenticeship by their promoter, or by a supervisor appointed by the promoter. They meet regularly with their promoter to assess the progress of their work. They are also guided through the stages of writing, and preparing the presentation and defence of their work.

Assessment method

  • Manuscript (handed in 10 days before the oral defence)
  • Presentation and oral defence before the jury (at the end of the session)
  • Grading:
    • 50% by the supervisors (promoter, co-promoter, supervisor): text and work delivered
    • 50% by the jury, excluding the supervisor(s): text and oral defence
All details are given in the Vade-Mecum, available from the physics department secretariat.
