Learning outcomes

Upon completion of this work, students will be able:

Preclinical Research Module:

 

  • to design an experimental procedure to demonstrate an hypothesis
  • to analyze and interpret results analyser et interpréter les résultats obtenus
  • to write a research mini-article

 

Clinical Research Module:

 

  • to design an experimental / analytical procedure to demonstrate an hypothesis
  • to analyze and interpret results analyser et interpréter les résultats obtenus
  • to write a research mini-article

Goals

The aim of this work is to start the master thesis research project. Students will perform an in-depth and critical analysis of the current literature on the field of interest, will learn techniques that will be used during their master thesis research project, will acquire the first experimental results and will learn to interpret and present them.

Teaching methods

This internship is performed under the promoter of the master thesis research project. The academic coordination is taken on by Professor Gillet for the clinical orientation and by Professor Boonen for the preclinical orientation.

Assessment method

Students will write a mini-article in English. The manuscript, the oral presentation and the defense will be assessed by a jury composed of four researchers.

 

The promoter and the jury will grade the student following these guidelines:

  • Manuscript (/20)
  • Oral presentation and defense (/20)
  • Promoter's grade (/20)

Final grade:  35%-35%-30%, for the manuscript, the oral presentation/defense and the promoter's grade, respectively.

The exact modalities of the evaluation are likely to be modified during the preparation of the examination schedules, depending on the practical constraints with which the faculty administration may be confronted, or in the event of illness / force majeure / encroachment with an internship, or because of the health situation related to the coronavirus.
