Content

Each student individually chooses a dissertation topic from among the many proposed by the different research teams in cellular and molecular biology and biochemistry at UNamur. Each thesis is therefore unique, but all of them include a bibliographical analysis of the subject and an experimental part.

Assessment method

The assessment is based on a written document of maximum 60 pages and an oral presentation of the work. Both forms of synthesis can be done in French or in English, at the student's discretion. The written document consists of several parts (cfr vade mecum dissertation). The oral presentation, of 15 minutes maximum, is followed by a question and answer session in interaction with the 4 members of the jury. A grid containing the criteria according to which the members of the jury evaluating the oral will evaluate the written document is provided.
