Goals

The teaching unit consists of:

  • providing students with the opportunity to have contact with the professional field (internship and Namur Legal Lab),
  •  taking a multidisciplinary approach to the situation studied
  •  writing a written report that thoroughly analyzes a question related to the professional field being approached (memory).

The objective is therefore to implement in a real professional environment the skills acquired as part of the DTIC.

Content

The Teaching Unit is divided into two learning a ctivities, namely:

  1. Thesis with internship:
  • The internship which may consist, for example, in an audit mission of a website dedicated to e-commerce. Other situations proposed for the internship can lead to contact with the medical world, the administration, a telecommunications company, university research centers, the Federal Commission for the protection of privacy, ...
  • The thesis which consists in the in-depth analysis of a legal question encountered during the internship or the Namur Legal Lab.
  1. The Namur Legal Lab:
  • offers the opportunity to provide legal advice to young start-ups wishing to launch a new project related to the new technologies sector under the supervision of professionals.
  • the writing of an opinion allows to acquire the rules of writing specific to this type of document transmitted to customers.


In each of these learning activities, students are asked to approach the realities submitted to their analysis through their enlightened basic discipline of the training received in this specialization master.

Teaching methods

Internship in a company or the public sector, consulting (legal) and drafting of a work of about thirty pages long under the supervision of a teaching team.

Assessment method

The teaching unit (UE) is divided into two learning activities (AA):


AA - 1: Master thesis with internship: (value of the learning activity grade on the overall EU grade: 2/3)


  • Completion of the internship is a sine qua non condition for submitting and defending the thesis. In other words, failure to complete the internship will result in a grade of 0 for the learning activity.
  • Once the internship has been completed, the student is exempt from it from one session to another within the same academic year and from one academic year to another, even if the grade for the learning activity is less than 10.
  • The AA grade is based on two elements:
  • the written work (Master thesis), including compliance with the writing instructions set out in the roadmap given to students at the beginning of the academic year.
  • the oral defense.
  • In order to be able to submit the Master thesis for oral defense during the session at the end of the second quadrimester, the commented plan must have been approved by the supervisor by March 31 at the latest. Otherwise, the thesis cannot be submitted and therefore defended during that session.
  • In order to submit the Master thesis for defense during the session at the end of the third quadrimester, the commented plan must be approved by the supervisor by June 30 at the latest. Otherwise, the Master thesis cannot be submitted and therefore defended at the end of the academic year. As a result, a grade of zero will be given for this AA.


AA - 2: Namur Legal Lab: (value of the learning activity grade in the overall EU grade: 1/3)


  • The assessment focuses on:
  • the quality of the advice given to the start-up;
  • the quality of the services provided during meetings with the start-up;
  • the dynamism and respect for deadlines in the follow-up of the project
  • group management
  • If the student obtains a grade lower than 10 for the learning activity, it’s not remediable for the academic year.
  • If the student obtains a grade greater than or equal to 10 for the learning activity but less than 10 for the EU:
  • The grade is not remediable for the academic year.
  • They are automatically exempted from the successful learning activity from one academic year to the next.
