Learning unit contents

The thesis should present as clearly as possible the following elements:


  • defining a topic and an initial question, which should be understood as defining types of information on which the analysis depends;
  • formulating a problem starting from a review of the issue being considered and fitting within a theoretical framework. Using a theoretical framework presumes using concepts which are desirable for giving an ad hoc definition or referring to the work and publications of other authors;
  • using a method depends on the specificity of the topic to be dealt with or the conceptual frame of reference;
  • stating one or more hypotheses for which a demonstration will be required to validate or invalidate the relevance;
  • analysing the material and presenting the results which the student considers having reached in concluding his work and the possible extensions and outlooks.

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The thesis is the work showing the student's capacity, on finishing the master's in employment sciences, to successfully perform rigorous personal research. Rather than reproducing knowledge transmitted by the instructors, the student will be expected to produce new knowledge on a limited subject using the knowledge, competencies and methods acquired during the studies.

A thesis is not admissible if the student has not submitted the file by the deadlines provided.
