1. At an organisational level :

  • By reviewing the TFE procedures;
  • By guiding the students in the organisation of their work throughout the year;
  • By explaining in detail how the Matheo submission platform works.
2. At the various stages of the TFE process:

  • By guiding the students in the launch of their TFE (how to choose a subject, set up a jury, etc.);
  • By presenting tools designed to facilitate the completion of the TFE and reinforce its scientific rigour, such as the logbook;
  • By guiding the students in writing their TFE;
  • By guiding the students in preparing their oral defence.
3. At a reflective level:

  • By encouraging students to reflect on the ethical dimensions of social sciences research (how to comply with the RGPD when writing their TFE, how to avoid plagiarism and referencing errors, how to make proper use of artificial intelligence, etc.);

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course

The seminar is aimed at students in the 60 ECTS Master's programme in Labour Studies who plan to submit their TFE during the current academic year.
It consists of several sessions given throughout the year, during which various elements essential to the completion of the TFE will be addressed. However, the seminar in no way replaces the personalised support that each student must receive from his/her promoter.
