The final examination consists in writing a dissertation on a subject pertinent to your studies, elaborated in an original way, under the guidance of a supervisor.
The documents produced for the final examination must be the result of the personal contribution of the candidate. In order to comply with copyright provisions and to avoid plagiarism, all the sources used for the thesis work must be documented and correctly cited.
The dissertation will be discussed publicly during a specific final examination session in front of a Board. The Board will assess your performance using your curriculum as a reference. During the dissertation discussion, you may use slides and the Commission may ask you in-depth questions on methods, results and any developments of your work
