DESCRIPTION Le séminaire permettra de préparer et d’accompagner les étudiants dans leurs travaux de maîtrise (mastère 1). Les étudiants soumettront leurs travaux en cours et seront orientés vers des travaux complémentaires afin d’approfondir les axes principaux des activités de recherche et d’en préciser la problématique. Le séminaire se propose ainsi d’être un laboratoire de recherches au sein duquel les étudiants pourront exposer leurs travaux dans le but de satisfaire aux exigences du travail de mémoire de maîtrise (mastère 1). Le contenu du séminaire variera en fonction des étudiants inscrits.

The seminar will prepare and support students in the redaction of their MA dissertation. Students will submit their work in progress and will be directed towards further work to deepen the main areas of research they are investigating and to clarify their subject of study. The seminar will thus be a research laboratory in which students can present their work in order to meet the requirements of an MA dissertation.

Learning Outcomes:

- The student will be exposed to the knowledge that prepares him for the special field of his dissertation;
