The dissertation must demonstrate the author's ability to describe correctly the results of a personal, objective and methodical work.

- carry out a critical analysis and summarise a given scientific topic;
- put the current state of knowledge in context;
- present the results of his work justifying the methodological choices, and explaining his hypotheses.
