Students are assigned a superviser to oversee their dissertation. A co-supervisor may be chosen if the subject of the dissertation necessitates it or at the request of the student or supervisor. The dissertation committee is made up of the supervisor, a reader, and a second reader in the event of a disagreement between the supervisor and first reader.
The evaluation of the dissertation is based on :
- the achievement of the objectives
- the ability to present a relevant and well documented summary
- significant personal input by the student as well as the ability to justify the methodological choices
- the coherence and completeness of the work
- the quality and relevance of the written and illustrated work.
The student must write his masters dissertation in one of the two languages in his programme and add a summary in French. The MA thesis of students enroled in two MA programs, one of which is the Master in Modern Languages and Literatures: German, Dutch, and English, must meet the usual requirements (see above) as well as the guidelines mentioned in the vade mecum. The supervisor of the second MA dissertation may, however, approve some modifications depending on the subject of the first MA thesis. Such modifications are at his/her entire discretion.
