Learning unit contents
The thesis should present as clearly as possible the following elements:
- defining a topic and an initial question, which should be understood as defining types of information on which the analysis depends;
- formulating a problem starting from a review of the issue being considered and fitting within a theoretical framework. Using a theoretical framework presumes using concepts which are desirable for giving an ad hoc definition or referring to the work and publications of other authors;
- using a method depends on the specificity of the topic to be dealt with or the conceptual frame of reference;
- stating one or more hypotheses for which a demonstration will be required to validate or invalidate the relevance;
- analysing the material and presenting the results which the student considers having reached in concluding his work and the possible extensions and outlooks.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The thesis is the work showing the student's capacity, on finishing the master's in employment sciences, to successfully perform rigorous personal research. Rather than reproducing knowledge transmitted by the instructors, the student will be expected to produce new knowledge on a limited subject using the knowledge, competencies and methods acquired during the studies.

Additional information:
The thesis is assessed by a jury of at least three members, comprising the promoter (who must be a member of the institute of human and social sciences - Institut des Sciences Humaines et Sociales) and two readers. It is validated for 16 ECTS, which is equivalent to 30% of the overall grade for the year.
The student will thus be assessed, depending on the topic and methods he or she has chosen, on his/her capacity to:
- provide a clear explanation of a problem (clear and relevant question) and hypotheses;
- carry out bibliographic and literature research ;
- collect relevant information on his or her topic using an appropriate methodology (interviews, "focus group", observation, literature research, etc.);
- structure the information gathered in a line of argument that confirms or rebuts the hypotheses and draw conclusions therefrom.

Organisational remarks and main changes to the course
A thesis file must be submitted to the Faculty's main secretariat every new academic year for approval of the subject and of the jury by the Faculty Council and this even for a student who is retaking a year and for whom the subject and the jury have previously been approved. A thesis is not admissible if the student has not submitted the file by the deadlines provided.
