Each student in the Department of European Political and Governance Studies is required to write a Master’s thesis, an original piece of work between 12,000 and 18,000 words, in French or English.

Each student has to write his/her/their Master’s thesis in the framework of one of his/her/their 4 optional courses. Professors supervise students throughout the year for their Master’s thesis. As the Academic year progresses, students have a series of individual interviews with the professor and the academic assistant. After the thesis is completed, a defence session is held.

Additionally, students will follow a short, compulsory course during the first and second semesters to help them conceptualise their thesis.
