Progress
In the beginning of the first Master 1 four-months term, the student is given informations
about the various thesis and internship formulas. Between beginning of January and end of
April, the student picks his project-thesis subject, either on his own, or by browsing through
the project portfolio collected by the persons in charge. The portfolio is made publicly
available in February on the LOl@ platform. In March, a speed-meeting between students
and enterprises is organized.
The student then gives his enrollment form to the person in charge of the project-thesis,
before the first tuesday of May.
In May, the Agreeing Commission approves the student choice and assign the staff supposed
to coach the study completion work.
In the beginning of the first Master 2 four-months term (from September to November - 10
weeks), the student performs his internship. He gives back and defends (in the course of the
second 4-months term) an internship-report.
Between end of November and end of December, the student enjoys a period of time intended
for work on the study completion work.
During the second 4-months term, the student deepens the theoritical reflection and writes his
study completion work. He gives it back at the end of the academic year (3rd tuesday of
May).
Supervision
The student is supervised:
by readers: members of the HEC-ULg teaching staff or scientific staff, chosen for their
competence in the subject being dealt with. A reader can be a HEC-ULg outsider: he
belongs either to the academic world, professional world or he is concerned with
chosen subject as a leader or expert and is available. These readers can help and guide
the student.
Assessment
At the end of the year, the student gives back a definitive written report and presents the work
orally in front of a jury composed of a moderator, the supervisor and readers. The enterprise
monitor also takes part to the jury.

uniqueness, critical sense, theoritical basis, relevance of the
recommendations,...

instructions
