Browse Programs Admission InformationThis Master in “Literature AND Civilization” offers one form of personal research work: standardization of curriculum at term of which a written dissertation is foreseen.
The study program is organized in terms of courses taken in charge by a lecturer and TD sessions meant for individual student work. The latter involves either the oral presentation of an assigned or chosen topic in relation with the course in question, the writing of a short research paper or book report/review (6-8 double spaced pages), or a fully investigated term paper (20-25 double spaced pages). In the different cases, the students are closely monitored by the teaching staff, both collectively and individually.
The second year is a crucial year which necessitates further tutoring as the student is required to accomplish a research project of some significant length. Already, in the third semester, the student chooses a research supervisor; together, they discuss eventual topics of interest to the student and in relation with the general framework of his curriculum. By the end of the semester, the student should have a proposal ready at hand.
The fourth semester is fully dedicated to dissertation writing. Meetings with supervisors will be held on a regular base and the student will be fully monitored throughout the full process of writing. By the end of the semester, the student should have completed his/her Master dissertation—to be defended then before a “Jury”.
