The Master research project (30 ECTS) takes place during the fourth semester. It provides students with the opportunity to work at the frontiers of knowledge in their field.
To reach the objectives, each student is supervised by a project director who agrees to the research theme and is responsible for monitoring the project. The project director may also appoint a “direct supervisor”, usually a member of their research team who is responsible for closely supervising the project and the student. The project director must be a member of the UNIL teaching staff or, with the authorisation of the School of Biology, any person holding a doctorate and who is involved in the teaching.
With the consent of the School of Biology, the work may be carried out at another university or institution. In this case, a co-direction must be set up between a UNIL co-director and an external director. The external director must at least hold a doctorate. The UNIL co-director ensures that UNIL requirements are met.
The Master project leads to a written dissertation which is defended orally in English.
