This thematic project module is part of the optional Personalised Course block. As a reminder, in this EU, the student’s choice (four modules to choose out of fifteen) is made according to their previous achievements, the timetable and after discussion with the educational staff that validates their choice. This choice is made by students in November, the optional module only starting in December.

Course contents

This module involve a small group of students who will undertake a project the nature of which can vary widely, and whose theme bears relation to that of the general curriculum.

The volume of work is approximately 25 hours, which is divided, depending on the nature of the project, between participative work (lectures, seminars), interviews with resource persons, research and bibliographic analysis, production of documents, files and will always include writing a report that will be assessed.

Examples of thematic projects:

  • Participation in a scientific conference and preparation of a report for the organisers;
  • Organisation of a seminar related to the theme of the curriculum.

This module will take advantage of the many scientific events organised on and around the campus of Montpellier and for which the participation of students are regularly called upon, thereby validating their participation within the framework of the course.
