Common use of Master’s Thesis Clause in Contracts

Master’s Thesis. For the Master's thesis within the Double Master’s Degree Programme, each student has two supervisors, one from the home university and the other one from the host university. The Master's thesis is written and is defended in English. The research topic is proposed to the student by the two supervisors and validated by both partner universities. The Master's thesis defence (colloquium) takes place at the home or host university, after positive reports of two referees, one from the home and the other from the host university. The thesis defence is held according to the rules of the partner university where it takes place. The supervisor and, if requested, other members of the other university are invited to attend the defence, possibly by videoconference. At both, the home and the host university, a score for the Master’s thesis including the colloquium is given by the local rules of each partner university taking into account the two referee reports. If accepted by the other university, the score given by the defence university is converted to the other university score according to the grading conversion chart (Annexe 1).
