Specific Regulations of Academic Units
The procedure concerning the regulations of graduate dissertations is available on the USEK website. Students can consult these regulations at the secretariat of the unit they are affiliated to.
For registration, preparation and defense of a graduate dissertation, the student should abide by the regulations defined by the relevant Faculty.
Administrative Procedure
The Master dissertation is worth 6 to 9 credits and can be completed in one or two semesters.
During the first registration for the Master dissertation, the student registers for module 6XX A during a semester and pays the corresponding tuition fees.
After this first registration, the student:
- obtains a numeral grade (grade received upon the dissertation defense);
or
- obtains the grade IP and should register in the following semester for the module 6XX B (while paying only the registration fees).
After the registration for the module 6XX B, the student:
- obtains a numeral grade (grade received upon the dissertation defense);
or
- obtains the grade IP and should register for the module 6XX B, for the last time (while paying only the registration fees).
NB
A student can only register for his/her dissertation for 3 consecutive times in total (6XX A; 6XX B; 6XX B). When he/she exceeds these 3 registrations, the student will be given the grade R and should, in case he/she wishes to reregister, submit a request for exemption to explain the reasons of his/her new registration request for a new dissertation project. The Faculty/Institute Council studies the request of the student, who, in case of a positive response re-registers for the module 6XX A and has to pay the registration fees and tuition fees according to the number of dissertation credits he/she is registered for.
