2019-2020 - Master and PhD Thesis Proposals

2018-2019 - Master Thesis Proposals

Dans le cadre du Cycle Ouvrez l'Oeil, La Direction de l'Orientation et de l'Insertion Professionnelle propose, du 09 novembre au 30 novembre, 3 semaines pour un stage. (flyer)

• LJK
• TIMC-IMAG
• GIPSA-Lab
• CEA LETI and CEA LIST

1. Choose a subject area that YOU are interested in.
2. Contact the project advisor you want to work with.
3. Agree on a subject
4. Contact the heads in MSIAM M2 to request approval for the project.
5. Project approval requires that you complete a form to be signed by the project advisor and Student.
   • When approved by the master heads, contact your registar to request a contract.
6. All projects must be validated by a CONTRACT between one of the Universities (UJF or INPG) and the Laboratory.
   • Students who are registered at UGA, should request the contract from the UFR-IMAG registar office.
   • Students who are registered at INPG, should request the contract from the registar office.
7. All projects MUST be uploaded to the MSIAM project web pages. The pages are used to plan project defences and oversee projects.
8. Complete installation process at the laboratory where you will work. (Desk, computer account, email, badge, etc.)
9. You cannot finish your internship after you obtained your degree. No internship can last more than 6 months, nor less than 14 weeks.

• Students with a Persyval fellowship must have their internship within one of the Persyval labs, see https://persyval-lab.org/en/research#partners
• 3rd-year Ensimag students' internships should last 20 weeks or more.

In the Masters Research project, the student is expected to

• clearly articulate and analyze a research problem
• situate the problem within the state of the art of one or more scientific domains
• propose an original solution, and
• present an evaluation or validation of the solution or explain how the solution can be evaluated or validated.

These results are reported in a Masters Research Project report (also called a Masters Thesis) and defended in an oral project defence. If successfully completed with a grade above 12, the Masters scientific research project demonstrates “Research Aptitude” and meets the formal requirements for admission to a Doctoral program.

The MSc thesis will be evaluated by:

• Your advisor
• The defence committee (responsible of MSIAM, possibly your tutor and an external expert)

The details of the evaluation criteria are given in the document “MSc thesis evaluation procedure”. We strongly recommend you to read this document.

• Grid for supervisors (pdf) | Grid for supervisors (docx)

• Grid for defence (pdf) | Grid for defence (docx) (for information)

Master Research Project report should be

• well structured as a scientific report
• expressed in a clear, understandable manner

20 is a minimal requirement, there is no maximal volume requirement, but 30 pages (plus eventual appendices) is a good average

Oral presentation should

• be clear, well structured
