The fourth semester of the Mamaself program is dedicated to the Master thesis.
The Master thesis will be conducted at one of the Universities of the Mamaself consortium (University of Rennes1, University of Montpellier, LMU, TUM, University of Torino) or at Large Scale Facilities (see list page Partner Institutions). European students can also undergo the Master thesis at Non-European partner Institions : USA, BRAZIL, JAPAN, RUSSIA, INDIA, SWITZERLAND (see list and details on page Partner Institutions).
The Master thesis will last about 5 months between March and July. The subjects will be proposed in September and presented during the Mamaself summerschool.
The Master thesis work will be presented by Master 2 students during an annual meeting in May. The students will present their results at a conference bringing together students, professors and invited experts.
See the details about this Mamaself Meeting page "Status Meeting".
