Presentation
The research seminar is constituted as a scientific work being the culmination of all the theoretical learning for the development of the dissertation. Thus, the master's students should outline the final project, knowing how to define the object, conceptual framework, population to cover, research location, methodology to be followed and its justification. The theoretical dimension developed and the practical exercises in class, as well as those requested in the final work are essential elements for theoretical and practical research.
