MoL Graduation Trajectory
Title: MoL Graduation Trajectory
Programme:
Master of Logic (MoL)
Coordinator:
Maria Aloni
Course description
The goal of the MoL graduation trajectory is to provide 2nd year MoL
students information and extra support in their final year. It includes
a number of information meetings (on MoL graduation
procedure, PhD applications, life after ILLC), some
trainings (how to write a cv/research proposal, how to
write a MoL thesis), and
ILLC research units presentations, 3 sessions where the
ILLC research units present themselves to the graduating students. The
aim of these sessions is to give students an illustration of the topics
ILLC researchers are currently working on and which could lead to open
questions to be addressed in a MSc thesis. The trajectory further
includes two kinds of student presentations:
-
MoL thesis presentations (mandatory for graduating students, where
students present their ongoing thesis project to the ILLC community)
-
January presentations (more informal where students present their
thesis topic to each other)
NOTE: The trajectory is designed for 2nd year MoL students who intend to
graduate in the second semester. But also for students starting their
thesis writing semester in September, who intend to graduate in the
first semester. Students from other cohorts or Logic Year students are
also welcome to attend the sessions (in particular the research units
presentations). Also 2nd year students who intend to take an extra
semester can follow the trajectory this year [advisable for those
components that will come too late for them next year such as the
research seminars, the January presentations, how to write a MoL thesis]
but will have to do their MoL thesis presentation in the next fall.
