The Directed Research allows motivated students to deepen a research topic while acquiring methodological and analytical skills essential to research. Students define their area of interest, then work under the direction of a Research Director, appointed by the Program Director.

Students will meet with their mentor regularly and complete a mémoire – a 25 page research paper.

Students interested in pursuing a Directed Research project MUST submit a one-page proposal to the Program Director, Séverine Martin, no later than December 1, 2025. Students who do not submit a proposal by this date will not be considered for Directed Research.

Please submit your proposal via this form.
