Travail de fin d'études (2025)

Hello,

I'm translating a CV, and I'm stuck with this TFE thing, I know it's a "travail de fin d'études", but I can't find an equivalent in English. I've serched on proz, on the grand dico terminologique, and basically with google, but still, I'm stuck! Can anyone help me please?

Many thanks!

I don't think so - in the US, a thesis is usually for a Master's degree. We don't usually have to do any of these for a normal (bachelor's) degree, although some bachelor degree programs require a final/capstone project.

There is overlap between the terms, nevertheless.

Hello everyone,

how should i say "mon travail de fin d'études" (meaning the job that completes your formation/studies)

Thanks

actually it's really a job (paid etc...) and i need to express the idea of "end of studies"
something like "final work....blablabla..."

anything closer ?

Or could i say " i'm completing my studies as a....' ?

I was a little quick in writing my response. In the US, a student in their final year of, say, finance, will often seek a "paid internship" at a bank or some such to complete their studies. Not only are they paid, but they also receive academic credit for working. The internship sometimes -- even often -- leads to a permanent position in the company.

Does this capture the sense?

Sorry, I didn't see your previous posting -- I took too long writing my own!

Sure, there's an expression. But, is your emploi de fin d'études temporary, permanent, etc. CDD/CDI are the terms right? That might help clarify the sense before I jump into an expression.

ah....

my studies (will) culminate in a paid internship lasting for... 6 months/1 year ... for which I will receive academic credit toward my degree.

Does that work?

Hello

I try to translate the word " Travail de fin d'étude " in English but I don't find a correct translation in British English :-(

Could you help me please?

Thank you

Hi !

It means "completing your studies"

final year of studies would be the correct translation I think.

Thank you for your reply, but how can I translate It in English? I know what does It mean, but I can't translate It in English, I saw on the Wordreference Dissertation, but It's for a Master, I'm in Bachelor...

Thank you very much

My BA was 25 years ago so this might have changed but it required a dissertation so I think that you may use that.

Alternatively end of course assignment could be used.

Thesis => mémoire

It's usually what completes a master degree

Hello everybody! (even a long time after...)

Regularly encountering the problem of translating "travail de fin d'études" to English, I've searched quite a few times. To sum it all up, I came to the following categorization:

- Final project for a bachelor's degree (more practical);
- Dissertation for a master's degree (normal degree);
- Thesis for doctoral degree.

I also found "work graduation" and would rather say "graduation work". But even there, it's sounds to me like something related to the graduation ceremony, so I'll stick to the 3 above.
