Learning objectives
The graduation in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technology requires for the presentation and public discussion of a paper that presents original experimental results from research activities carried out on a subject related to the curriculum disciplines, under the guidance of a supervisor.
Prerequisites
To begin activities related to the thesis work the student must have acquired at least 180 credits.
The procedure for submitting the application for admission to take the degree exam is exclusively online (https://www.unipr.it/didattica/info-amministrative/domanda-di-laurea). The documentation must be delivered to the Organizational Unit Careers and Services to Students of the degree courses of Agro-food and Pharmaceutical address within the term of 30 days from the date of the graduation session.

Course unit content
The final exam consists in the elaboration and discussion of an experimental thesis carried out in an original way by the student under the guidance of a professor belonging to the Food and Drug Department or to other Departments but with a teaching assignment in one of the study courses hinged in the Food and Drug Department that acts as a supervisor.
Full programme
The experimental work connected to the thesis can be carried out, as well as in the Departments of supervisors, in other University Structures or in public or private companies, Italian or foreign, according to rules established by the Department Council in compliance with the University Regulations. In the case of theses held in other structures /companies mentioned above, the student must apply for authorization to the President of the degree course in PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMISTRY and TECHNOLOGY and the researchers of these structures /companies will act as additional supervisors.

Teaching methods
The student must contact directly the supervisor and give him the "Entry Form in Thesis" duly completed and signed. At the end of the experimental thesis work, the student will have to make available to the Examining Board a copy of the thesis which will be summarized through an oral presentation (about 10 minutes) with the use of computer support.
Assessment methods and criteria
The Examining Board after having approved the thesis will proceed with the assignment of the vote on a 110 basis. The following elements contribute to determining the degree valutation: unweighted average of the exams (if greater/egual than 100/110 an additional point is assigned), quality of the thesis, presentation and discussion of the thesis, evaluation of the student's career (if regular student an additional point is assigned), possible involvement in international exchange programs (if student has acquired at least 9 CFU abroad an additional point is assigned) as well as participation in the TECO project (TEst on the generalist Italian undergraduates promoted by ANVUR) (an additional point is assigned). If the candidate obtains the highest valutation (110/110), the honors can be awarded with the unanimous opinion of the Commission.
