Thesis/Final examination | Computer science

On this page you will find all the information about the final examination and the awarding of marks and bonuses.

Characteristics of the final examination

The final examination, to which 6 ECTS credits are awarded, consists of the drafting and presentation of a written paper, prepared under the guidance of a supervisor. This paper reports on individual work carried out by the student within the university or at an external company or organisation.

The topic of the final dissertation is assigned at the student's request by a lecturer of the CCSU (Council of Unified Study Courses) of the First-cycle course in Informatics and the Second-cycle Informatics degree courses, who acts as supervisor, at least two months before the scheduled date of the graduation session.

On the recommendation of the rapporteur, another University teaching staff member or a contact person at the company or external body where the work is carried out is allowed to act as rapporteur.
The final paper may be written in Italian or English. In the latter case, the title page must include, in this order, the title in Italian and the title in English; an abstract of the paper in Italian must also be provided.

Conduct of the final examination

The president of the degree committee appoints sub-committees consisting of at least two members of the degree committee and, if necessary, CCSU lecturers of the First-cycle degree course in Informatics and the Second-cycle degree course in Informatics or experts in the field.

The graduation examination consists of a presentation of the final paper (approx. 15 minutes) in the presence of a sub-committee, followed by a discussion of the work done.

The presentation will take place between 2 and 7 days before the graduation call, according to a schedule that will be communicated to graduating students well in advance.
The President of the subcommittee proposes the final examination mark to the degree committee.
The assessment of the candidate by the degree committee, expressed in hundredths with possible honours, is made taking into account the results of the entire university career, including the final examination.
A proclamation ceremony is planned for the day of the graduation roll call.
