Thesis/Final examination

The practical evaluation test of the acquired professional skills consists of an oral test during which the candidates will have to solve one or more practical problems consistent with those analyzed during the internship "shared profession apprenticeship" and is aimed at ascertaining the level of technical preparation of the candidate for the qualification to practice the profession.

Upon passing the PET, the student obtains a suitability assessment that does not contribute to determining the degree grade.

The PET suitability assessment must be obtained at least 15 days before the final exam, and is a necessary condition for accessing it.

Admission

To be admitted to the PET, the student must have obtained, within 15 days of the date set for the test, all the CFUs related to all the activities included in the programme of study with the exception of those related to the final examination.

Registration for the PET is mandatory and must be done exclusively online using this form within 15 days of the date set for its performance. Failure to comply with this deadline precludes any possibility of participating.

If, due to supervening and justified impediments, the student is unable to take the PET on the chosen date, he/she undertakes to promptly notify the email address didattica.farmacia@unipr.it.

Confirmation of your registration for the PET can be verified in the list of participants that will be published within 10 days of the test itself on the page Calendar of graduation sessions and deadlines.

Calendar and evaluation committee

The Course Council annually approves the PET calendar, which is published on the page Calendar of graduation sessions and deadlines.

The PET evaluation committee has a joint composition and is made up of four members, half of whom are designated by the Course Council from among the professors in charge of characterizing courses of the Degree Course, and the other half are designated by the National College of Agricultural Experts and Graduate Agricultural Experts based on the provisions of Art. 3 of the "Regulations for carrying out the practical evaluation test".
The function of President of the commission is carried out by one of the academic members of the commission itself.

The final test will be carried out by the student independently and involves the illustration and discussion, before the Degree Committee, of an individual study on a specific theme chosen and carried out by the student in a given subject area and must include the performance of a practical test assessing the professional skills acquired through the internship within the study courses, aimed at ascertaining the candidate's level of technical preparation for the licence to practise the profession. To this end, the Degree Committee will be supplemented by experienced professionals designated by the national representatives of the relevant professional body or college.
Having ascertained the candidate's level of autonomy and mastery of specific methodologies, the Committee awards the final mark, which will be expressed in one hundred and tenths.

The final test consists of the preparation of a written scientific paper on a specific topic covered in the training activities of the Degree Course or on topics covered during the internship, and its subsequent public discussion before the Degree committee.

To this end, the Degree committee may be integrated by professionals with proven experience designated by the national representatives of the relevant professional order or college.

During the final exam, students must demonstrate that they have acquired the ability to search for information and data, organize them, critically evaluate, summarize and present.
