Thesis/Final examination

The research activity in preparation for the final examination consists of an laboratory experimental research with presentation of a final written dissertation. The Master's Thesis will normally be on a scientific topic within one of the disciplines of the course. The research will be conducted under the supervision of a faculty member who will ensure scientific relevance. For the purpose of preparing the Master's thesis, the student may spend periods of research in laboratories of other scientific institutions, including foreign ones.

The final examination consists of the discussion of the thesis in front of a Degree Committee, composed of the supervisor and possible co-supervisors, and other professors and scholars of the subject. The Commission collegially evaluates the ability to expose and understand the issues related to the presentation and awards a maximum score of 8 points that are added to the basic grade expressed in one hundred and tenths determined by the arithmetic average of the student's career grades. The final grade for the degree examination proposed by the committee is unchallengeable.

In the evaluation of the final examination, the commission, with the unanimous consent of the commissioners, shall award "honorable mention" to students who have distinguished themselves for the exceptional nature of the curriculum, that is, having obtained the degree within the normal duration of the course with a base score of not less than 109/110, having obtained 8 points for the thesis and a graduation grade with honors.
