Allocation of points for students with a Programme of Study prior to the academic year. 2017/2018 - degree courses closed to new candidates
The awarding of points depends on the type of thesis performed and other factors.
Students with a Programme of Study prior to the academic year. 2017/2018 or enrolled in degree courses closed to new candidates must consider that:
For a 'Curricular Thesis' (dissertation addressing a circumscribed topic and accompanied by a critical review of the literature and Law on the subject), the mark, proposed by the supervisor to the Degree Examination Committee, may not exceed three points, which are added to the arithmetic mean of the profit examinations taken by the undergraduate.
For a 'Research Thesis' (a dissertation requiring a thorough and exhaustive treatment, expressing good independent work and critical reflection skills) the mark, proposed by the supervisor to the Degree Examination Committee, may not exceed seven points, which are added to the arithmetic mean of the profit examinations taken by the graduate student.
The Student registry office makes the arithmetic mean evident on the report forwarded to the Degree Examination Committee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous paragraph, and only where the candidate's dissertation meets the requirements of substance and form, as well as being supported by a satisfactory discussion during the Degree examination, the dissertation may be awarded eight points: a) in the event that the student presents himself/herself for the Degree examination with a mark, determined on the basis of the arithmetic average of the examinations previously taken, excluding any additional point referred to in the following paragraph, of 102/110 and, therefore, the awarding of eight points is justified for the purpose of obtaining the final mark of 110/110 (without declaration of honours); b) if the student presents a mark of 91/110, determined on the basis of the arithmetic mean of the exams previously taken, excluding any additional point referred to in the following paragraph, and, therefore, the award of eight points is justified for the purposes of obtaining the final mark of 99/110.
Having verified compliance with the conditions set out in the preceding paragraph, the Degree Committee may approve, by a majority vote of its Members, the possible award of eight points, requested, at the time of the Degree examination, by the Thesis supervisor. In the event of a tie, the vote of the President of the Commission prevails. Approval or non-approval of the application shall be noted in writing in the Graduation Minutes.
A student graduating in Law within the fifth year will be awarded one point to be added to the final grade.
The Student registry office makes it clear on the report submitted to the Degree Examination Committee that the student will graduate within the fifth academic year.
