Art. 10 – Final test
1. In accordance with the provisions of the Degree Course's teaching regulations, the final exam consists of the presentation of a written paper, possibly in English, produced independently by the student under the guidance of a supervisor, discussed by the student in public and in the presence of a special judging commission. The paper normally concerns the work carried out during the internship. The final exam is always supervised by an academic tutor, and possibly by a company tutor. If the internship is carried out abroad or in an international context, the final exam may be taken in a foreign language, previously agreed upon with the Degree Course Manager. In this case, an extended summary of the paper must also be prepared in Italian.
2. Students who intend to graduate must agree with an academic supervisor on the topic of the thesis, which will be developed, presented and discussed during the final exam. The topic of the thesis may coincide with the work carried out during the internship.
3. The judging commissions for the final exam are appointed by the Director of the Department and are composed of no fewer than 5 and no more than 9 members, including the President.
Art. 11 – Obtaining a Degree
1. The Degree is obtained with the acquisition of 180 CFU, in compliance with the maximum number of exams or final assessments of the expected profit. The student must also have successfully passed the final exam referred to in the previous article.
2. The methods and criteria for the final evaluation must in any case take into account the student's entire career within the Degree Course, the times and methods of acquiring the CFU, previous training activities and the final exam, as well as any relevant element.
3. The final degree grade is expressed in hundredths. The minimum grade to pass the exam is sixty-six/one hundredths. The final grade is a maximum of 9 points out of one hundred and ten, plus a maximum rounding of 0.5 points, consisting of the sum:
a) the weighted average of the exams taken during the academic career or recognized;
b) the increase in grade, also expressed in hundredths, achieved in the final exam and up to a maximum of 7 points.
c) the increase in grade, also expressed in hundredths, attributed to those who graduate on time by the December session, in particular: increase of 2 points for those who graduate on time in the summer session (typically June or July); increase of 1 point for those who graduate in the autumn sessions (typically September and December).
4. It is possible to obtain the Degree even in a shorter time than the normal duration of the Degree Course (three years). It is possible to take the assessments of the training activities of the course year following the one in which you are enrolled only after having passed those of the course year in which you are enrolled and those relating to the previous years.
