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 thesis developed in an original way by the student under the guidance of a supervisor. The final exam is always supervised by an academic tutor, and possibly by a company tutor. In the event that the internship is carried out abroad or in an international context, the final exam can be taken in a foreign language, previously agreed upon with the Degree Course Coordinator. In this case, an extended summary of the thesis 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.
4. The CFU assigned by the educational system to the final exam are divided into CFU for the preparation of the thesis and CFU for the dissertation limited to the activities carried out abroad within the Erasmus program.
Art. 11 – Obtaining the Master's Degree
1. The Master's Degree is obtained with the acquisition of 120 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 grade of the master's degree is expressed in hundredths. The minimum grade to pass the exam is sixty-six/hundredths. The final grade is made up of the sum:
a) the weighted average of the exams taken during the academic career or recognized;
b) the increase/decrease in grade, also expressed in hundredths, achieved in the final exam and up to a maximum of 7.5 points including rounding;
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 Master's Degree even in a shorter time than the normal duration of the Degree Course (two years). If you are enrolled in the first year of the course, you can take the assessments of the second year's training activities only after having passed those of the first year.
