The tutor (internship) or the supervisor (for thesis) should fill out the end-of-activity document and email it to the Coordinator and the head of the Internship and Master's Thesis Committee of the course of study at least 20 days in advance of the date of the graduation examination.

This document must be completed in consultation between the internal and external supervisor in case the activity took place at an external institution.

N.B.The student responsible person who has carried out activities at an external institution is strongly encouraged to fill out the related questionnaire.

Once the Internship or Other Activities is registered, the student can make the application for graduation.
