Final project

For admission to the graduate examination, you must have completed all the credits required by the educational regulations of your degree program.

The undergraduate examination consists of discussing, before a committee, a thesis on a discipline taught in the department, of which you have taken the examination.

You may choose from the following types:

• 1st type - Thesis and Thematic Insights
• 2nd type - Research Thesis

1st type - Thesis and Thematic Insights

For the degree examination you must:

• submit a written report of about 100.000 characters and dicute it no sooner than 4 months after filing the degree
• have taken two optional exams belonging to the same area as the thesis, at least 20 days before the discussion. Any choice of other electives must be justified and authorized by the thesis advisor

2nd type - Research Thesis

In order to choose a research thesis you will have to have:

• acquired at least 150 CFUs before the title is awarded
• a weighted grade point average of 27/30 or higher

You will have to discuss the thesis, of about 300.000 characters, no sooner than 12 months after filing your title.

You may choose this type of thesis even if you do not meet the requirements but only if you have a grade point average of 26.5/30 or higher. In any case, the request must:

• be justified and authorized by the thesis advisor
• addressed to the graduate council to request an interview to check your aptitude for research

Read the regulations of the accreditation procedure for conducting photographic and/or audiovisual filming activities inside university buildings (effective 06/28/2013).

The student secretary's office provides the committee with a document that shows:

• your weighted average, which relates the grades you earned to the credits you earned:
  • you multiply each grade by the credits of the corresponding exam
  • you add up the products and divide the sum by the total credits earned
  • you multiply the result thus obtained by 110
  • you then divide by 30
    N.B To the weighted average thus calculated you add 0.5 points for each lode you have earned.
• any extracurricular courses that you have taken with the respective credits: the committee may increase by a maximum of 1 point the final grade, in case you have carried out periods of study abroad, recognized by the CdS and which have resulted in the attribution of CFUs
• the graduation grade converted into thirtieths (110 cum laude = 30 cum laude)

Thesis Type - Thesis and Thematic Insights

The committee may increase maximum 7 points the weighted grade point average:

• up to 4 points for thesis
• up to 3 points for thematic insights:
  • 1 point if the grade point average of the two optional exams is 24/30 or less
  • 2 points if it is more than 24/30 and less than 27/30
  • 3 points if it is 27/30 or more

The committee may unanimously grant honors if you have a score of 110/110, only on the condition that the thesis advisor has sent the other members of the committee, at least one week in advance of the graduation session, the text of the thesis in electronic format, indicating the high quality of your work.

The Type of Thesis - Research Thesis

The Graduation Committee:

• may increase not more than 11 points the weighted grade point average
• may unanimously grant honors if you have attained a score of 110/110
