The student secretariat provides the committee with a document stating:

• your weighted average, which relates the grades obtained to the credits earned:
  • you multiply each grade by the credits of the corresponding examination
  .
  • add the products and divide the sum by the total credits obtained
  .
  • the result is multiplied by 110
  .
  • then divide by 30
    . N.B To the weighted average calculated in this way you add 0.5 points for each lode you have obtained.
  .
.
• any extracurricular courses that you have attended and their respective credits: the committee may increase your final grade by a maximum of 1 point if you have undertaken periods of study abroad that are recognised by the degree course and that have resulted in the award of CFUs
.
• the degree grade converted into thirtieths (110 cum laude = 30 cum laude)
.

Thesis Types - Theses and Thematic Insights

The committee may increase the weighted average of marks by a maximum of 7 points:
