Final project
What is
For admission to the graduate examination, you must have completed all the credits required by the educational regulations of your degree program.
The dissertation examination involves the discussion, before a committee, of a written paper under the guidance of a thesis advisor and a co-rapporteur.
You may choose from several types of theses:
- a specialized translation from the first or second foreign language into the native language, with a theoretical-methodological commentary and with a presentation of the issues addressed
- a glossary written in the language of specialization and in Italian
- a research paper in the area of theoretical linguistics related to the theory of translation and interpretation.
What to do to graduate
If you are an undergraduate student, you must:
- Choose the degree session
- Deposit the title of your thesis
- Fill out the degree application online
- Fill out the AlmaLaurea questionnaire online
- In case you have books on loan, return them to the library
- Fill out the questionnaire of your degree.
Remember to:
- Check that you are current with payment of fees
- Pay the stamp duty of €16 for the issuance of the Graduate Diploma (payable through the online services-payment of fees and contributions)
- Check that you have taken all exams and educational activities
- Check that they are all marked on your online career.
Non-registration of exams and other educational activities does not prevent online completion and confirmation of documents.
In order to graduate, you will have to check that everything is registered online instead.
If you are enrolled in the 24 CFU Pathway check if you are eligible for the additional semester in order to apply for graduation as a previous academic year, by contacting the Humanities Student One-stop shop.
If you encounter any problems in your career contact the Student Secretariat in the School of Humanities at Via Balbi, 4.
If you decide not to graduate in the current session you must give timely notice to the Student Desk and the Student Secretariat.
N.B. Slippage of your graduation application from one session to another does not occur automatically. You must therefore make a request at the Student Desk.
In case of a graduation application not approved online by the lecturer, you have to transmit via email the paper signed by the lecturer.
Thesis title deposit
If you are an undergraduate student, you must send through email the thesis title filing form with six months in advance of the session chosen for discussion.
The title entered in the form is considered provisional, the final title will be the one entered in the graduation application.

- to the thesis advisor and co-rapporteur a paper volume of the thesis signed by you on the title page

If you want to insert videos from dvds or other within the slides, you must remember that the proper process is as follows:
- Insert a video stored on your personal PC:
- In Normal View click on the slide in which you wish to add the video
- in the Insert Tab click on the arrow under Video and then on Video in PC personal
- In the Insert Video box, select the video you want to embed and then click onInsert
Insert a link to a video stored on your personal PC:
Tip: To avoid problems with broken links, it is advisable to copy used videos to the same folder as the presentation before linking them.
- In Normal View click on the slide in which you want to add the video
- In the Insert tab click on the arrow under Video and then on Video in Personal PC
- In the Insert Video box click on the file to be linked, on the down arrow next to the Insert button and then on Link to file
Video clips with subtitles
The player installed on the Computer is the VLC, which can read most formats thanks to the native Audio and video codecs.
If you want to add subtitles you can perform two procedures:
- Insert the video and subtitles in the same folder and with the same name (e.g. XYZ.avi and XYZ.srt). Opening the movie, the subtitles will synchronize automatically
- Open the video with VLC and drag the subtitle file to the program interface. That way they will synchronize automatically
If the subtitles do not sicronize with the video, go to Tools > Synchronization track from the application menu. From the window that opens you will be able to adjust the advance of the audio relative to the video, that of the subtitles, and their speed.
Photographic/audiovisual filming
Read the regulations of the accreditation procedure for conducting photographic and/or audiovisual filming activities inside university buildings (effective 06/28/2013).
