Bachelor's degree thesis

What is

To be admitted to the final examination, you must have regularly attended the educational activities and earned the credits required by the regulations.

The final exam consists of the presentation of a paper in front of a committee.

Guided by a lecturer, you will have to demonstrate your ability to delve into a specific topic from among those covered in your course of study or deal with the experience of your formative internship.

You will be able to write your paper, in addition to Italian, in a European Union language chosen from among those in your course of study.

You will have to do your paper under the supervision of a lecturer in the Department of Education or an external lecturer who teaches in the L-24 (formerly L-34) Bachelor of Science in Psychological Science and Techniques (formerly L-34) and/or the Master of Science in Psychology (class LM-51).

You will need to start preparing your paper at least five months before the date of submission of the paper to the lecturer, which must be at least one month before the graduation session.

Admission to the final examination is, however, linked:

  • to the application for the lecturer's assignment
  • to the filing of the title

.

Of these 6 points:

  • 1 point is awarded ex officio if you are a current graduate
  • 1 point is awarded ex officio if you have at least 3 exams in your curriculum passed with top marks and honors
  • 1 additional point can be awarded if you have at least 6 exams in your curriculum passed with top marks and honors
  • the remaining 3 points are available to the committee, which awards them based on the evaluation of the paper

If you spent a period of study abroad under the Erasmus program, you will also be awarded in the calculation of your graduation grade:

  • 1 point if you have finished your studies within the first year out of the program, provided that during Erasmus you have earned at least 12 CFUs
  • 2 points if you have finished the study abroad program in progress, provided that during Erasmus you have earned at least 12 CFUs
