Final project

The final examination consists of discussing, before a committee, a short written report on a physics topic that you have dealt with during your studies.

The paper must be about 3,000 words and you will be able to choose the topic about 7 weeks before your planned graduation date from a list of titles that will be proposed to you.

The aim of the final examination is to test your ability to present a basic physics topic with clarity, mastery, autonomy and in a critical manner.

During the discussion, at graduation, you will be able to use IT tools to better explain your work.

If you are an undergraduate, you must:

1. Choose the degree session
2. Deposit the title of your thesis
3. Fill out the degree application online
4. Fill out the AlmaLaurea questionnaire online
5. Return the books to the library, if you’ve borrowed any

In order to formulate the degree grade, it is defined as:

• basic average grade: arithmetic mean in hundredths, weighted with CFUs, of the grades of all the educational activities in the Study Plan;
• cleaned average grade: arithmetic mean in hundredths, weighted with the CFUs, of the grades of all the formative activities in the Study Plan, eliminating from the sum the 30 CFUs relative to the lowest grades;
• speed award:.
  • 4 pointsfor those graduating by the November call of the third year;
  • 2 pointsfor those graduating by 31 March of the fourth year;
• final examination grade: up to a maximum of 6 points.

The graduation grade, expressed in hundredths of a second, is calculated by summing the average cleared grade, the speed bonus, and the final test grade. Those obtaining a mark greater than or equal to 111 are awarded honours. 

In the event that the grade obtained by adding the Speed Prize to the cleared average grade exceeds the basic average grade by 6 points, this increase is set at 6 points.
