Final project

Final examination

Mandatory requirements

To be admitted to the final degree examination, students must have obtained all the CFU (university credits) related to the educational activities in their study plan, except those assigned to the final exam itself.

  • The requirements set by the University are listed on this page, in the session "What to do to graduate". Remember to fill in and confirm your graduation application no later than 30 days before the graduation session.
  • The requirements set by the Degree Program are available on the AulaWeb module dedicated to the final exam, which students must register in advance.

All these requirements are mandatory.

 

What is

The final degree exam consists of the discussion of an activity carried out by the student under the supervision of one or more advisors, at least one of whom must be a member of the Degree Program Board (CCS) and a lecturer of a non-shared course, on a topic related to the study program.

For the propedeutic curriculum, the activity is worth 3 CFU and consists of:
(i) independently carrying out a small project in some of its phases (problem analysis, study and comparison of existing proposed solutions, proposal of a solution, implementation and verification of the proposed solution);
(ii) clearly and effectively presenting the results obtained.

For the technological curriculum, the activity is worth 12 CFU and consists of:
(i) independently carrying out a project in all or some of its various phases (problem analysis, study and comparison of existing proposed solutions, proposal of a solution, implementation and verification of the proposed solution);
(ii) producing a clear and effective report of the results obtained.

The project part of the activity (point (i) above) consists either of an internship at an external organization or of an activity agreed upon with a lecturer, related to a project or an in-depth study of one of the topics covered by the study program. In both cases, 6 CFU will be recorded as final exam credits and 6 CFU as internship credits.

The discussion is a proper examination with questions and evaluation by the committee. It takes place in the period between the submission of the final report and the official graduation ceremony, on a date to be determined based on the availability of the committee members and the number of candidates.

The graduation ceremony may take place on a different day from the discussion, and includes the awarding of the degree and the announcement of the final grade.

What to do to graduate

If you are an undergraduate, you must:

    .
  1. Deposit the title of your thesis
  2. Choose the degree session
  3. .
  4. Fill out the AlmaLaurea questionnaire online
  5. Fill out the degree application online
  6. .
  7. In case you have books on loan, return them to the library
  8. .
  9. Fill out the assessment questionnaire for your degree.
  10. .

Remember:

Evaluation

When did you first enrol in your course of study?

The final grade of the degree takes into account the marks awarded for the final examination and the entire academic curriculum.

The final grade is awarded using the following criteria:

  1. A base mark is calculated, obtained from the average of the marks of the individual examinations, weighted by credits, and excluding the most penalising mark. A grade of 30 cum laude is assessed as 33. Finally, the score is converted into hundredths
    .
  2. .
  3. To this basic score is added the evaluation score for the final test:
    • .
    • for the professional pathway, where the final examination is worth 12 CFUs, the maximum increase is 6 points
    • .
    • for the methodology pathway, where the final examination is worth 3 CFUs, the maximum increase is 3 points
      .
  4. For the methodology pathway there is a "speed bonus" for those who graduate within three years (part-time enrolment years are valued at 0.5, and the sum is rounded off). The increment is equal to:
    • 4 points if you graduate before the start of classes for the Master of Science in Computer Science degree
    • .
    • 3 points if you graduate by October
    • 2 points if you graduate by December
  5. If the mark achieved is greater than or equal to 111/110, the graduation committee may award honours.

    • for the methodological/professional pathway, where the final examination is worth 3 CFU, the maximum increase is 3 points
  3. For the methodological/professional pathway, there is a "speed bonus" for those who graduate within three years. The increase is equal to:
    • 4 points if you graduate by September
    • 3 points if you graduate by October
    • 2 points if you graduate by December
    In the event of transfer from another course of study, the increase may be normalised on the basis of the number of CFUs recognised at the time of approval of the transfer application and the expected duration of the course of study, attributed at the time of the evaluation of your previous career.
  4. If the score achieved is greater than or equal to 111/110, the graduation committee may grant honors.
