What is

The undergraduate examination consists of the discussion of a research thesis prepared under the guidance of a faculty advisor and subjected to critical examination by a co-rapporteur.

The final examination involves the composition of a written paper, which must consist of an in-depth study of a scientific research topic consistent with the candidate's background and the aims of the degree program. The candidate must demonstrate mastery of critical and methodological tools, familiarity with the bibliography related to the subject matter, depth of analysis, argumentative ability, mature expressive ability, as well as aptitude for philological-linguistic and literary, or historical research related to the classical world. 

To be admitted to the final examination, you must have passed the examinations of all the subjects included in your syllabus and obtained the credits related to the other educational activities stipulated by the regulations.

If you are a final-year undergraduate, you must submit the thesis title registration form at least six months in advance of the session chosen for the defence.

Completing the questionnaires for the teaching evaluation is an important tool for identifying any critical issues and weaknesses in degree programmes.

If you are a regularly enrolled student, you can complete the annual teaching evaluation questionnaire for your degree programme at the end of each academic year.

Please note: The annual evaluation is not available to students who are behind in their studies.

You may only submit your application for a degree once you have completed the annual teaching evaluation questionnaire (unless the deadlines have passed: in which case there will be no delay).
