You may begin the thesis once you have acquired 50 CFU (justified exceptions may be considered for students who have already acquired at least 44 CFU according to the unquestionable judgement of the Curricular Requirements Committee) in your study plan.

Pre-graduate seminars

A pre-graduation seminar day will be established, possibly unique for all candidates in the same graduation session. Pre-graduate seminars will normally be held one week before the date of graduation. The presentation will be in Italian or English at the student's choice. The session is normally public, but if the experimental work is of a confidential nature it may be held in camera, at the request of the supervisor, with a confidentiality agreement signed by the commissioners. Candidates will have:
30 minutes for the presentation of the thesis;
20-30 minutes for the discussion.

At least 11 days before the degree examination, the candidate must upload (without confirming) their thesis in "in compilation" mode on the online services portal.

Please read the final examination regulations carefully for more information.
