Graduating

Final Exam

The student identifies a faculty advisor, determines the title of the exam, and identifies the course to which the chosen topic is related.

The Final Exam consists of the following phases.

1. Academic Activity

The student is required to complete an academic activity consistent with the objectives of the degree program. This activity may consist of one of the following options:

• In-depth study of a subject: exploration of a topic within a course, under the supervision of an advisor;
• Internship or work placement: participation in an experience at companies or public or private entities outside the University. The university tutor may also serve as the advisor;
• Project-based activities: participation in activities promoted by the University or carried out in collaboration with external organizations. The internal tutor may also serve as the advisor.

2. Final Report

The activity carried out must be documented in a final report:

• the report is generally written; in the case of graphic designs or prototypes, a descriptive report is still required;
• it may be written in Italian or English;
• the maximum length is 30 pages or two A0-sized panels/posters.

3. Final Exam Discussion

The final exam consists of:

• an oral presentation of the content of the project carried out and documented in the report;
• a critical discussion with the Evaluation Committee specifically appointed

4. Requirements for Admission to the Final Exam

A student may take the final exam if they still need to earn:

• the 3 CFU for the final exam;
