Final Exam

To be admitted to the final exam (corresponding to 12 ECTS), the student must have passed all the curricular exams and all the credits required for the master's degree except those intended for the final exam.

The compulsory final exam includes a written dissertation (possibly also in English) prepared in an original way by the student under the guidance of a supervisor.

The final exam is discussed in a public session: the score awarded will take into account the different typology of the contribution and the skills shown by the candidate during the public presentation.

The exam score will be calculated on 110 tenths with the possible assignment of honors.

See section THESIS SCORE

The score assigned to the final exam will take into account the different type of contribution and the skills shown by the candidate during the public presentation.

The exam score will be calculated on 110 tenths with the possible assignment of honors (the starting average for the attribution of the score, used in the graduation session is the weighted one).

The final exam will be awarded a score from 0 to 8, according to the following criteria:

• up to 3 points for a descriptive final exam;
• up to 8 points for the final exam with originality.

The following additional points can be attributed to the master's degree thesis (maximum 2):

• 1 point for internship and / or project work aimed at the degree thesis. It is the teacher who has followed the experience who has to declare the relevance of the experience for the thesis
• 1 point for participation in an Erasmus, Erasmus Plus, Atlante, Erasmus Placement project or comparable mobility programs as well as double-degree courses
• 1 point for an international co-supervisor
• 1 point for those who have obtained a three-year or V.O. (Vecchio Ordinamento) degree, with a score from 100 to 104
• 2 points for those who have graduated, three years or V.O. (Vecchio Ordinamento), with a score from 105 to 110

In any case, the additional points cannot exceed two and the maximum score obtainable for a master's thesis is 10 points (8 points plus 2 additional points)

Students who intend to graduate must take two courses in  Risorse e servizi delle biblioteche Unife (Resources and Services of the Unife libraries) and Citazioni Bibliografiche (Bibliographic Citations) (both compulsory) organized by the University Library System (SBA - Sistema Bibliotecario di Ateneo).

Verification of the attendance of the aforementioned courses will be carried out by the supervisor, who will ask the student, upon assigning the thesis, to deliver a copy of the digital certificate of participation in the aforementioned SBA courses at the same time.
