Final Exam

• As a preparation to the final exam the student will start, choosing the most appropriate methods and techniques,  his (her) own independent project of  scientific research and of critical assessment of an advanced topic, so upgrading his/her knowledge of that field as well as the skills acquired during the LM course.
• The final exam of the LM (“laurea”, i.e. graduation exam) course consists in a public presentation and discussion of a thesis aimed at proving the candidate’s acquired capabilities of understanding problems and issues in research and of developing original solutions; the research may be also done within a training stage at other institutions or firms and working on a topic suggested by one or more teachers.
• The selection of the thesis topic and the writing of the thesis will be performed in collaboration with and under the supervision of an advisor chosen by the student: the name of the advisor and the title of the thesis (that has to briefly summarize the topic the thesis deals with) have to be approved, at least one month before the thesis discussion, by the Consiglio del Corso di Studi (CCS). Within the same deadline the Consiglio di Corso di Laurea, on request by the supervisor, has to nominate a referee.
• The thesis shall be the record of an experimental or theoretical scientific research activity, carried on independently by the student and featuring an original or innovative  approach to the topic, compatible with the educational objective of the Master Degree in Physics.
• The thesis must be written and presented in English (abstract in Italian is needed).

  *Il correlatore ha la funzione di affiancare il Relatore durante lo svolgimento della tesi e viene indicato dal Relatore. E’ un esperto, docente universitario e non, italiano o straniero, di provata competenza nell’argomento della tesi prescelta. Il suo nome può comparire sul frontespizio dell’elaborato finale.
