To graduate, you have to sit a final examination designed to verify that you have reached the education objectives set by the Degree Programme.
The final examination consists of the preparation of a written paper in English and its discussion in English before a Final Examination Commission.
The paper must be multidisciplinary in nature and aimed at demonstrating the student’s ability to critically analyse and integrate the knowledge and skills acquired during the three years of study from an international studies perspective.
The student develops the paper independently, in accordance with the procedures established by the degree programme, and submits the final work through the designated platform.
The Commission, composed of faculty members appointed by the degree programme, evaluates both the written paper and the oral defence, with particular regard to its critical approach, content, and relevance to the educational objectives of the programme.
The final proclamation takes place in a subsequent dedicated session.
