Final examination: modalities and deadlines

To graduate, you have to take a final examination designed to verify that you have reached the education objectives set by the Degree Programme.

The final examination consists in writing a dissertation on a subject pertinent to your studies, elaborated in an original way, under the guidance of a supervisor. The dissertation will be discussed publicly during a specific final examination session in front of a Board.
The Board will assess your performance using your curriculum as a reference. During the dissertation discussion, you may use slides and the Board may ask you in-depth questions on methods, results and any developments of your work.

Admission Requirements

In order to graduate, you must have:

• sat all the exams in your study plan and had them recorded;
