Students of the second year can choose one among the following activities related to their final master thesis project. They consist of 15 CFU. The default option is 'Preparation for the final examination'; the remaining choices require a change in the academic plan to be asked to the Director of the course, Prof. Vignali, after discussion with the thesis supervisor(s). In order to change your study plan, please have a look at this page (in particular, the section called "Choices in the group related to the preparation of the final examination".)
The thesis supervisor should always be a professor of Unibo, while co-supervisors can be selected from other research institutes and universities.
- PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION
This is the 'default' one. Students' master thesis activities will occur within Unibo and do not entail access to laboratories.
- PREPARATION ABROAD FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION
Students master thesis activities will occur in research institutes and universities abroad, under the supervision of a professor of Unibo.
- INTERNSHIP IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION
Students' master thesis activities will occur in research institutes/companies outside Unibo or in Unibo laboratories and will be recognized as internship if they entail practical activities. The supervision of the project will be done by a Unibo professor.
- INTERNSHIP ABROAD IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION
This activity takes place in research institutes/companies abroad and entail practical activities.
As a practical guide:
1. Master theses carried out at Unibo and do not entail practical laboratory activities will fulfill the conditions of PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION, i.e. the 'default' option.
2. Master theses that entail practical laboratory activities both in Unibo laboratories or in external insititues/companies will fulfill the conditions of INTERNSHIP IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION. Students who wish to perform an "Internship" activity for their thesis project can find all the information in Curricular Internship page.
3. Master theses carried out in research institutes and universities abroad will be recognized as either PREPARATION ABROAD FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION or INTERNSHIP ABROAD IN PREPARATION FOR THE FINAL EXAMINATION.
