As part of their final exam, students may choose to carry out practical and research activities within companies/institutions external to Unibo, or within Unibo laboratories. Such preparatory activities may be registered in students’ records to specify the type of work carried out., either on a pass/fail basis or with a grade, depending on the cases. Students may therefore choose to carry out their final exam only (Group A) or the final exam + an activity, to be chosen among: internship for the preparation of the final thesis, internship for the preparation abroad of the final thesis, or preparation abroad of the final thesis (Group B).
