Final examination: modalities and deadlines

The final examination consists in writing a dissertation on a topic consistent with your studies. Your dissertation need to be authentic. A supervisor, i.e. a professor you will choose, will guide you in writing it. 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 discussion, you may use slides and the Commission may ask you in-depth questions on methods, results and any developments of your work.
