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 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.
Submit your application to graduation on Studenti Online by paying a 32,00 € fee.
Late applications must pay an extra fee of 100,00 €.
You need a specific application for each session you apply for. Namely, if you postpone your graduation in the next session, you must submit your application and pay fees once again.

The student administrative office (Segreteria) will double check your application and contact you in case you need to change something before the final exam.
Every academic year foresees a graduation session with different graduation periods ("appelli"). For every graduation period, there are specific deadlines to be respected for the presentation of the graduation application, the requirement fulfillment and for the dates of the defense of the final dissertation.

Students who are graduating in March 2026 cannot change the study plan submitted in the AY 2024/25.
To graduate, you must propose a dissertation subject to a teacher within your Degree Programme, who will assess the validity of your proposal in relation to your study plan. You will have to prove to be able to put together and summarize a bibliography on the subject and re-elaborate it based on the required editorial rules.
Basic editorial rules to write a dissertation:
The Board will assess the candidate's overall performance – dissertation, curriculum, time taken to complete their studies, transfers from another University or another programme – applying specific rules for each Degree Programme.
The Board expresses its assessment with a grade out of one hundred and ten. The exam is deemed to be passed with a minimum grade of 66/110 and a maximum grade of 110/110. In the case of granting a maximum grade, the Board may also grant honours (lode) by unanimous decision.
See the information on how to calculate the average score based on your study programme
The criteria to assess dissertations are:
Additionally, Boards evaluate dissertations as follows:
a) adequate: 1point ;
b) good: 2-3 points;
c) excellent: 4 points.
Exceptions (0 or 5 points) can be defined by the Committee on the proposal by Supervisor and co-supervisor.
For further information on the matriculation of the previous years, see the website page.
The Final Examination Board, having taken into consideration the dissertation discussion and your curriculum, will decide the final grade, which will be proclaimed after the discussion (or published on the last day of the Graduation Session on Studenti Online).
