Final examination: modalities and deadlines

The final examination consists in the production, presentation and public discussion of an original experimental dissertation written in English and based on a topic that is coherent with the programme objectives, under the guidance of a supervising professor. The topic must be linked to the internship activity or the period of the final examination preparation. The dissertation must demonstrate the students' command of the subject, critical skills, ability to work autonomously and strong communication skills.

The Board will assess your performance using your curriculum as a reference. During the dissertation discussion, you may use slides and the Commission may ask you in-depth questions on methods, results and any developments of your work
