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, either on a pass/fail basis or with a grade depending on the cases, to specify the type of work carried out.
