The preparation of the dissertation includes two activities: a research practical activity plus a proper preparation/writing of the thesis for the dissertation.
The work must be dedicated to advanced educational activities focused on scientific research or technological advancements. These activities are to be conducted within a department or research laboratory of the University of Bologna.
The student undertakes an experimental, computational, and/or theoretical exploration within a cutting-edge scientific field. This work involves the advanced application of investigation methodologies specific to the chosen curriculum, resulting in a deepening of expertise within the specialized sector.
The preparation of the dissertation usually lasts 3/4 months, corresponding to at least 450 hours of activities (18 credits). Before starting the activities, the student submits the form: “Request of the thesis project to the Council” at least 6 months before the expected date of the defence. If the student has to change the research project, or its objectives, he/she has to submit an updated request. Forms are available in the right box in this webpage. Filled forms must be submitted to Segreteria Didattica, Via Sant’Alberto 163 (campusravenna.ambientemare@unibo.it).
The preparation of the final thesis will include also the 18 CFU of the 94533 Final Examination.
Students can prepare their final thesis in one of the 4 modalities indicated below, but it is fundamental they have understood the exact meaning and properly selected the activity in their study plan:
The preparation of the final examination is devoted to activities of higher formation, in the field of scientific research or technological advances, to be carried out in a Department/research laboratory of the University of Bologna, or in other research facilities in Italy.
The preparation of the final examination abroad is devoted to activities of higher formation, in the field of scientific research or technological advances, to be carried out of Italy.
Through this work placement abroad, the student acquires data and carries out activities related to the preparation of the final examination. He/she develops skills of judgement and evaluation and acquires knowledge in the use and management of specific software or hardware tools related to the work covered by the final examination.
