Thesis Defence and Diplomas
The student must defend her/his thesis in the presence of committee of at least five members, among whom the supervisor (Italian keyword: “relatore”) and the member assigned to this thesis (Italian keyword: “controrelatore”). The student can use Powerpoint slides. The defence lasts approximately 25 minutes and is followed by the President of the commision communication the final grade of the degree and declaring its completion.
For details on the calculation of the final grade consult the dedicated page "Thesis Defence Regulations".

In the calendar, the student can also consult the exam committee member(s) assigned to her/his thesis (Italian keyword: “controrelatore”). Students must send to this assigned committee member a .pdf copy of their thesis via email as soon as the calendars are known.
Students are kindly requested to return borrowed books to The Ca’ Borin Library [Biblioteca di Geografia, Scienze Economiche e Aziendali, Emeroteca 'Ca' Borin'](located Via del Santo, 22). Books must be returned prior to the thesis defence.
