Timeline for online process of choosing a dissertation topic and supervisor for student enrolled in 2022/23:
from 15 February 2024: the thesis proposals will be available here;
from 1 March 2024: the thesis proposals will be eligible.

Students who have “completed” at least 80 CFU can start the online process of choosing a dissertation topic. Credits are “completed” when the activity has been passed, there is a positive mark published on Uniweb (even if not yet recorded in the booklet), which the student has no intention of refusing. If the mark used to obtain the minimum 80 credits is then rejected, the requirements will fall and the procedure will be automatically cancelled.

Choice of topics: Students have to choose in preference order one to three topics of interest. Chosen topics can be from the same or different supervisors. Each request has to be accompanied by a brief motivation.  Students can (but are not obliged) to contact potential supervisors before choosing the topics to discuss with them. Once the student’s choices are confirmed, the system will notify the supervisor responsible for the first ranked topic. The chosen supervisor within a maximum of 15 days must confirm or refuse (indicating why) the match with the student. The system will send an email to the student with the outcome of the process. In case the first match is refused, the system will automatically send an email to the supervisor of the second ranked topic. The process is similar if also the second choice is refused. If all three choices of the student are refused, then the student must start the process from the beginning and rank one to three new topics.   

The matching between the student and supervisor is confirmed only when the supervisor agrees to supervise a topic given the above described process. 

There is no deadline for completing the thesis.
