The Dissertation Project
This programme includes a final exam to be taken through the presentation of an experimental dissertation developed in an original way by the student under the guidance of a supervisor.
The development of the dissertation project and the preparation of the final dissertation are very important phases because, in addition to completing the student's training in terms of applying a correct scientific methodology to a specific topic, they help him to improve his level of operational autonomy and provide further elements of orientation for subsequent work choices.
The dissertation project is often carried out as part of active research projects at the Departments of our Faculty, also in collaboration with companies.
The project can also be carried out entirely or partially at national and international companies and research centers.
