The Master's degree is awarded after passing a final exam, which consists in defending a written report (the Master's thesis) on a work activity developed by the candidate, under the guidance of a supervisor, and possibly of other co-supervisors, of an innovative nature, and concerning aspects of analysis and/or synthesis associated with topics relevant to the learning outcomes of the Master's degree program.
The final exam aims to verify the candidate's level of learning of the technical and scientific contents, her/his ability to work independently, and her/his level of organisation, communication and innovation in the analysis and synthesis of complex projects. The activities carried out during the preparation of the thesis work may be performed in the University's laboratories and in companies or research bodies in Italy and abroad.
