Graduation

The degree is awarded the acquisition of at least 120 credits (CFU), in compliance with the maximum number of exams or final evaluations (for more information see article 4, paragraph 2 of the Regulation of the Degree Course)

Students must also have successfully passed the final exam. The final graduation grade is given out of 110 points and is the sum of

• a) the weighted average (MP) of the grades v(i) of the examinations referred to in Article 4.1 and Article 11.2, weighted with the relative credits c(i); and then transferred out of 110 points, according to the following formula MP = ( ∑(i)v(i)c(i) / ∑(i)c(i) ) 110/30;
• b) the grade increase/decrease, also expressed out of 110 points, achieved in the final exam;
• c) any increase in grade linked to the career award
• d) any increase in grade linked to each grade with honors (cum laude)

(For details see Calculation of the Master's Degree grade) 

Regole per l'attribuzione del voto di laurea 

When the student’s performance is considered outstanding, a "laude" (honors) can be added by the commission.

The criteria for determining the grade increases/decreases mentioned in points b) and c) are decided by the Department on the proposal of the Study Course Council (CCLA).

It is also possible to be awarded the degree in less time than the normal duration of the course of study (two years).
