Degree Examination

Characteristics of the Final Examination

The final examination can take two different and alternative forms, as chosen by the student.
Presentation and discussion with the examining Committe:

• on a topic related to one of the subjects that characterize the student's educational path;
• on a project work closely linked to the internship undertaken by the student and aimed at demonstrating one or more practical applications of the knowledge acquired during the International, European and Comparative Legal Studies (IECoLS) program.

The presentation and discussion will be conducted in English.

Conducting the Final Examination

The student will select from the courses they have taken which one will be the subject of the final examination. They should contact the professor teaching that course well in advance to agree on the focus of the discussion during the degree examination. The subject chosen for the final examination cannot be a subject chosen as further elective activities (13 ECTS). Even if the final examination consists of a project work developed during the internship, the student must contact the professor of the related course they believe is most relevant to the project work's theme.

Once the topic or project work has been decided upon, and no later than thirty days before the start of the degree examination session in which they intend to defend their final work, the student must complete an online degree application from their personal area. The application must specify the chosen topic or project work theme.

The final examination consists of a brief presentation and discussion with the committee on the assigned topic. A written paper is not required. If the candidate is unable to take the final examination, the assigned topic will remain valid for subsequent sessions.
