GRADUATION FINAL EXAM
Students who have acquired all the credits required by the Manifesto of Studies are eligible for the final examination, with the exception of those relating to the preparation and discussion of the final test. The final exam consists in the presentation and discussion of the thesis, developed in an original way by the student and under the guidance of a supervisor. This work has a premise in the four laboratories of the first and second year, where multidisciplinary didactic contributions are composed.
The final exam takes place with the presentation to the Commission of boards on themes relating to the project at an architectural, urban, territorial or landscape scale and supported by scientific research and critical interpretations fed by disciplines dealing with the training of an architect.
The thesis has individual character. For particularly complex and/or experimental thesis topics, group elaboration is permitted, as long as the individual contribution is always recognizable.
The thesis is written in English. Upon a motivated request from the graduating student, a thesis written in other languages may also be accepted. Even in this case the presentation and discussion have to take place in English. The thesis has to include an abstract in Italian of 4000-6000 characters.
Each graduating candidate has to draft minimum 4 - maximum 6 boards in A1 size. If the thesis has been developed by a group of students, it is possible to extend this limit to maximum 12 boards.

1. a maximum of 6 boards in jpg format, 72dpi resolution. Each board has to be 1Mb maximum. If the thesis has been developed by a group of students, the maximum number of the boards to be submitted is in any case equal to 6;
2. two abstracts, one in Italian and one in English, concerning the thesis work which she/he has carried out. If the thesis has been developed by a group of students, only one abstract has to be written. The length of the abstracts has to be 4000-6000 characters each one. The abstracts have to include all the essential data concerning the thesis, which are: title of the thesis, name/names of the graduating candidate/candidates, name of the supervisor, name/names of any co-supervisor/co-supervisors, academic year.
COMMISSIONS FOR THE EVALUATION OF THE FINAL EXAM
The commissions for the evaluation of the final exam are appointed by the Rector or, upon his delegation, by the Director of the Department and are made up of at least 7 (seven) members, chosen among tenured professors and researchers. At least 4 members of the Commission have to be tenured professors.
The commission for the evaluation of the final exam expresses its vote out of one hundred and ten, considering the curriculum studiorum and the thesis work for which the maximum admissible evaluation is 8 points. The commission may grant, unanimously and on the proposal of a non-rapporteur commissioner, honors to the candidate who achieves maximum marks, with reference to both the curriculum studiorum and the thesis work. The minimum mark for passing the final exam is sixty-six/one hundred and tenths.
SUPERVISORS
Each professor holding an official teaching that is provided by the Manifesto of Studies of the Master’s Degree Course can be the supervisor of a degree thesis.
Co-supervisors, even external to DiARC, are provided to support specific skills required by the thesis topic.
Each supervisor professor can present a “degree offer”.
Any other form of identification of the topics of the thesis is left to the free relationship between professors and graduands, without prejudice to the need to specify, during the presentation, nature and reasons for “disciplinary study” of the work carried out.
