WORKSHOPS – OTHER EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES
The internship may be replaced by workshops and/or other educational activities, including those proposed by the student, provided that they are approved in advance and subsequently validated and formally recorded by the Chair of the Degree Programme, also upon proposal by individual academic staff members affiliated with the Programme.
Such activities may also form part of individual or collective pathways and initiatives agreed upon within the Degree Programme, including those related to University research centres, even at an interdepartmental level, or carried out in collaboration with other scientific and academic institutions recognised at national and/or international level.
Graduate
After completing the compulsory traineeship, students finalize their academic pathway under the supervision of a designated faculty advisor by preparing a synthetic report, which will be presented and discussed during the final examination.
The final examination is intended to assess students’ communicative skills and the achievement of the learning outcomes established by the Degree Programme. It may consist of one of the following:
- the presentation and discussion of a specific in-depth analysis of the activities carried out during the traineeship;
- the presentation and discussion of an individually developed thesis, structured as an analytical study — potentially including theoretical and critical perspectives — of specific disciplinary contents of the Degree Programme, with reference to one or more courses within the curriculum;
- the presentation and discussion of a focused in-depth study related to activities undertaken במסגרת workshops organized by the Faculty.
The final thesis is a key part of the academic journey, offering students the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired during their studies, explore a specific topic of interest, and develop critical, analytical, or design-related skills. Students can choose among different types of thesis projects, depending on their academic focus and personal inclinations.
THESIS RELATED TO INTERNSHIP ACTIVITIES
A thesis aimed at the critical analysis and reinterpretation of the experiences gained within a professional or corporate context.
DESIGN THESIS
A thesis focused on the development of an applied design project consistent with the disciplinary content of the Degree Programme.
COMPILATIVE THESIS
A thesis based on the systematic, comparative, and critical analysis of relevant scientific and technical literature.
EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCH THESIS
A thesis focused on original research activities, experimentation, and analysis of results.
The Degree Programme provides the document "GRADUATE", which systematically collects all the information needed to complete the degree, from administrative procedures to the guidelines for writing and presenting the final thesis.
Tutoring
The Course Tutor is a support figure designed to assist students throughout their university studies. The tutor provides guidance in organizing study activities, navigating the degree program, understanding the curriculum, and addressing any difficulties related to teaching or to the overall university experience. The course tutors are:
ORIENTATION AND TUTORING
