As a general rule, the Graduation
Examining Committee can add up to a maximum of 5 points, taking into
consideration:
- evaluation of the Final Project (written
essay);
- number of years it took you to complete
your studies;
- if you attended a degree programme
partially or entirely taught in English;
- other information about the course of
study (for instance, the number of exams passed with honours, experiences
abroad, extracurricular activities etc.).
If the candidate reaches the score of 113/110, the Graduation Examining Committee might decide to confer the degree with final honors -
cum laude (see the Regulations of each degree programme).
If the thesis has got the necessary features, the Graduation Examining Committee might recommend it for publication (
dignità di stampa). This is possible only by unanimous decision of the Committee and only if the final grade is 110 with honors.
