Thesis application and approval of the thesis topic
The general topic of your  thesis is stated in your thesis application. 
Before you start writing your thesis (even if you carry out your thesis project abroad, at a private company or at another university) you must submit your online thesis application. This operation is possible only if your thesis credits have been included in your Annual Personal Study Plan. 
Your thesis application contains the following information:
  • your thesis topic (approved by your Politecnico supervisor);
  • the name of your Politecnico supervisor;
  • the name of your co-supervisor, if any (he/she can be a person who does not pertain to the University);
  • information on any external institution involved (for thesis projects at private companies).
Your supervisor may accept or reject your thesis application and you will be informed by e-mail. 
Your thesis application (after being approved by your  supervisor):
  • determines the first Graduation period in which you are allowed to graduate. Your thesis application does not lose its validity. This means it can be used also for graduation periods which follow the one for which the application has been submitted;
  • can be modified (you can change your thesis topic, add a co-supervisor or external institution);
  • can be revoked if you want to change your thesis topic or supervisor (send a ticket to the Office of Student Services).
 If you are pursuing a double degree you are expected to adhere to the rules agreed between Politecnico di Torino and its partner university on the identification of your supervisor, thesis composition, presentation and oral defence. The deadlines you have to meet are those established by Politecnico di Torino.
