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 by the deadlines of your graduation session. This operation is possible only if you already included your thesis credits in your Annual Personal Study Plan. 
The online thesis application is available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal - Online services section - Degree and Final Examination portlet.  
Your thesis application must contain 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 Politecnico);
  • 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). In this case, your supervisor must inform the Office of Student Services;
  • can be cancelled if you want to change your thesis topic or choose a new supervisor (send a ticket to the Office of Student Services). In this case, you need to check the dates of the next Graduation period and the dealines for your thesis application and for the approval of your thesis topic;  
  • If you are pursuing a double degree you are expected to abide by 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.
If you submit your thesis application after the deadlines illustrated in the thematic calendar, you will be admitted to the Final Examination but your supervisor will have to confirm that you completed your thesis (thesis conclusion confirmation) and you will have to pay a late penalty fee (€ 50.00).
