DEADLINES
GUIDELINES
Your thesis is the last learning activity of your Master’s educational path. It is worth a certain number of credits (CFU) which is illustrated in the Teaching Regulations of every degree programme
The Final Examination consists in the public oral defence of your thesis. Your thesis has to include your original contribution and you must write it under the guidance of a Supervisor. You can write it in a language other than Italian, individually or in groups, as provided for by the University Teaching Regulations. When a thesis is written by more than one person, the contribution of every single author must be declared so that it can be easily identified.  

All candidates are required to read the following sections:

  • COPYRIGHT AND INDUSTRIAL AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
  • COMPLIANCE WITH ANTI-PLAGIARISM RULES
The Master’s Final Examination consists in the public oral defence of a thesis under the supervision of one or more faculty members (they do not necessarily need to pertain to your degree programme). Your thesis needs to prove that you have acquired specific competencies. Thesis composition rules and evaluation criteria are established by the Collegio of the degree programme. You can choose your thesis Supervisor (from Politecnico di Torino) and decide your thesis topic with him/her. You are required to submit your thesis application online ( Thesis TAB) before the deadlines illustrated in the thematic calendar in the section "Graduation periods".
