Specialist degree work placement concludes second level university education and can also be considered as an important reference for drawing up specialist degree thesis. Work placement usually takes place at research centres or motor vehicle companies and offers the students the possibility to have some business experience that will be very useful once they will enter the world of work. During this experience, students are under the guidance of both a company tutor and a professor belonging to their Course of Study, who was responsible for one module. Work placement subject and seat will be chosen by the students from among those periodically offered by motor vehicle companies and allied industries, research centres, trading associations. Corporate work placement can be replaced with departmental work placement. At the end of this work , whose term is about three months, each student under the guidance of his company tutor and academical referent has to prepare a report which will contribute to grading this formative activity and which will possibly represent a reference for drawing up magistral degree thesis. Preparing and discussing magistral degree thesis is the final stage of second level university education. It gives the student the opportunity both to demonstrate the achieved expertise level and to come into contact with realities able to offer job opportunities. The Specialist degree thesis consists in carrying out either an original technical or scientific study or the study of a project, under the guidance of a Professor belonging to the Course of Study. Drawing up may take place in Italy or abroad, either at university institutions or at companies or research bodies belonging to motor vehicle industry. Regulations for carrying out, discussing and marking of the degree thesis are fixed by the Educatonal Area-Board. The Specialist Degree Commission will evaluate the quality and exposition of the thesis; this evaluation contributes, together with examination marks of all the modules, to determine specialist degree result.
