Graduating
This mark is the result of the sum of the score achieved by the candidate, through the calculation of the weighted average of the exams taken during the degree course, and the mark awarded by the Commission. The Commission can attribute a maximum of 8 points or 7 points cum laude. The awarding of laude is discussed by the members of the Commission if the candidate reaches a score of 110/110 (without having used the full points available, i.e. 8) and several aspects of the student's previous career are considered (e.g. having obtained honors in profit exams), of the internship and of the presentation/discussion; honors are awarded when the Commission unanimously expresses a favorable opinion. For students who have done their thesis work entirely abroad, the Commission may, on the basis of comments received from the foreign head of the laboratory and on the basis of the quality of the work done, award up to 2 additional points.
To be admitted to the final exam, students must do the following:
