Start and conclusion of Master’s thesis activities
Selecting a supervisor.
During the second year of his/her Master’s degree, and at least 6 months before the start of the graduation session in which he/she intends to participate, each student must:
- personally contact individual lecturers to identify possible topics for their thesis;
- identify the topic of greatest interest for him/her among the available options and express his/her interest to the lecturer who proposed it; the lecturer then becomes a student’s thesis supervisor ;
- fill in the Form to begin Master's Thesis activities, have it signed by the supervisor and e-mail it to the Co-ordinator of the Degree Programme, who will reply to confirm acknowledgement and keep the form.
The date of submission specified on the form must be the same (neither earlier nor later) as the date of beginning of the activities. The form must be completed even if the activities are carried out at a company . The thesis activities cannot begin until the President has signed the form.
If thesis activities are carried out abroad in the framework of an official student mobility programme (e.g. Erasmus+), the student must follow a specific procedure in order to start his/her thesis, without prejudice to the validity of all the other information on this page.
Possible thesis activities
Master’s thesis activities must be “ experimental ”, including not only instrumental laboratory activities, but also design, modelling and computer simulation activities. The content must be original and not related, in whole or in part, to that of one’s Bachelor’s thesis. Only “compilation” activities are excluded.
Organising, filing and archiving the thesis
Before taking the final examination, the “Master’s Degree Thesis” must be completed. The thesis must be written in English, according to the following criteria in terms of content organisation and layout :
- Guidelines for the thesis preparation
The Master's thesis must be submitted exclusively in digital format , by uploading it in UNIWEB within 3 days before its defense
![](http://sektorel.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
Final discussion of the thesis
The final defense of the thesis will be carried out by using a PowerPoint or PDF presentation , which must be uploaded to the STEM-DII e-learning platform by 12:00 noon on the day prior to the defense . Unless otherwise specified, the duration of the presentation will be 10/12 minutes and the presentation will be followed by some questions from the Graduation Committee.
Before commencing his/her presentation, each candidate must make a few bound hard copies of their thesis available for inspection by the Committee. The copies will then be collected by the candidate at the end of the proclamation ceremony.
A final graduation grade is awarded in accordance with the procedures approved by the Faculty of Engineering Council on 25 March 2010 .
A proclamation ceremony will take place approximately every 4 candidates.
It is recommended that you strictly observe the procedures and deadlines for the submission of your thesis and final presentation. Failure to follow the procedure and respect the deadlines will create issues and cause delays in the Graduation Committee’s work , potentially even resulting in the candidate being unable to graduate .
