The use of the e-learning platform for distance learning is envisaged, essentially for the purpose of integrating the possibilities of real participation of the participants in the course. The lessons, in compliance with the University guidelines, will be held in presence. Students are invited to actively participate in the lessons.

The oral exam will consist of three questions. -
Non-attending students will only be able to take the oral exam. Three questions will be asked during the interview.

At least two months before the graduation session, the member of the faculty acting as supervisor agrees with the student on the provisional title of the dissertation. The student must submit to the administrative office of the Degree course, within the aforementioned deadline, a dedicated form containing the identified provisional title, signed by the supervisor. The type of final dissertation is chosen by the supervisor among the abovementioned three types, following consultation with the student.

The final examination consists of the discussion of the dissertation elaborated in one of the abovementioned types (a), (b) (c). Appropriate guidelines are provided on the course webpage.
The final grade is proposed by the Committee according to a scale from 66 to 110.
A maximum of 10 points are available for the Committee’s evaluation, which is added to the score resulting from the weighted average of the grades of the exams taken by the student in his or her career, related to 110 and rounded up (rounding to the upper point is applied starting from the 0.50 excess over the lower point: e.g.: 100.50=100; 100.51=101).
The 10 available points are awarded as follows:
- 0 to 8 points for the evaluation of the dissertation and discussion thereof;
- 1 point for each of the following bonuses, up to a maximum of 2 additional points, to be added to the score earned under 1), even if it is less than 8:
- the student has ended the career in line with the Course schedule (for this purpose, any period spent abroad under the Erasmus program or other equivalent exchange programs shall not be taken into account in calculating the duration of the Course schedule if the student has earned the credits required to maintain the assigned mobility grant or has carried out research for the dissertation under the aforementioned programs);
- the student has drafted and discussed the dissertation in one of the following foreign languages: French, English, Spanish, German;
- the student has earned at least 3 grades summa cum laude in basic and characterising activities;
- the supervisor certifies that the final dissertation was drafted in connection, by topic or method or data used, with an internship included in the student’s career for at least 6 credits;
- the supervisor certifies that the final dissertation is consistent with one of the characterising learning areas of the Course;
- the student has participated in the Erasmus program, earning the credits required to maintain the awarded mobility grant;
- the supervisor certifies that the final dissertation was drafted in connection, by topic or method or data used, with a dedicated workshop or course on soft skills included in the student’s career.
The student can earn a maximum of 2 additional points, regardless of whether he/she was entitled to multiple bonuses. The student who obtains the highest score (110 out of 110) may, by unanimous consent of the members of the Committee, be awarded a final evaluation summa cum laude.

Students with work obligations
To facilitate the organisation of the study, the attendance to classes, and learning by students who have work obligations, the degree course introduces a number of options in accordance with its professionalising objectives.
The available options are the following
- PANOPTO FOR WORKERS (P4W): service aimed at facilitating and safeguarding teaching continuity for students who have work obligations and cannot attend classes due to incompatibility with the work schedule. This modulation is realised through providing access to dedicated teaching materials, especially video recordings of lectures.
For information on the procedure to request access to the service, please refer to the webpage Panopto for workers.
The service is also offered to students during the period of internship whose arrangements prevent them from attending classes. In this case, the request for access to the service must be submitted by the academic tutor assigned for the internship.
A facilitator tutoring is also available to support the delivery of this service (for further information, please refer to the webpage Tutorato per studentesse e studenti – Giurisprudenza.
- PROJECT WORK: possibility of replacing the internship with the drafting of a project work, through which the operational and organizational issues of a given work or training context are explored in depth, in accordance with the learning-by-doing approach.
For information on the procedure, which requires the appointment of a member of the faculty acting as supervisor and the submission of the request to the Teaching Board for approval, please refer to the webpage Project work.
Dedicated guidelines are available to assist supervisors and students in the preparation of the project, identifying different types of project work (research project; improvement project; development project; compilation project) and providing operational guidance for the drafting of the final report. It is worth specifying that the topic of the final report of the project work should NOT coincide with the topic chosen for the dissertation.
- RECOGNITION OF YEARS WORKED: possibility of requesting the recognition (including a partial recognition) of internship credits (TAF F) against a specified number of years worked, in accordance with the procedure available at this link.
