Final degree test

The final degree test consists of a written piece of work and a presentation, in front of a Commission, of the students research work. It will be partially in the chosen language for the study curriculum in order to demonstrate the adequate possession and ability of applying the linguistic skills provided in the degree programme

Supervisor and Assisting Supervisor

The topic of the final degree test will be agreed upon with the supervisor.

The supervisor and/or assisting supervisor are preferably scholars from the LEISAAM Master’s Degree programme or similar scholars from the Department involved in the MAster’s Degree programme. If the student intends to ask a scholar in a different department from the Department of Asian and North African Studies (DSAAM) to be their supervisor, they must also have a scholar from the DSAAM as an assisting supervisor, with whom the student will discuss the language part of the thesis. Any exceptions at any length must be approved by the programme’s Didactic College.

It is the role of the thesis advisor to communicate the name of the assistant supervisor to the Didactic Sector of the Department of Asian and North African Studies ( lauree.campuslingue@unive.it)
