Internship and final degree exam

The final examination consists of two closely related phases: the completion of an internship and the subsequent drafting of a written thesis summarizing the results achieved.

Internship

The internship can be carried out at a company or a local organization, under the guidance of a supervisor from the host institution (company tutor) and a professor from the University (university tutor/supervisor). The latter will also ensure that the work performed is consistent with the student's educational project. The activity consists of the study and/or development of a project.
Procedures for searching and activating an internship are available at:

On-Campus Educational Activity (AFC)

In specific cases (e.g., innovative activities, projects shared with other developers), it is possible to carry out an On-Campus Educational Activity (AFC). This request is subject to the approval of the Degree Course Coordinator.
In this case, upon completion, the student must submit the "Certificate of Completion of On-Campus Educational Activity (AFC)" form, completed and signed, to the Scientific Campus address (campus.scientifico@unive.it), along with the prior approval email from the Coordinator.

Duration and Credits

The workload is calculated based on the ECTS (CFU) credits specified in your study plan:
1 CFU = 25 hours of activity

Recognition of activity comparable to internship

Subject to the evaluation of the Teaching Committee, several activities can be recognised in place of the curricular internship, such as: skills acquired in work/professional activities or other training activities deemed consistent with the student’s studies.

Written Thesis

The written thesis, prepared under the guidance of the supervisor, contextualizes the study and project activities, summarizing the results and outlining the implications in application and/or research fields.
The thesis must be written in the language of the curriculum or in English:

  • Curricula 'Tecnologie e Scienze dell’Informazione' and 'European Computer Science': Italian or English (at the student's choice).
  • Curriculum 'Data Science': English (starting from the 2024/25 student cohort).

Final Grade

The supervisor can award from 0 to 6 points based on the following criteria:

  • Internship experience: (0-2 points)
  • Quality and complexity of the work performed: (0-2 points)
  • Quality of the written thesis: (0-2 points)

For procedures regarding admission to the final exam, the graduation application, and its evaluation, please refer to the University Regulations.
