The final project is the high point of the entire three-year programme.
The exam consists of a written part, where students analyse, with a critical and/or reflexive approach, a complex topic agreed upon with a supervising professor.
In order to develop the theoretical part, students must carry out attentive research, not only bibliographical, and contextualise their opinions with suitable arguments. The final project also includes a project that depends on the kind of study course and that, through the discipline’s own design method, reflects the complexity of thoughts and ideas expressed in the written part. The relation between the two components and the kind of research and project are largely based on the decisions and dispositions of the students, who will agree upon all practical ad conceptual aspects with their supervisor.
Each study course contains general advice about the kind of work that should be undertaken. Throughout the Academy, specific norms are enforced that the students should be familiar with.
