The highest point of the didactic itinerary of this Mas- ter of Arts is the Final Degree Project, where the stu- dents have to submit and defend their Thesis in front of a Committee, made up by their professors and Course Leaders.
The Master of Arts’ Thesis takes the form of in-depth research aimed at the completion of a project. The fi- nal document is represented by the presentation of the research and of the project documents, and aims at proving the critical, design and fulfilment competences acquired by each student over the Master of Arts.
The development of the Thesis is something that every student carries out individually and totally self-sufficiently. During the process, each student is supported by at least one Mentor (“Advisor”), who needs to ap- prove the project proposition, guide the student in de- veloping their research and, finally, approve the dissertation of the final Thesis work.
The final dissertation is presented individually. Upon the Course Leader authorization, the research can start as collective work carried out by a group of students, up to 4 participants. For the presentation of the final project, each student will submit their individual development of the work, and the role of each student will have to be defined at the time of approval of the project proposal.
ASSESSMENT
ASSESSMENT
The final assessment of each student at the end of the Master of Arts is the sum of the admission grade to the final project dis- cussion, and of the grade awarded to the presentation of the final Degree Thesis.
The admission grade to the Degree project discussion, expressed in one hundred and tenths (on a 0-110 scale), is calculated as a weighted average of all the grades, in thirtieths (on a 0-30 scale), received by the student over the entire Master of Arts . The weightd average takes into consideration the credits granted by each course. The Degree Committee can award 0 to 10 extra points on top of the admission grade, based on the Thesis quality, and on the overall critical, design and actualisation skills shown by the candidate.
