The highest point of the didactic itinerary of the Master of Arts in Design - Product and Service Design, is the final Degree Project, where the students 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 final document is constituted by a presentation of the research and of the final project documents, and aims at proving the critical, design and actualisation competences acquired by the student over the course of the Master of Arts.
The development of their 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 (“Relatore”), who needs to approve the project proposition, guide the student in developing 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 in Design - Product and Service Design, is the sum of the admission grade to the final project discussion, and the grade awarded to the presentation of the final Degree Thesis.
The admission grade to the Degree project dissertation, 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 two-year course. The weighted 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.
