Characteristics of the final examination
An original research thesis is required for a Second-cycle Degree in Physics. This must develop topics relevant to the educational objectives of the course of study within the student's chosen pathway.
The research activity must be carried out at the University of Parma or in qualified research laboratories outside the University, Italian or foreign, but in any case under the supervision of a supervisor from within the University.
It can also be carried out through an internship in private companies or contracted facilities, always under the guidance of the university supervisor.
All University Professors teaching academic disciplines considered as characterising or related teaching areas in the Second-cycle Degree Course in Physics may be thesis supervisors.
