Information below refer to the 2023 Final exam regulation ('Regolamento prova finale'), effective from May, 2024.


The final exam consists of the defense in front of a commission of a Thesis written under the guidance of a supervisor from the University of Trento.
The choice of topic and supervisor is made preferably by the end of the 1st semester of the 2nd year.

The thesis must be written and defended in English.
The work must address topics of the Master's Degree course, of a theoretical or practical nature, and must present original insights. It may relate to specific projects carried out during an internship or other training experience, including periods abroad under mobility agreements.

The final exam commission evaluates:

  • proficiency in economic, legal, political, sociological and historical research methods
  • autonomy
  • critical and analytical skills
  • ability to present the work and to explain its content, also using multimedia tools.

The number of credits for the final examination is established in the study course's didactic regulation. Procedure, composition of the committees and computation of the degree grade are ruled by the Final examination regulation.
