Economics and Law

Students intending to graduate must:

1. choose a topic, checking the requirements
2. submit the application for admission to the final examination, verifying the curricular/temporal requirements
3. deliver the final paper in the prescribed manner..

In order to obtain approval for the topic of the final dissertation, students must first have followed the procedure for the assignment of a course/professor set up by the Thesis Committee. The rules and procedures for both options are detailed in the Faculty Guide and on your iCatt personal page under INFO THESIS.

For the degree programmes in Business Administration and Management for sustainability, students may choose to produce an internship report instead of the final paper. In such a case, they do not have to follow the assignment procedure laid down by the Thesis Committee.

To obtain approval of the topic, students must:

• request permission from the supervisor - by email.
• fill in the thesis topic approval form
• delivered by email to within the deadline indicated in the calendar:
  • the form completed and signed by the student
  • professor's authorisation email

Email for the Piacenza campus: gestione.carriera.studenti-pc@unicatt.it

Email for the Cremona campus: uff.segreteria-cr@unicatt.it

The topic must be entered on the iCatt personal page (Online secretariat - final examination)

In order to submit the thesis topic approval form, the submission deadline must be met: at least three months before the session. Details in the calendar.

Please refer to the Faculty Guide for further details on the final examination.

For the degree programme in Business Administration, students may choose to produce a final paper or an internship report.

For the degree programme in Banking and Business Law and Economics, students are required to adopt the 'Final Paper' mode.

Please refer to the Faculty Guide for further details on writing the final paper.

In order to apply for admission to the final examination, you must comply with:

• submission deadline: at least 45 days before the session. Details in the calendar

• curricular requirements for the summer session: no more than 35 ECTS in debt (foreign language exams and the final exam are not included in the count)

• curricular requirements for all other sessions: no more than 20 ECTS in debt (foreign language exams and the final exam are not included in the count)

Students must agree with the supervisor on the definitive title in order to proceed with the application for admission to the final examination.

Proceed with the submission of the Application by following the steps:

1. Fill in the graduation application on your iCatt personal page (Online Secretariat - Final Examination section);
2. Print the graduation application form, sign it and apply the €16 revenue stamp
3. Ask your professor for permission by e-mail
4. Print and pay the undergraduate contribution slip
5. Upload the following documents respecting the format indicated:
   • Copy of signed and stamped graduation application form (format .pdf, max 2MB)
   • Copy of the bulletin payment receipt (format .pdf, max 2MB)
   • Copy of the authorisation email sent by the professor or copy of the application if signed by the professor (format .jpg, max 2MB)
6. Wait for notification

Any changes to the title of the final paper, approved by the professor, must be made at the time the application is completed and printed. The title contained must therefore be definitive, as no further changes can be accepted.

The .pdf file of the paper must be sent to the professor via the personal page iCatt (Online secretariat - Final paper - Submit final paper). The professor may request a hard copy if necessary.

Delivery of the final examination - Instructions for undergraduates

The paper must be uploaded to the iCatt personal page no later than 10 days before the start date of the proclamation sessions (see calendar).

The deadline for uploading the paper is not to be missed

Undergraduate students who fail to graduate in the call for which they have applied for admission to the final examination must notify both the professor/supervisor and the Student Services Centre of the relevant seat.
Notification to the Student Services Centre should be made by writing via the iCatt Information Request form under Lessons, Examinations and Final Examination - Final Examination.

For a subsequent graduation session, a new application for admission to the final examination must be submitted with a €16 revenue stamp and a receipt of payment of the Undergraduate Contribution.

Graduating students will receive the convocation exclusively via their iCatt personal page approximately 10 days before the scheduled graduation date (Online Secretariat - Final Examination section).

For students enrolled in the a.y. 2013/14 onwards

The following criteria are applied for the calculation of the final degree mark:

BASIC COUNTING (EXCLUDING STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMME)	All grades of the profit examinations are added together multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (30 cum laude is counted as 31). Grades for the "Theology", Language, Computer Science examinations and Internship are excluded from the count. The course English for International Business contributes to the graduation average. Supernumerary courses contribute to the average. The sum is divided by the total weight in ECTS credits of the subjects considered (average in thirtieths). The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3.
BASIC COUNTING (STUDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAMME)	Students who attended their third year at foreign partner universities: Italian average: all the marks of the profit examinations taken at UCSC are added together and multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (30 cum laude is counted as 31). Grades for the "Theology", Language, Computer Science examinations and Internship are excluded from the count. The course English for International Business contributes to the graduation average. Supernumerary courses contribute to the average. The sum is divided by the total weight in CFUs of the subjects considered (average in thirtieths). The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3. Foreign average: average communicated by the foreign partner according to the conversion tables defined before departure. The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing by 3. General average: 2/3 Italian media + 1/3 foreign media. Students who attended their third year at UCSC: Italian average: all the marks of the profit examinations taken at UCSC are added together and multiplied by the number of ECTS credits of each examination (30 cum laude is counted as 31). Grades for the "Theology", Language, Computer Science examinations and Internship are excluded from the count. The course English for International Business contributes to the graduation average. Supernumerary courses contribute to the average. The sum is divided by the total weight in ECTS credits of the subjects considered (average in thirtieths). The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing it by 3. Foreign average: average communicated by the foreign partner according to the conversion tables defined before departure. The average in thirtieths thus obtained is converted into 110ths by multiplying the value obtained by 11 and dividing by 3. General average: 2/3 foreign media + 1/3 Italian media.
FINAL TEST MARK	0 to 4 points
THEOLOGIES BONUS	For an average between 30 cum laude and 28: 1 point if 3 examinations are taken; 0.66 points if 2 examinations are taken; 0.33 points if 1 examination is taken. For students enrolled in the a.y. 2019/20 (at the discretion of the Degree Committee): 1.5 point if the average mark is 30 CUM LAUDE; 1 point if the average mark is: 30 to 29; 0.5 points if the average mark is 28 to 26; 0 points if the average mark is 25 to 18.
SPEED BONUS	3 points if the degree is obtained by December of the third year; 2 points if achieved by February of the third year; 1 point if it is achieved by April of the third year; 0 points if achieved later.

 

Students who matriculated before the a.y. 2013/14 can go to the Student Services Centre to check how the graduation average is calculated.
