Notification to the Student Services Centre should be made by writing via the iCatt Request for information form under Lessons, Exams 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 stamp duty and a receipt of payment of the Undergraduate Contribution.

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

BASIC COUNTING

All marks from the profit examinations with marks in thirtieths are added together, including any supernumeraries from the Faculty of Education.

30 cum laude is counted as 32.

For specialistica degrees only, the marks for any educational debts are also added.

The sum thus obtained is divided by the number of examinations considered (average in thirtieths).

The average in thirtieths thus obtained is divided by three and multiplied by eleven, thus obtaining the mark in 110ths

 

 

FINAL EXAMINATION MARK

0 to 10 points.
In the case of top marks and outstanding quality of the dissertation, the Commission may award honours
