Thesis
At the end of the First Levele Degree program, students are required to write a thesis under the supervision of a professor. Few days before the official graduation date, students discuss their work in front of a committee made up of professors belonging to areas close to the topic of the theses. On the day of the official graduation, after the final committee decides the grades of the candidates, an official ceremony takes place.
Rules for the final exam (thesis), including grading system [pdf, currently in Italian].
Procedures
In order to start working on their thesis, students can contact one or more professors and agree on a topic.
Student are required to register to a graduation session via UniWeb, meeting the deadline given by the University. Detailed instructions can be found on this webpage of the University [in Italian].
How to read and write a bibliography
The Math library organizes Zoom workshops for students on reading and writing a bibliography and on evaluating the reliability of sources. The workshops can be in English on demand. Please email to the library: biblio@math.unipd.it Visit also this webpage.
Format of the title page
The title page of the thesis should contain the following information (centered on separate lines)
- Università degli Studi di Padova
- Dipartimento di Matematica "Tullio Levi-Civita"
- the name of the Department of the supervisor (only if it is another Department)
- Corso di Laurea in Matematica
- title of the thesis
- name of the supervisor
- matriculation number and name of the student
- official graduation date
Note on "Redazione di un testo scientifico"
Students are required to pass a test called "Redazione di un testo scientifico" ("Writing a scientific text"). After the student completes the application for graduation, this exam is automatically recorded on Uniweb by the professor in charge (the director of the degree program), with no need for the student to make an explicit request.
