If the preparatory/supplementary activity is included as a share/part of a course , with the recording of the course mark, the associated part must also be registered in the academic record in order to graduate.

Calendar of Degree Examinations and deadlines for registration

Check the academic calendar , the deadlines section and your School or Campus’ website.

How to register

Attention: It is not possible to proceed with filling out the application if all the sections of the Curriculum Vitae intended for Career Service are not properly filled out.

Through Online Services access the "Registration to final exam" function (which is only active for students who are eligible to graduate in the current academic year) and proceed as follows:

• fill out the degree application
• fill out the questionnaire on the educational course’s assessment (anonymously and intended for the Ministry)
• 6 2.00 €  if this is the first time you have registered for the graduation day
• 16.00 € if you have registered for previous dates but failed to graduate WARNING: For students who are not up to date with their payments, the amounts due will be added to the above-mentioned amounts; the resulting amount is to be paid by the deadline set for the graduation application

It is not necessary to wait for the recording of the exams to make the payment, which is due even in the case of withdrawal from the graduation date. If not paid, the amount due will be added to the next payment application.

After registration

If you have duly completed the registration process, there may be some tasks that you have to fulfil yourself or others that are the Secretariats’ responsibility. The most common fulfilments for which it is not necessary to contact the Registrar’s Office are:

• payment of graduation fees, which are due by the deadline set for the registration for the chosen graduation date
• payment of registration fees, issued together with graduation fees (if due), which are due by the the deadline set for the registration for the chosen graduation date
• unconfirmed qualification: the Registrar’s Office autonomously makes the necessary requests and reminders
• new attendances in the second semester: registration is blocked for this session. The tasks will be deemed automatically fulfilled after the second-semester exams of the previous year are properly recorded in the academic career

Contact the Registrar’s Office if:

• you have entered the graduation exam as a new second-semester attendance for the current year but are graduating in the first semester

All checks in the Registrar’s Office can be carried out up to three to four working days before the graduation exam.

Within the application used to register for the graduation date (item 'Iscrizione/Ritiro esame finale') you may:

• check if your registration is confirmed. When all possible tasks are fulfilled, the application status will change from 'Presentata' to 'Confermata'
• withdraw your registration for the graduation date. In this case, the system warns twice that you are withdrawing and that you can no longer register for the same session

Delivery of dissertations and graduation essays

Laurea triennale (equivalent to bachelor of science).

The online submission of the Graduation Essay is not provided to students of the School of  Design . A submission may be provided to students of the Schools of Engineering and for the students enrolled into the CCS of Building and Construction Engineering  and Architectural Design  of the AUIC School, depending on the procedures specified for each single CCS: for further details please refer to the websites of the AUIC School for the CCS of Building and Construction Engineering and Architectural Design, and of the Departments or Campuses  for the other Engineering Schools. The Building and Construction Engineering course of the AUIC School follows all the Engineering CCS' rules.  

Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science)

The online delivery of the dissertation is always required for students in the Laurea Magistrale programme. The submission of the dissertation’s pdf file must take place after having registered for the degree exam sessions and within the deadline set by the academic calendar , by means of the special Online Services function (Degree - Final exam > Registration to final exam > Thesis upload). The supervisor shall approve the dissertation within the deadline set and always through Online Services.

Students about to graduate are invited to check the institutional e-mail box (@mail.polimi.it) for communications regarding the procedure for the submission/approval of online dissertations.

These rules also apply to students about to graduate from the old educational system, with the sole stipulation that Engineering Students in the Old Educational System who submit coursework or a graduation essay should not submit it online.

For more information: online thesis submission .

How the degree examination takes place

Graduating students are required to turn up for the final exam in the classroom and at the time indicated on Online Services and in the specific notice published on each School’s website.

Schools normally structure graduation day in two distinct stages (the two stages coincide in the case of the AUIC School):

• presentation and discussion of the Graduation Essay : the final exam of some programmes includes opportunities for discussion and assessment in the days before but, in any case, graduating students must register for the degree exam session normally and must appear before the Examination Committee
• proclamation : the moment in which the Committee officially announces all candidates’ graduation, with the announcement of the final marks and the conferral of the Degree Parchment

Degree Score

The degree score is expressed using a 110-point scale and is formed by the sum of two elements:

• the average score obtained in the coursework (weighted on the educational credits, without considering any supernumerary activities and honours)
• the increment allocated by the Committee

The increment may vary from -1 (minus one) point out of one hundred ten to 8 points out of one hundred ten. For the single-cycle degree (five years) in Architectural Engineering, the increment’s maximum value is equal to 10 points out of one hundred ten. Other limitations relating to the increment may be established by the supplementary regulations of the Schools and Programmes. The sum is rounded to the nearest integer (0.50 is rounded to 1). The degree’s minimum score is 66/110 (60/100 for students in the old educational system). The Committee may also award honours.

Degree certificate and parchement

The Degree Parchment is conferred on the day of the Degree Exam Date. However, the degree certificate must be requested by the student.

PhD thesis presentation

The presentation of a PhD thesis and its discussion are the final steps in the career of all PhD candidates. 

Research contribution

The PhD thesis is expected to present original research contributions developed during the PhD studies of the candidate. The thesis, as well as the research work, is developed under the guidance of a supervisor.

The thesis may include previously published work by the candidate, provided that the previously published material is cited appropriately in the thesis and the contribution of the author is clarified. Materials derived from the work of other authors must be properly referenced in the thesis and, if the exact words are reported, they must be cited in quotes.

The degree of originality of all PhD Theses will be assessed also through the use of anti-plagiarism software.

The evaluation of the thesis is performed in three phases: 

• by external reviewers
• by the Board of Professors of the PhD Programme
• during a public presentation of the thesis by the candidate to a final exam committee, followed by a discussion with the candidate on the contents of the thesis.

The detailed procedures are defined by the PhD Programme in which the candidate is enrolled. 

We suggest writing your thesis in A4 or A5 format; however, different formats will be allowed.

Examples of templates: 

• Sample Latex Doctoral thesis template (not compulsory)
• Sample PDF Doctoral thesis template (not compulsory)
• Sample RTF Doctoral thesis template (not compulsory)

Publication of the thesis

According to the law, all PhD theses are deposited at the National libraries of Rome and Florence, where they can be consulted locally. The candidates admitted to the final exam must deposit their thesis electronically before the final exam; when depositing the thesis they may decide whether to give public or limited access to the thesis in the Politesi repository of Politecnico di Milano, where all theses are recorded and listed after the defense.

For the procedures for the final exam registration and thesis deposit please visit this webpage

The best thesis in the area of Applied Sciences and Technologies may be proposed for publication in the Polimi-SpringerBriefs Series of  Springer, subject to an international evaluation of the submission. Further details on this series and submission procedures are available on  http://www.springer.com/series/11159   and on the Intranet page .

There are no strict constrains on academic curricula and prior experience. Nonetheless, the chances of being involved in a thesis project increase for students with outstanding curricula. If you are interested in one of the thesis opportunities offered within our research group, please contact the corresponding supervisor(s) reported in that specific project. We also kindly ask you to fill in the following form: https://goo.gl/forms/qfQbqZESyJ6YILUh1 .

Organization of work

During their final thesis, students are assigned a specific research oriented task that is part of a larger research project; they are supervised by the project leader. Thesis schedule, deadlines, milestones, etc. are often strict, depend on the schedule of the project and needs to be closely coordinated with the project leader. We require the maximum commitment by students.

Possible thesis topics

Thesis topics vary depending on current project portfolio. In this section you will find some examples of thesis available now.

Other topics for thesis might relate to:

• Interplay between venture capital, business angels and crowdfunding;
• Performance impact of business angel finance;
• Factors determining the demand for venture capital investments;
• Corporate venture capital and radical innovation

Toolbox for students

Typically, our theses are based on quantitative analysis, although we do often use other research methodologies such as experiments and interviews. We require our students a fair understanding of statistics and econometrics and/or the willingness to improve their skills in these subjects. Within the “Toolbox for students”, you will find also a list of websites, videos and documents about these subjects. Often we require our students to learn the use the econometric software STATA (that we will provide you). This is easy, no worries! We will provide you guidance during the thesis period. Yet, you can find an introduction to STATA in the “Toolbox for students”, as well.

• Lectures and Exams

Degree examinations

The attention of students is drawn to the subjects of plagiarism,  or copying (even involuntary) without mentioning the source of parts of books, essays, theses, articles, projects by other authors in the preparation of the degree thesis. This constitutes the appropriation, through total or partial copy, of the authorship of a work of others.

We therefore invite you to check your documents and always cite the sources from which you draw texts and images. In this sense, we recall the following passage from the Code of Ethics and Conduct of the Politecnico di Milano : "The Politecnico promotes the integrity of research, condemns plagiarism and infringement of intellectual property and provides opportunities for all those who carry out research activities to have a 'adequate training on ethics and integrity in research. "

Master Degree

For the Thesis, the use of the  template provided by the School . 

The presentation must be prepared in Powerpoint format. The PC and the projector will be made available in the room (no need to bring your PC).

The time slot for the presentation of a regular Thesis (i.e., Thesis with opponent examiner) is 15 minutes (extended to 20 minutes for Thesis co-authored by two students).

The time slot for the presentation of a reduced Thesis (i.e., without opponent examiner) is 10 minutes (extended to 15 minutes for reduced Thesis co-authored by two students).An optimized presentation usually foresees one slide per minute. You can use this  presentation template .

• Lectures and exams

Thesis bulletin board

In order to facilitate the search for a Thesis Advisor, in the online services under "Degree - Final exam" it is possible to consult the Thesis bulletin board , a continuously updated space in which faculty members publish proposals of thesis topics to which the Master's Degree student can apply.

Search for a document

General information, search tips, search through a database, if you did not find the document you were looking for.

Through this websile you can search all documents available at University Library System: printed books and journals, electronic resources (online articles and e-journals, e-books, databases), post-graduate theses and PhD theses, technical standards, cartography, materials. 

On this website you can use:

• the search box available on home page, the discovery tool   BIBLIOSEARCH (you can select the type of document)
• the page of Polimi research tools

As for electronic resources on subscription (online articles and e-books) you can also download the document in full-text. If you are off campus you need to have configured the proxy on your laptop browser and to have set the proxy credentials . Further information

We advise you not to do bibliographic searches on electronic resources from your mobile phone , both for reasons related to the reduced size of the screen, and because it is not possible to configure the university proxy on your mobile phone, and therefore you may obtain unreliable information regarding the availability of electronic resources.

If ou are searching only printed books and journals or materials you can use also PolimiLibrary app , which coincides with the online catalogue .

• If you are looking for a book or an e-book enter the significant words of the title or author's surname in BIBLIOSEARCH .  
• if the thesis was discussed before July 2010 or the PhD dissertation was discussed before 2012, use the online catalgue
• if the thesis was discussed after July 2010 o r the PhD dissertation was discussed since 2012 use the online repository POLItesi
• if you don't know the discussion date, use the search engine box in home page, leaving the icon "all the resources" selected  
• If you need to do a general research and you don't know exactly what kind of document you are interested in, you'd better use the discovery tool BIBLIOSEARCH . If you enter one or more search terms you simultaneously search for the online catalogue (in which you find printed books and journals, printed theses, cartography and materials), the online theses repository, the e-books, the e-journals and most of online databases on subscription.  
• If you are looking for a technical standard , use the specific databases on subscription.  

Through the databases you can find out publications about an even very specific subject or publications about an author. You can access the full-text of a document through the database, if the Politecnico has a subscription.  You can search for journal articles and documents directly in a specific database specialized in the sector of your interest or in the citational databases (Scopus and Web of Science). You find the complete list of databases on subscription here .

Some databases can also be searched through the search engine, while others can only be accessed via the native interface of the single database. Further information

After having retrieved the bibliographic references of the articles, you can check the availability of the full text . If the full-text is not available, check in the Online Catalogue if the journal containing the article is present in paper format in the Politecnico libraries. If the paper document is not available either, a link to the Document Delivery service through Nilde is available.

You can try to search for it yourself in the catalogues of other libraries outside the Politecnico or you can request the book you need through the inter-library loan service or request the article or book chapter you are looking for through the Document Delivery service. If you need help you can always contact the Reference Service .
