The Bachelor’s Degree in Physics ends with an assessment of the student’s ability to clearly present and discuss a topic covered during the study program, using appropriate language and communication skills. The topic is usually suggested by a professor from the program, who also acts as a tutor or supervisor and ensures it is approved by the examination committee. The final examination consists of writing a long abstract and giving an oral presentation of a maximum of 10 minutes, followed by possible questions. The final exam is worth 3 ECTS credits.

Please note that photographers for graduation exams must be accredited (see the guide “Choosing Photographers for Graduation Exams”). To use a trusted professional photographer, their name must be submitted via email to segrdida@df.unipi.it within 15 days of the opening of the graduation session.
This is necessary to issue the “Invited Photographer” pass required to access the room where the graduation ceremony will take place. The pass must be collected at the Physics Department reception desk (Largo Pontecorvo, 3), upon presentation of a valid ID, which will be returned when the pass is handed back.
