The exam sessions, no less than six per academic year, are scheduled in three periods: January-February (Winter session), June-July (Summer session) and September (Autumn session). Additional exam sessions are scheduled during "teaching breaks" (usually in November and March) or may be requested by students with justified reasons.

Students may register for examinations 30 to 3 days before the exam date and for only one exam at a time per each teaching activity.

The student’s right to take the exam of a learning activity depends on the presence of the activity itself in the last approved study plan and on the student's administrative and contribution status.

The examination assessment may result in a mark (from a minimum of 18/30 up to a maximum of 30/30) or in a pass/fail basis.

Exams may be:

1) oral exam;

2) written exam with compulsory oral;

3) written exam with optional oral.

If the written exam consists only of multiple-choice questions, the oral exam is compulsory.

Written or oral reports may be requested by teachers and, in this case, are an integrated part of the exam.

More information on the assessment for each course can be checked in the respective Syllabus, published on the MSc Programme’s e-learning page, in the “Courses” section.

The exams calendar is available on the Web Agenda (or BicoccaAPP) of the University. Registration for exam dates must be performed by means of the Online Student Registry
