Thesis

The study track in Management Engineering includes a thesis project, which consists of the preparation of a paper related to a specific in-depth study of a topic covered in the master's degree. The student may develop the thesis on the project he or she developed during the internship, or on a topic proposed by the lecturer or the student himself or herself.

The thesis project will be supervised by a professor from the University of Padua with whom the student will define the structure of his or her thesis project and its scope.
