Total Laboratory hours
Laboratory CFU: 90 + 18 for the Final Test
Theoretical Subjects CFU: 192

The Final Test is not included in the regular number of the exams.
As for the teachings "at students' choice" a list of teachings recommended by The University will be compiled. The students' choice has to be in line with the frame work curriculum, in order to deepen the research sources for the preparation of the final thesis. At this proposal, it would be necessary to reach 12 CFU.

The University didactic Regulations provide for the assignment of 18 CFU for the Thesis of the Diploma. The achievement of the 18 CFU is related to the practical activity the students will have to undertake on a piece of Cultural Heritage, for the preparation of the first test provided for by the Degree Exam.
