Rules for graduating students

This page offers some tips on how to present the defence of your Thesis.

If you use Powerpoint presentations

  1. From the session of April 2022 (except for Covid-related variations) it will again be possible to show the Powerpoint presentations on the large screen in the Department (MASTER’S ONLY).
  2. The presentation must NOT be submitted
  3. The presentation must be saved in PowerPoint format with filename surname.ppt (e.g. rximario.ppt) on a NEW pendrive, for both the test and the graduation session.
  4. We do not recommend using heavy animations or fonts that are not standard versions, in order to avoid display problems (the PCs used may be different).

If you are using OTP:

  1. It is not necessary to bring transparencies. Normal prints (even black / white) in A4 format, landscape orientation, are sufficient.
  2. We still recommend the PowerPoint presentation which is qualitatively better for screening.

The day of the viva voce

  1. Once on the podium, you will need to close the previous candidate's presentation if it is still open.
  2. If the screen is black, just press ESC to return to PowerPoint.
  3. Insert your pendrive
  4. Open your presentation
  5. Press F5 for fullscreen and manage the presentation yourself.
  6. When finished, close the presentation and disconnect the pendrive correctly
  7. The microphone is always on, all you need to do is adjust its height.
