Master Thesis
The Master Thesis is completely integrated in the educational program as an opportunity for the student to apply what she has learned during the previous semesters, with a multi-functional and integrative approach. It is a broad project that the IMIM consortium organizes in collaboration with universities, industrial and service companies and other organizations. There are two types of Master Thesis (MTh):
- MTh performed in academic institutions (universities members of the consortium or other European academic institutions or from third countries having agreements with IMIM consortium)
- MTh performed in companies or other organizations (foundations, public administrations)
The MTh is defined by a clear set of objectives, by expected outcome and by main milestones. An expert IMIM tutor supervises the student’s activities, mentoring and directing the development of the project. An academic tutor from one of the consortium universities is always responsible for the follow up of the MTh. There can be other tutors who may act as external tutors The student conducts an autonomous work with defined responsibilities, toward the achievement of the stated objectives, considering a wide range of managerial aspects and adopting different tools. The Master Thesis is a wonderful opportunity to blend the knowledge of different subjects and take an integrated and practical view of the issues addressed during classes.
