Assessment criteria

  • The programme follows a continuous assessment system combining theoretical evaluation with practical and applied activities.
  • Theoretical knowledge is assessed through written examinations, including multiple-choice tests, short conceptual questions and problem-solving exercises, aimed at evaluating both understanding of fundamental concepts and their practical application.
  • Continuous assessment also includes individual assignments and exercises related to specific topics covered during the course.
  • Practical learning is evaluated through laboratory sessions, process simulation practices and field trips. These activities require the submission of short technical reports or questionnaires, designed to assess students’ capacity to analyse results, interpret real industrial situations and connect practical experience with theoretical concepts.
  • Attendance is required.
  • This assessment framework ensures a balanced evaluation of students’ technical knowledge, practical skills and capacity to apply learning in real industrial contexts, in line with the applied and professional orientation of the Master.

  • The Master’s Thesis is assessed through a weighted evaluation that combines the assessment of the Supervisor(s) and the Evaluation Committee based on written thesis report and on an oral defence,
  • The Master’s Thesis must be passed independently and cannot be compensated with the grades obtained in the theoretical or practical coursework.
  • To be eligible to defend the Master’s Thesis, students must have successfully completed all theoretical courses and laboratory sessions included in the Master’s programme.

Students may request a review of their grade in accordance with the procedures and deadlines established by the Faculty Academic Secretariat.
