Based on this presentation, the Board of professors decides whether to send the doctoral thesis to external evaluators, specialists in the research area of the thesis, by October 31 (unless there are suspensions and/or extensions). The evaluators provide a written assessment by December 1 (or two months from the submission of the thesis in case of suspensions or extensions). Based on these evaluations, the Board of professors either admits the student to the final examination or requests an extension of work for up to 6 months. Final examination The examination committee (which, in line with international practice, is unique for each candidate) is proposed by the Board of professors for approval by the Department Council for rectoral appointment, based on the expertise related to the topics of the theses. The final examination takes place within the month of February of the year following the end of the doctoral course, except in cases of suspension and/or extension of the academic path. This deadline can be extended by the college, based on the judgments of external evaluators, for a maximum of six months and in line with regulatory provisions.
