Graduation application

Submitting the application: to be admitted to the final degree examination, students must be up to date with the payment of tuition fees and other charges and must have an approved study plan. Failure to meet these requirements will result in the cancellation of the graduation application.

Before submitting the application: complete the AlmaLaurea questionnaire.

• Graduating students must register with AlmaLaurea by selecting "AlmaLaurea Registration" through the "Web Services – Student Administration Offices" portal and logging in using their credentials.
• Complete the questionnaire.

Online application: only after completing the questionnaire will students be able to select "Degree Award" (see the Guide to Submitting an Online Graduation Application).
Students must then enter the information required for their application for admission to the final degree examination.
Please note that students must complete, sign and upload the "Form – Rules of Conduct During the Graduation Ceremony" among the attachments required as part of the online procedure.

Upon completion of the online procedure, students must pay the virtual stamp duty of €32.00 using the PagoPA payment notice (payable at branches of all banks). Please check the deadlines indicated above to avoid any applicable late payment penalties.
Once the payment has been recorded and the necessary checks on the student's academic record have been completed, the relevant administrative staff will confirm the application for admission to the final degree examination.

For Bachelor's degree programmes in the healthcare professions: (Professional Education, Physiotherapy, Dental Hygiene, Nursing, Midwifery, Cardiocirculatory Physiopathology and Cardiovascular Perfusion Techniques, Biomedical Laboratory Techniques, Medical Radiology Techniques for Imaging and Radiotherapy, and Prevention Techniques in the Environment and Workplace), in addition to the €32.00 virtual stamp duty, students must also pay a €200.00 fee for admission to the final degree examination, which also qualifies graduates to practise their profession.

For the single-cycle Master's degree programme in Medicine and Surgery: in accordance with Ministerial Decree No. 8 of 2 April 2020 and the subsequent Rector's Decree No. 346/2020 of 13 May 2020, the University's Academic Regulations governing the degree programme in Medicine and Surgery (Class LM/41 – Medicine and Surgery) were amended pursuant to Decree-Law No. 18 of 17 March 2020.
For further information, please consult the dedicated degree programme webpage.

Accordingly, starting from the first available graduation session of the 2019/2020 academic year (July 2020), students graduating in Medicine and Surgery (Class LM/41 – Medicine and Surgery) who have successfully completed the practical assessment placement pursuant to Ministerial Decree No. 58/2018 as part of their degree programme will be awarded a Master's degree in Medicine and Surgery, which serves both as an academic qualification and as a professional qualification entitling them to practise medicine. From 13 May 2020, in addition to the €32.00 virtual stamp duty, these students are required to pay a €200.00 fee for admission to the final degree examination, which also qualifies them to practise the profession, and the compulsory government fee of €49.58 for admission to the State Examinations for professional qualification.
