The writing of a Diploma Thesis is one of the most creative challenges of the Programme and a necessary step for the completion of studies and the award of a Diploma in Financial and Management Engineering. It offers students the opportunity to prove their ability to use the knowledge they have gained during the course of their studies at the Department, working on their own and under the supervision of a member of the academic staff. In addition, it allows students to search in depth a topic of their interest by applying a rigourous scientific methodology to tackle the problem.
The writing of the Thesis normally takes place during the last two semesters of study and upon successful completion it counts for 15% of the final grade. The Thesis is examined by a three-member Committee consisting of the supervisor and two members of Faculty or Associate Teaching Staff.
