The State Examination

The State Examination, which takes place at the end of the second cycle of education, is a key milestone in a student’s educational journey and is aimed at assessing the skills acquired by students at the end of the cycle. In order to take the State Examination, the student must first be admitted by a decision made by the class council in the final exam of the last class of the course of study. It consists of several written tests and an interview. In particular for the second cycle, there are two written tests: the first is common to all courses of study, while the second is specific to the course of study attended. The written tests are followed by an interview. For the first cycle it has a multidisciplinary character. For the second cycle it is conducted on the basis of the specific learning objectives of the course and in relation to the disciplines that characterize the course of study
