The exam takes place with a final oral exam, through the analysis of
themes forming part of the course program through a discussion lasting
about 20-30 minutes, depending on the progress of the test itself, divided
into questions on separate arguments. The test is aimed at ascertaining
the level and the understanding ability reached by the student on the
theoretical contents and methodologies indicated in the program.
Attending students who wish to study single subjects in depth will also be
able to discuss the subject previously agreed with the teacher during the
examination. The test, as a whole, allows us to ascertain both the
capacity for knowledge and understanding of the subject and the ability
to expose and apply the acquired knowledge, as well as the ability to
elaborate autonomously solutions about the juridical-criminal
qualification of concrete cases.
For students with disabilities and / or with
DSA, the most appropriate teaching methods and verification of the
understanding of the subject will be shared according to the personal
needs of the student.

In case a student intends to anticipate his/her exam in a year preceding the one it is scheduled in his/her curriculum, it is recommended to anticipate as well the attendance of the lessons and to schedule the exam in the first useful session after the lessons have been concluded.
