Other training activities that award credits
Graduate
After completing compulsory internships and/or other training and orientation activities proposed by the Area Council, students must complete their training under the guidance of a reference lecturer, producing a summary paper to be discussed in the final examination. The final exam, to be held in the presence of the Degree Committee, which also verifies the possession of suitable and relevant communication skills, aims to assess the achievement of the training objectives with reference to knowledge, analysis and synthesis skills in relation to the topic of the thesis under discussion.
The final exam consists of writing and discussing a dissertation, which is drafted under the supervision of a supervisor and discussed by the candidate before a Degree Committee. The dissertation, which is worth 3 CFU credits, consists of a paper on a topic that is not necessarily original, such as an in-depth compilation of topics covered in the courses taken by the candidate or a report on project activities.
The discussion is held in the presence of the Degree Committee, composed of 7 to 11 members, which also verifies the possession of suitable and relevant communication skills, and aims to assess the achievement of the educational objectives in relation to the knowledge acquired and the ability to analyse and synthesise the issues addressed in the dissertation under discussion. The final mark is based on the average of the marks obtained in the exams, the dissertation and the final discussion.

Job Orientation
• assistance and information regarding available services
• individual career guidance sessions
• CV review
• a training catalogue for career guidance and employability development
• partnership agreements with companies for placement and career‑oriented initiatives
• dedicated recruitment sessions
• organisation of recruiting and career guidance events
• organisation of Career Days
Support for entering the labour market is provided through specific initiatives organised by the Career Service and/or by Faculties and other University structures, or in collaboration with companies, public and private organisations and professional associations.
Career guidance activities may include seminars, workshops and thematic events focusing on career development, transversal skills and career management skills (for example soft skills, CV writing, active job search strategies, video CVs, social networks, Employability Labs and similar initiatives).
To facilitate interaction with companies and organisations, Recruiting Days, Career Days, Testimonial Days, company presentations, company visits, assessments, business games, mentoring programmes and other placement‑related activities are organised, including initiatives involving Alumni and corporate mentorships. These events may be held either online or in person and are designed to match the most suitable candidates with available professional opportunities.
Students and graduates may also attend seminars, workshops and thematic events related to placement, such as innovation, start‑ups, business incubation, professional insights, Innovation Camps and similar initiatives.
Students and graduates have access to the JobTeaser Sapienza online platform, which allows them to:
• create and personalise their CV
• apply for job opportunities aligned with their academic profile
• consult the list of companies and associations registered on the platform and contact them directly
• register for recruiting events, company presentations and scheduled Career Days
Each year, the Career Service organises the University‑wide Career Day, open to students and graduates from all eleven Faculties of Sapienza, as well as several thematic or Faculty‑specific Career Days, such as the Humanities and Social Sciences Career Day, the Economics and Law Career Day and the STEM Career Day.
Services, the event calendar and opportunities dedicated to students and graduates are published on the University’s webpage:

The Career Service also manages its own social media channels (Facebook, X and LinkedIn), through which it promotes services, calls for applications, competitions and other opportunities for students and graduates.

Degree Programme activities
As part of career development support, the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering (ICI) implements initiatives dedicated to placement and strengthening professional awareness. In coordination with the University, the Faculty participates in Career Days and is a member of the Placement Coordination Group.
Through the FIGI project – Faculty of Engineering and Large Enterprises, the Faculty organises consolidated formats such as “An aperitif with…” (meetings with leading figures from the business world), “Know‑how and Know‑yourself” (professional orientation workshops and simulations), and “An afternoon with…” (company presentations and direct dialogue with students). These activities are complemented by thematic laboratory sessions and meetings with mentors from fields not necessarily limited to engineering (for example, the “Engineering meets” initiative).
Students can also benefit from the contacts and relationships that academics have established with companies and organisations operating in Building and Environmental Engineering sectors, facilitating their entry into the labour market.
Continuous relationships with local stakeholders also help maintain an active channel for the rapid and effective placement of graduates.
