The 4th semester is devoted to the preparation of the thesis. You will be assigned two supervisors (one in Udine and one in Klagenfurt) and a subject to work on. Your supervisors will oversee your accomplishments. There are some intermediate steps that are slightly different depending on whether you decide to spend this last semester in Klagenfurt or in Udine (privatissimum seminars on one side, two advanced lab projects on the other), but such details need to be clarified only by the beginning of the 4th semester.
