There is an assessment of learning for each course through an intermediate test and/or a final test. According to the type of course delivered, these tests can be of different kinds (e.g., multiple-choice tests, reports, or project works) at the professors' discretion.

To complete the degree, a student is expected to finish a 450-hour internship in the third semester. In this period, the students are also expected to write their theses.

The final exam will consist of a thesis defense related to a project carried out under the supervision of a teacher of the Master’s on the topics addressed during the courses, both during the practical exercises and the internship.
