Professor Sergi reserves the right to limit the number of theses she supervises.
Students who intend to write their thesis on one of Prof. Sergi's courses and topics are requested to request an interview during office hours, which is the only way to formalize the assignment of the final paper, approximately 7-8 months before graduation for a bachelor's degree, and 9-10 months before graduation for a master's degree. Admission to thesis work with Prof. Sergi is conditional upon the submission of an abstract, including a research question and research methods reflections, and an initial outline, and an essential bibliography on the topic of the thesis. Priority will be given to those who attended the modules and successfully passed the exams.
