Summary/Abstract: The development of the graduation project was a novelty of the last years for the Conservation and Restoration section in Sibiu of the Faculty of Architecture within UAUIM. Based on a series of observations of the evaluation committee, this year, the essential difference consists in the possibility of a wide choice. Thus, the students in the last year of studies were given a double choice: one regarding the tutoring team and another regarding the actual subject of the study (previously both the tutoring team the project were imposed). Also, the size of the heritage house to be worked on was limited to around 200, maximum 300sqm to facilitate the possibility of a more detailed study of what is existing and the development of a project as detailed as possible. It should also be noted that within the three-year bachelor’s program, working for the diploma and dissertation project happens in parallel with the activity of the sixth semester, taking theoretical classes, doing practical work, passing the exams during the summer session and afterwards, eventually being able to complete their diploma project during the summer. The presentation takes place in mid-September for the first session and in February for the second session.
