Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant had standing to challenge the master thesis grade despite having already obtained the degree.
Decisão extraída
The court left the question open because the appeal had to be allowed in any event for denial of the right to be heard.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant did not demonstrate a legally protected interest based on university rules or the EPFL doctorate admission provisions, but standing need not be decided once the formal ground succeeds.
