Second cycle degree structure
General informations
The two year academic course of second level is divided into a program that includes Basic compulsory, Core compulsory, Related or Additional and Elective subjects.
A variable number of ECTS - European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (Italian: CFA - Crediti Formativi Accademici) is recognized for each activity or discipline held by the student during the two-year academic course.
The Academic degree is awarded after the acquisition of 120 credits (110 CFA during the two year course + 10 CFA in the final examination); for the achievement of credits, a number of lesson hours equal to or higher than 80% must be attended and, at the end of the course, a final ability exam must be passed. In case of formative activities that don't include a final exam, only a certificate of suitability must be obtained.
The student formulates his personal study plan according to the possibilities contained in the Tables of his course.
