  Credit system

For each course, a number of credits is distributed which the students obtain by passing the respective exam. These credits define the student's workload, including time spent attending lectures, seminars, independent study, and examinations. The Italian University system uses CFU (Crediti Formativi Universitari) for which 1 CFU corresponds to 1 ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System). The Italian system is adapted to the European credit system.

An overview of the transfer system is listed below:

• 1 Italian CFU = 1 ECTS credit
• 1 ECTS credit = 25 working hours (lectures and self study)
• 1 full year of study = 60 ECTS
• 1st cycle Degree (3 years Programme) = 180 ECTS
• 2nd cycle Degree (2 year Programme) = 120 ECTS
