Notes
The new 3+2 degree courses give a bachelor degree (or a first
level degree) after 3 years, and a master's degree (or a
second level degree) after a further 2 years.
1 CFU is earned by attending 8 hours of lectures.
All lectures are held in Italian language.
Attendance of the lectures is warmly recommended.
