Besides the qualifications listed above, Italian universities can institute other courses which come under the category of lifelong learning or continuous education. Known as “Corsi di perfezionamento”, they respond to cultural needs for follow-up in specific study areas or for update needs or professional requalification and permanent education. They are usually between two months and one year in duration and the structure of each course and admission qualification are decided autonomously by each university. The certificates relative to higher education programs do not allow admission to any course but are assessed in the workplace or to gain extra points for public competitions.

In order to accede to higher education courses in Italian institutions it is necessary to hold the "Diploma di Esame di Stato conclusivo dei corsi di istruzione secondaria superiore” (State Exam Diploma upon the conclusion of the higher secondary school course) - commonly known as “Diploma di Maturità”.

For more information you can visit the following link: http://www.cimea.it/en/services/academic-recognition/academic-recognition1.aspx



Every topic included in the study plan necessitates the passing of an exam. The subject exams (referring to each separate topic) may be oral, written or practical (especially in AFAM institutions). Failure to pass an exam is not indicated in the “exam transcript”, therefore the student must retake the exam to achieve a positive result. Each university can choose autonomously how many times a student may repeat an exam within the period reserved for subject exams.



The grades for subject exams are measures in 30th (0-30) the minimum grade is 18/30 and the maximum grade is 30/30.

The maximum grade can be enhanced with “cum laude “(30 cum laude).



The final degree evaluation is expressed in one hundred and tenths (0-110 scale), the minimum grade is 66/110 and the maximum grade is 110/110. The calculation of the final of each candidate considers the average of the grades obtained in the subject exams, as well as the quality of the work performed in research or in the final thesis which is discussed in public before an exams commission.

“Cum laude” (110 cum laude) may be added to the maximum grade if the exams commission decides unanimously.

UNIVERSITY OF ROME "FORO ITALICO"

23

This system, which was developed by the European Commission in order to promote student mobility throughout Europe, helps institutions assess and recognize all studies accomplished abroad.

A single credit is the equivalent of 25 hours of student work, including all learning activities such as lectures, seminars, practical work and individual study: to complete an academic semester student need to perform academic work corresponding to 30 credits; 60 credits are requested for a whole academic year.

The ECTS grading table can be produced for national grading scales of any size, from data concerning a given reference group which are easily available in institutional records. When included in the Transcripts of Records and Diploma Supplements of the students, the table will facilitate the interpretation of each grade awarded to them and will not require any further calculation.

All roads lead to Rome, as the saying goes; the truth is, they all depart from Rome. Such a rich complexity, stemming from almost 3000 years of haphazard superposition, is bewildering and then progressively fascinating, as the visitor discovers this unique city’s unexpected charm. Students will find out that, despite all its grandeur, Rome carries its years lightly and that a visit to this easygoing, friendly, lively, often chaotic city is an enriching experience.

At a Glance : •Since 2013, Rome has been divided into 15 municipi (boroughs), each of which has its individual charm and varying rental costs.

•The health service in Italy — the SSN — is one of the best in Europe. Simply visit your local ASL to register and receive your health insurance card.

•As long as your current driving permit license was issued in another EU/EEA member state and is still valid, you will be able to use it until it expires.

•Rome’s public transportation system includes three metro lines, six tram lines, and various bus routes connecting all parts of the city.

Additional, lots of people travel around the capital riding their bikes.

For books, its best way to buy them at university bookshops, which have more reasonable prices, or go to the second –hand markets in Viale Oberdan and Colli Albani, where it’s easy to find every kind of book.
