The system of Universities in Italy is simple to that one of the United Kingdom. An educational year in the Italy is divided into two semesters, the term of one discipline, as a rule, lasts no longer than semester. The examinations are taking place in the beginning of the studying year – in September, in the middle of the year - (from January till February), and in the end of the year – (from May till July).
The grades of the knowledge evaluation are from 1 till 30, 18 is that very grade, which means that the examination was passed. At the end of each educational course (Laurea one – a Bachelor’s Degree or Laurea Specialistica – a Master’s Degree) the final examination is taking place. Such examinations also presuppose a presentation of thesis or dissertation. Final grade is evaluated with the help of the following grades – 1-110. Here, the minimum grade is 66. If the general grade is higher than 110, a degree of cum laude may be awarded.
As I have already mentioned, there are two major options for the students: Bachelor’s degree and Master’s degree. However, only very limited amount of the students stop their education at earning BA, as a rule they are becoming students of Laurea Specialistica.
