Compiling of Study Plan
Credit system
CFU (Credito Formativo Universitario, “University Educational Credit”, corresponding to 25 hours each) is the unit of measurement of the workload required to students by different educational activities. The workload required by any course activated in different study courses is measured in credits. For example, a course valued 6 credits will require a medium workload of 150 hours, 60 of which will be destined to teaching and the rest of it to individual study. The other educational activities (as thesis, final project and internship) are measured in credits too. The study plan is obtained by adding up all the credits of the teaching and educational activities expected for the academic year. Credits are also necessary to define the overall study plan necessary to acquire an educational qualification, as follows: 

Bachelor of Science (I level) 180 cfu      
Master of Science (II level): 120 cfu (only for students who have already earned a I level Degree) 

The total amount of credits in the study plan includes internship, final project and foreign language exam; contingent exams advanced from Master of Science are excluded from the total amount. Students can insert in their study plan 10 extra credits in addition to the 180 cfu expected for the Bachelor of Science and to the 120 cfu expected for Master of Science.
