The academic credit system
An academic credit (CFU, Credito Formativo Universitario, or ECTS, European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) is a unit of measurement (1 CFU=25 hours) used to determine the workload required of a student to complete a course or a training activity. Each course has its own workload expressed in credits.
For instance, a 6-credit course is equivalent to an average effort of 150 hours, approximately 60 of which are dedicated to taught activities and the rest is intended for individual study. Other training activities which are not directly related to a course (for instance, theses, final projects, internships…) are also measured in credits.
For each academic year, full-time students are required to complete an average workload of 60 CFU
Students earn thier credits (CFU) by passing exams or other assessment tests.
Credits are also used to measure the overall workload needed in order to earn the final degree. Students must earn180 credits in order to earn a first level (Bachelor's) degree.
The overall number of credits includes: the Final Project, the foreign language exam and the internship (if any).
