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 hour) used to determine the workload required of a student to complete a course or a training activity.
One credit (CFU/ECTS) normally corresponds to an average effort of 25 hours, including classes, practicals, etc. but also individual study.
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 for individual study. Other training activities that are not directly related to a course (for instance, thesis, 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 their credits (CFU) by passing exams or other assessments.
Students must earn180 credits in order to earn their Bachelor's degree (1st level). The overall number of credits includes: the Final Project, the foreign language exam, and the internship (if any).
