What is a University Master’s
In the Italian university system, a master’s is a post-gr
aduate qualification for advanced scientific specialisation and high-level – ongoing and recurring – training, awarded after obtaining a three-year degree or a specialist/master’s degree.The
university master’s differs from other post-graduate courses in its minimum duration of one academic year (1,500 hours) and the awarding of 60 university credits (CFU).Obtaining a university master
’s allows students to use the credits acquired – in full or in part – towards other degree programmes, specialisation courses, or other master’s degrees.University master’s degrees may be first
or second level. Admission to first-level master’s programmes requires a three-year degree, while admission to second-level master’s requires a master’s (or specialist) degree.With four-year
degrees under the previous system, students may access master’s degrees of both levels.First
-level master’s are multidisciplinary, while second-level master’s are focused on advanced specialisation.Master’s Programmes at the University for Foreigners of Perugia
