Italian term or phrase: Laurea di Primo Livello
I've got a teaser here.

I understand "Laurea di Primo Livello" to be a Bachelor's Degree but the following bit in the sentence seems to contradict it (or not?).

"....ha conseguito presso questa Università in data xxxx la Laurea di Primo Livello in SCIENZE E TECNICHE PSICOLOGICHE indirizzo PSICOLOGIA DELLE RELAZIONI DI AIUTO (classe 34 - Classe delle lauree in scienze e tecniche psicologiche) con votixxxxxxx)."

Please help!

Grazie mille.
