Laurea, Master and Dottorato di ricerca Explanation: Yes, the school system is different in Italy. I put the rough equivalent of the university degrees you specified. However, the Laurea lasts 4 years, (full-time and even longer because the Italian system is based on the number of exams and not on hours of study, so you may need more time to complete a course of study), the Master is a sort of specialisation after the Laurea and the Dottorato di ricerca (PhD) is something that is followed if you want to continue the University career in order to become an Assistant (Assistente) to the Professor. |

"Diploma di Laurea breve" "Diploma di Laurea " "Dottorato" Explanation: As to Bachelor's degree, it can be translated with "Diploma di Laurea breve" or simply "Diploma universitario", sometimes called in the press as "Mini-Laurea" (not advisable for a CV). Master's degree is usually a full four-year degree (but 7 years for architecture and medecine) and should be the traditional "Diploma di Laurea). A PHD is a "Dottorato", it can be "Dottorato di ricerca". |

Laurea, Master, Dottorato di Ricerca Explanation: I would agree with incerpi. A Laurea in Italy (in theory, at least) is a 4 or 5-year program of university study ending with a thesis. Many people take much longer, because a student is not forced to take an exam if (s)he does not feel prepared, and so many people put off exams or even refuse grades once they have taken an exam, so that they may be retested with the hope of recieving a better grade. A Masters Degree in Italy is somewhat similar to a Masters Degree in the U.S., but it usually takes less time in Italy,(often 1 year) and usually there is much less writing involved. I hope this helps. |
