▌INTRODUCTION

What is ECTS?

The European Community promotes inter-university co-operation as a means for improving the quality of education to the benefit of students and higher education institutions alike. Student mobility constitutes a primary feature of that co-operation. The LLP Erasmus programme clearly demonstrates that a study period abroad can constitute a particularly precious experience, not only being the best way to discover countries, ideas, languages and cultures different from one's own but also because it is gaining a growing importance in the evolution of university and professional careers.

The creation of a single European area in the field of education, where students and teachers can move freely without barriers, goes upon the recognition of the studies undertaken and the

qualifications achieved abroad. For this reason ECTS - the English acronym for the European

Community Course Credit Transfer System - was born, originally as a master plan within the framework of the previous Erasmus programme, with the aim of promoting academic recognition of studies undertaken abroad. The European Commission decided to include ECTS in the Socrates programme, in particular within Sector I reserved to higher education (Erasmus), given the conclusive effectiveness of the ECTS system. After the first stage planned for a limited application, ECTS is now becoming much more meaningful to the extent of becoming a permanent feature of the European context of higher education.

ECTS is above all pursuing transparency, establishing the conditions necessary to bring institutions closer together and broadening the range of choices offered to students. Its application facilitates the recognition of students' academic results through to the use of widely understood standards - credits and grades - as well as a better understanding of the national systems of higher education.

ECTS goes upon three basic elements:

1) Information on study plans and student results,

2) Reciprocal agreement (between the participating institutions and the student) and 3) The use of ECTS credits (values representing the working load done by the student).

Principal Features of ECTS

ECTS is thus founded upon three basic elements: information on study plans and student results, reciprocal agreement (between the participating institutions and the student) and the use of ECTS credits (values representing the workload done by the student). These three basic elements are effective through three fundamental documents:

1) The information brochure,

2) The application form/learning agreement and

3) The transcript of records, as to the studies done.

But the essential aspect is that ECTS is activated by the students, the teachers and the institutions which intend to make studying abroad a whole part of the learning experience. Indeed, ECTS does not, in any way, determine the contents, the structure or the equivalence of study programmes. These qualitative aspects must be decided upon directly by the higher

(5)

offers the interested parties the tools suitable to pursue transparency and academic recognition.

Full academic recognition is a sine qua non condition of student mobility within the framework of the LLP Erasmus programme. Full academic recognition requires the period of study abroad (including exams and other forms of evaluation) to effectively substitute a comparable period of study (including exams and other forms of assessment) in the institution of origin notwithstanding the fact that there may be differences in the contents of the programme.

ECTS goes on voluntary use and reciprocal trust at academic level among the participating institutions. Every institution chooses its own partners.

Transparency

ECTS guarantees transparency through the following instruments:

 ECTS credits, - a numerical value assigned to a course unit – which represent the working load that a student must undertake in order to complete a given course unit. The credits express the quantity of work every course unit requires with respect to the global volume of work necessary to successfully complete a full year's study at the institution, that is: lectures, practical work, seminars, traineeships, research or surveys, personal study - either at home or in the library - together with exams and other forms of student assessment. ECTS is, therefore, based on the overall working load of the student and not merely limited to lecture hours. 60 credits represent the working load for a full academic year's study and, as a rule, 30 credits are equivalent to a semester and 20 credits to a trimester.

 The ECTS information brochure, which provides useful information to students and personnel about the institutions, faculties/departments, course organisation and structure as well as the individual course units.

 The ECTS learning agreement, which describes the study plan the student has to follow and

indicates the ECTS credits that shall grant upon satisfactory completion thereof. The agreement binds the student to attend the host university's programme as the main part of their higher education, the institution of origin to guarantee the student full academic recognition of the credits obtained abroad and, the host institution to provide the agreed course units to the extent allowed by the academic calendar.

 The ECTS transcript of records, which presents the student's academic results in a clear, complete and comprehensible manner for each part and which must be easily transferable from one institution to another.

To facilitate the academic recognition of the studies undertaken or completed abroad, good communication and flexibility are required. In this regard the ECTS co-ordinators carry out a fundamental role monitoring the academic and administrative aspects of ECTS.

As a rule, it is necessary to make available to the students the entire range of course units of the department that implements ECTS, including those units relating to postgraduate studies. The students must be able to attend regular courses - and not especially set up for them - and must be given the opportunity to satisfy the demands of the host institution giving an academic qualification. Reliance on ECTS credits guarantees the organisation of programmes, which are reasonable in terms of working load for the period of study abroad. For instance, 120 ECTS

(6)

ECTS, moreover, allows students to continue their studies abroad. In fact, it can happen that once the original study period is over the student may not wish to return to their original institution but may instead prefer to remain in the host institution - possibly to graduate from there - or move on to a third institution. Such decision may not be taken without the agreement of all institutions involved which in any case have to set the conditions to fulfil in order to graduate from the host institution or transfer to a third institution. The ECTS certificate is a chronology of the student's academic record and it can constitute a particularly useful instrument for the institutions to manage such a decision.

EDUCATION IN ITALY

Until 1989 (Law 168/1989) the entire Italian educational system was under the Ministry of Education. At that time the Ministry of Universities and Scientific Research was created to take over the responsibilities of university education and scientific and technological research. The

two entities are currently encompassed under the organisational designation Ministero

dell’Istruzione, dell’Università e della Ricerca - MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and

Research). Information for foreign students can be found at ).

PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION

Cycles

Following the 2003 Reform of primary and secondary education, the Italian school system has been reorganised as follows:

 First cycle  Primary education: 5 years of schooling beginning at age 6;

Secondary education (first degree): 3 years of schooling beginning at age

11.

 Second cycle  Secondary education (second degree): 5 years of schooling beginning at age 14.

The higher secondary schools are of various types: classical, scientific, linguistic, artistic, technical and vocational studies as well as teacher training. At the end of the 5-year course, students take the examination to obtain the Diploma di Maturità in the specialised area they have chosen. This diploma grants admission to an Italian university.

Grading System

Until 1968, secondary school grading was on a scale of 0-10, 6 being the minimum passing grade. From 1969 to 1999, final marks were on a scale of 0-60, 36 being the minimum passing grade. Since 2000 a different system has been implemented: final marks are on a scale of 0-100 and the minimum passing grade is 60.

UNIVERSITY EDUCATION

Admission

Admission to Italian universities grants only to holders of a Diploma di maturità from an Italian secondary school. Foreign students, or Italian students from secondary schools abroad, are admitted on the strength of equivalent qualifications. There are no limitations on admission except in Medical School (medicine, dentistry, veterinary), in private independent universities (like LUISS Guido Carli or Bocconi in Milan), and in newly established universities/degree courses.

Grading System

In the university grading system, individual courses grade on a scale of 18-30. The maximum final grade is 110, after the dissertation of a thesis on a free topic. For very brilliant students the degree may be awarded cum laude.

(8)

Academic Qualifications and Degrees 1. University Diploma

This is a first-level university qualification for courses lasting 3 years. For admission to these courses, students must have a Diploma di Maturità.

2. Laurea (Degree)

The system of university study in Italy has undergone an overall reform in terms of structure and teaching system. Up to 2001, to obtain a Laurea, the basic university degree, used to take 4 to 6 years, depending on the field of study. From the academic year 2001/2002, universities have

adopted three study cycles. The first cycle, three years in length, is characterised by a

professional training type content and concludes with the award of a first-level degree (Laurea Triennale – Bachelor Degree); the second cycle, lasting two years, concludes with the award of a second-level Master’s degree (Laurea Magistralis – Master’s Degree); while the third cycle, lasting from one to three years, leads to the award of either a doctorate or a specialised postgraduate degree.

Teaching activity is organized in faculties, which offer one or more degree courses in specific academic areas. Course requirements are established by law and the laurea is obtained after the student has passed a set number of exams, gained the required credits, and successfully

discussed a written research paper. Admission to the Laurea programme is regulated by the

general rules for university admission. Courses for masters degrees may also be offered parallel to each study cycle. All study programmes must be based on the European system for the transfer of academic credits (ECTS) as provided for in recent agreements reached at EU level. Along with the three-cycle program system established by the Italian Ministerial Decrees, a limited number of “old” second cycle programs (dental medicine, human medicine, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, architecture, law) coexist with the new university system. These

programs, called One-Cycle Programs, aim at providing students with advanced education and training for highly qualified professions in specific areas. The general access requirement is upper secondary school degree or a comparable foreign qualification. Admission to individual degree programs may be subject to specific course requirements.

One-Cycle Programs last five years and require 300 credits (European Credit Transfer System) for completion (only human medicine requires six years and 360 credits). The degree awarded is a Master’s Degree which grants access to competitions for the civil service, to regulated and non-regulated professions, doctoral programs and all the other postgraduate study degree programs. 3. Research Doctorate

The aim of the doctoral studies programmes is to offer post-graduate opportunity for research. Programmes include individual research under the guidance of professors and special seminars.

The minimum period of study is three years. This third-level academic degree, Doctorate of

Research, is awarded to candidates who have successfully documented their research and written an original final thesis. This programme is open to a limited number of candidates (also from foreign countries), who must be university graduates or hold equivalent degrees.

(9)

3a. Post-graduate Diplomas of Specialization

These diplomas are given by schools offering special advanced courses in various professions. The limited places are reserved for university graduates or those with equivalent foreign qualifications. The courses last 2/3 years and include practical experience. Attendance is mandatory. The final examination is a defence of a written thesis.

EXCHANGE STUDENTS

LLP ERASMUS PROGRAMME AND BILATERAL AGREEMENTS

The Student Exchange Office (Viale Romania,32 00197 Rome) deals with orientation and registration of students on exchange programmes (LLP Erasmus and Bilateral Agreements).

Every year, around the month of February, LUISS sends an info-package to every partner Institution by e-mail. It contains information for exchange students and application forms for: - Online registration, including the ‘Learning Agreement’(or proposed programme of study) - Accommodation

- The intensive course in Italian Language in September.

All applications, in electronic and paper version, completed and signed, must be received by May 31, that is the fixed deadline for fall and/or spring semester applications every year. As soon as the application forms are received, in June, LUISS will send incoming students acceptance letters and practical information.

Since courses and examinations are mainly held in Italian, students will need to have an adequate knowledge of the language before beginning their courses. If necessary, they can attend an intensive Italian course that is held every year at LUISS Guido Carli in September. There are set, mandatory arrival dates for each academic year. The dates are not yet available, but they will be made available and sent to partners institutions as soon as possible.

(17)

At their arrival, students must report to the Student Exchange Office at 10.30 or at 2.30 p.m. (Viale Romania, 32 - 00197 Rome - tel.: +39-06-85225722/727- fax: +39-06-86506505 -

They are highly recommended to arrive on the fixed dates.

RECORDS

The language of instruction is mainly Italian. Every year, LUISS offers some courses in English. The final list is available at the beginning of classes.

The standard working load for LUISS students is about 30 credits/semester, including two language courses. Guest students are advised not to take more than the average working load. On making their choice of courses exchange students should: check the pre-requisites, avoid time-table clashes for attendance is compulsory, pick courses only at their level (Bachelor or Master).

Full-year courses can only be taken by the students that will spend the whole academic year at LUISS. If these conditions are met, guest students have access to all the courses in the three LUISS Faculties.

In order to attend the Master’s Degree Courses students must have: - a Bachelor degree or three years of study completed before departure; - a very good command of the Italian/English language.

Please note that it will be very difficult to mix Bachelor and Master’s courses because of the different timetables, calendar and examination periods.

Full-time attendance of classes is mandatory.

The final examinations for each course are oral and sometimes written. Written tests may be given occasionally during the course.

Guest students are registered automatically for all the examination dates (Appelli) for all the courses they have chosen.

Exams can be taken only on the official dates.

Please note that NO special examination can be arranged for exchange students.

The original transcripts of records will be sent both to the students and partner institutions after the end of each examination session.

To the students who come to LUISS for the whole academic year or for the second semester, the

transcripts will be sent at the end of the first week of September. Our summer examination

session ends on July 24 and transcripts cannot be prepared before the session is over. Since the University closes in August, the transcripts can only be issued by the Student Office after the summer break.

Science, or Law. The courses are at three levels, beginners, intermediate and advanced; they are free of charge.

The courses are only open to Erasmus and Exchange students coming from partner

Universities and they are free of charge.

Students who would like to attend the course must specify so on their application form. The courses comprise at least:

 80 45-minute lessons for the beginners level;

 80 45-minute lessons for the intermediate level;

 60 45-minute lessons for the advanced level. Beginners Level

The course is for absolute and false beginners, students who have attended 0-30 hours of lessons. Its aim is to enable participants to communicate on topics of immediate relevance (for example, give basic personal and family details, make purchases, describe surroundings and explain one's job).

Intermediate Level

This level is for those who have already attended an Italian course and are able to communicate in everyday situations.

The principal aim of the course is to improve oral communication. Particular emphasis is placed on listening comprehension to enable students to take full advantage of lectures in their chosen field.

Advanced Level

This level is for those who are already proficient in the language and need to develop specialist language areas.

The main aim is to help the student reach a high standard of reading and writing skills. Extra curricular activities

These include:

 Film shows followed by discussion;  Meetings with Italian businessmen;  Talks by LUISS Guido Carli professors;

Italian language semester courses

During the academic year, students have weekly meetings with their Italian language teacher. This gives them the opportunity to discuss any problems they might have with their Italian and to learn more about their cultural environment.

The courses comprise three hours per week in both first and second semester. The main aim of the courses is to improve oral communication, reading and writing skills.

A traditional teaching approach is combined with methods that get students more involved, and they will be expected to improve their public-speaking skills, carry out in-depth research, and organize and manage work. Graduates will be in a position to face problems analytically but with a systemic approach, identify their effects – including collateral and involuntary ones – and implement highly significant solutions within an appropriate time frame. The course structure calls for mandatory attendance of a workshop (on the analysis of the socio-political-institutional dynamics of globalization) or an internship with international and EU organizations, diplomatic delegations, and private companies working on an international and/or EU level.

3.1) This course focuses on information flows and communication strategies in public bodies

and private enterprises as well as on communication in economic, institutional and geopolitical matters. It offers an advanced training to become “experts of communication” by using an interdisciplinary approach as well as the instruments of analysis and empiric research aimed to manage institutional intervention.

3.2) This course provides students with the skills and methods related to the main

institutional, legal, political and economical disciplines. Its objective is to work out government strategies for innovation, organization and management of public administration services.

Didactic activity is organised in semesters.

The Faculty employs a large number of experts, some of them coming from foreign universities and companies. These experts come from international bodies, the public administration and from different types of companies.
