Can't "degree/bachelor in.." be confused with "laurea quadriennale" (vecchio ordinamento) ?

thankx

Ci sono molti post a questo riguardo. Puoi cercare thread analoghi con la funzione search. E' un ever ending matter. Detto semplicemente esistono differenze, ma considerando che anche i degree universitari di molti paesi al mondo hanno durata triennale, degree o bachelor sono entrambi termini corretti e appropriati. Se ti serve maggiore "legittimazione" sono i termini anche suggeriti dalla Comunità Europea per tale titolo di studio.

Qualora il post non fosse convincente e/o esauriente sono certo che potrai trovare molte altre opinioni utilizzando l' opzione "ricerca" su WR.

Thanks.

Please spell and punctuate properly.

Also, as Parergon notes,l there have been numerous prior discussions about translating laurea into English and bachelors/masters degree into Italian. Please add futher questions to one of those discussions. Grazie.

Ciao a tutti,

I know that this is a topic that has been discussed previously, but I could not find clarification on this point in the other discussions. I am trying to understand the Italian University system since the Riforma of 2001, but this does refer to language also.

The system of 3+2.
Does "primo livello" refer to the "laurea triennale" of three years, and does "secondo livello" refer exclusively to the "laurea magistrale" of two years?
And when one says "mi sto specializzando", does it refer exclusively again to the "secondo livello"/"laurea magistrale"?

If any part of what's above is wrong, la prego di correggermi.

Grazie.

The University of Pavia translates "laurea di primo livello" as "Bachelor" and "specialistica/magistrale (they are the same thing)" as "Degree" or "MA" (the latter only for Humanities).

Yes and yes.
The "laurea di secondo livello" is also called "laurea specialistica" (LS).
