Italy
The engineering education has been restructured since 2000-2001 into a 3+2- system.
-The first 3U Bachelor level cycle leads to the academic title of ” Dottore in Ingegneria” (followed by the specialisation conferred by the related class).
-The second level 5U cycle leads to the academic title of “Dottore Magistrale in Ingegneria” or ” Laurea Specialistica in Ingegneria” (transition period), followed by the specialisation conferred by the class. Each course of the second level lasts 2 years after the successful completion of a first level 3 years course of the Bachelor level cycle. Only the 5U- level corresponds to the CLAIU-EU “MERCURIUS” REGISTER.
