Claudio Quintano Vice - Rector Erasmus ECTS Institutional Coordinator Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 7 The city of Naples: Living and Moving around the city Informations on the city of Naples The largest city of Naples, capital of the province and the region, a point of embarkation for emigrants in the past, Naples now has a large traffic of merchandise (petroleum, carbon, cereals) and passengers. It is the largest Italian port, with a noteworthy nexus of railway and highways and a large international airport. Naples is the largest city in south Italy and one of the most beautiful, particularly around the Bay of Naples. The capital city of Campania, Naples is the third most populated city in Italy (after Rome and Milan), with over a million inhabitants, and it is the most important industrial center and trading port for the South. It is a sprawling metropolis that was founded by Greeks, enlarged by Romans and as a result is rich in history and stunning architecture. In the vast urban area one can distinguish many different neighborhoods: the old center, characterized by buildings closely crowded together, is bordered on the west by the new administrative district and on the east by the business district, into which flows almost all the road and rail traffic. Other neighborhoods, with narrow climbing streets, rise around the base of the San Martino and Capodimonte hills. These neighborhoods have experienced intense development, typically of the simpler kind, in contrast to that of the residential neighborhoods that stretch out comfortably along the Vomero and Posillipo hills. Moving around the city The city is divided into 21 zones, and it has so many monuments that it is rightfully known as an open air museum. Meanwhile, here is a little guide to allow you to choose the most significant places of interest and tourist attractions, should you find yourself in this glorious city, but with time as your enemy. San Ferdinando - Chiaia - Posillipo - The places, monuments and landscapes in this triangle are probably the ones which have made Naples famous, and they also offer one of the best itineraries for tourists who would like to visit these areas. The tourist who lands in Naples finds themselves immediately immersed in the scenery of the Piazza Municipio which is itself dominated by the impressive mole of the Maschio Angioino or Castel Nuovo; the Teatro San Carlo, the splendid Galleria Umberto I and the spectacular Piazza del Plebiscito behind the façade of the majestic Palazzo Reale, the semicircular colonnade and the domes of the splendid Basilica di San Francesco di Paola are all close to one another and just waiting to be seen. Heading down towards the sea, you’ll come upon Santa Lucia and then Borgo Marinaro where the Castel dell’Ovo stands in all its glory. Chiaia - is the area which faces the bay; you must visit this area and take a long walk 8 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information along the promenade from Via Partenope past Via Caracciolo until Mergellina or stop by at Villa Comunale blessed with trees dating back centuries, neo classical statues, artistic fountains; it is here that you’ll find the oldest acquarium in Europe. The most important monument in the zone is the Villa Pignatelli which today is home to one of Naples museums. Posillipo - offers up the chance to enjoy a splendid view of the bay and the incredible mount Vesuvius, the promontory of Sorrento and the island of Capri. Looking eastwards, you will behold the Bay of Pozzuoli as well as the islands of Nisida, Ischia and Procida and the historical Campi Flegrei (Phlegrean Fields). Il Centro Antico - Naples is characterised by its uniformity in town planning. In fact, the quarters that makes up the ancient centre still faithfully adhere to the Greco-Roman plans for the city of Neapolis. In these quarters are layer upon layer of history which unfolds before the eyes of the unsuspecting visitor like an enormous history book. The alleyways overflowing with life in quarters such as San Lorenzo, San Giuseppe, Porto e Pendino are the same ones in which Greeks would trade and build temples during the 4th century. It is practically impossible to list all the monuments that you will find in the three decumani and the numerous side streets (i cardi) which run perpendicular to them, but mention must be made of the following churches: San Paolo Maggiore built upon the foundations of the tempio dei Dioscuri, (two columns of the temple are still visible), there is San Lorenzo Maggiore, underneath which are important archaelogical remains which the public are able to visit. These two churches are located in Piazza San Gaetano, the ancient Roman marketplace along Via dei Tribunali, the ancient decumanus maggiore. The church and street of San Gregorio Armeno are also worth a visit, this church was also built on the site of a temple. Via dei Tribunali ends in front of Castel Capuano, the oldest fort in the city built for Norman kings, behind it lies opening onto the Porta Capuana. Walking along Via Duomo, you’ll come across the Cathedral dedicated to San Gennaro, the city’s patron, the cathedral seems to be in a place that doesn’t seem grand enough for such an important building, the Duomo which incorporates the ancient basilica of Santa Restituta built on the orders of Constantine, and the Battistero di San Giovanni in Fonte which is the oldest baptistery in the western world. Beneath the Duomo lie ancient archaeological sites, which you can visit. The stratification begins with the ancient Greek and finishes with the Middle Ages. The Museo Civico Filangieri is also located in Via Duomo and is housed inside the Palazzo Como which was built during the Renaissance. Piazzetta Nilo is situated on Via San Biagio dei Librai, and in which you’ll find a 2000 years old statue, Statua del Corpo di Napoli. Following the axis of Spaccanapoli you will find other examples of Neapolitan culture: in Piazza San Domenico Maggiore you will find the basilica of the same name and numerous palazzi from the Aragon and Spanish era with the Guglia which was dedicated to the Saint at the centre. The Cappella di San Severo is also worth a visit. Piazza del Gesù Nuovo yields such treasures as the Chiesa di Santa Chiara, the Chiostro delle Clarisse, the 16th century façade of the Gesù Nuovo and the Guglia dell’Immacolata. The San Giovanni Maggiore, was built on the remains Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 9 of the 4th century temple of Hercules and faces the piazza of San Giovanni where the chapel of San Giovanni di Pappacoda contains a stupendous Gothic doorway. The primary university faculties and museums are housed in these historic piazzas. Il Centro Storico - The quarters of the Centro Storico are natural extensions of the Centro Antico, which represent the Medieval and Renaissance developments reaching to the Spanish viceroys and the Neapolitan Bourbons. The Spanish quarters; the elegant Via Toledo with its historic palazzi and churches that contain the masterpieces of 17th century Neapolitan painters; Piazza Monteoliveto which contains Palazzo Gravina, the Fontana built in honour of Carlos II of Spain and the church Sant’Anna dei Lombardi with a wealth of Renaissance treasures, Piazza Dante with the 18th century façade of the National Boarding School il Convitto Nazionale and Port’Alba, where the lazzari di Masaniello got the better of the cannons of the Viceroy. The Museo Archeologico Nazionale is one of the most important museums of its kind and is located in Piazza. The Porta San Gennaro is located in Piazza Cavour and its one of the oldest gateways in the city. Via S. Maria di Costantinopoli has many palazzi such as the Accademia di Belle Arti and many dazzling churches. In Piazza Bellini one can still see traces of ancient Greek city walls; Piazza della Sanità holds the 17th century Chiesa di Santa Maria under which are the San Gaudosio Catacombs; the zona dei Vergini e zona delle Fontanelle, are ancient areas used for burial in Greco-Roman Naples, other places of interest in the immediate vicinity are: Via Foria; Piazza Carlo III which has an enormous façade (375 m. long) the Albergo dei Poveri and the Orto Botanico; Corso Garibaldi and the piazza of the same name, which is now the headquarters of Central Station; Corso Umberto with the Neo-classical style University of Federico II; Piazza Bovio with the Palazzo della Borsa and the famous Fontana del Nettuno; Piazza Mercato, the back drop to dramatic events in Neapolitan history adjacent to this piazza is Piazza del Carmine; all of these places are representative but not unique to the zones which developed and grew into the centro antico. The Quartieri Collinari - These are hill zones which were developed at the end of the 19th century as a residential district for the Neapolitan bourgeoisie il Vomero underwent radical changes in the ’50s and ’70s which has made it into one of the busiest and most chaotic areas in the city. It is linked to surrounding areas by three funicolar railways, but it still retains among some of the city’s most important monuments. Castel Sant’Elmo and the Certosa di San Martino, were built around 1350, and dominate the city from above. Today, La Certosa houses the National Museum of San Martino, which shows collections, paintings scupltures, documents and relics of Neapolitan tradition, amongst other things. Villa Floridiana was given by King Ferdinando of Bourbon to his second wife; it consists of a park, at the centre of which stands a small palace which is now a museum (the Museo della Ceramica Duca di Martina). The attentive tourist can’t let a visit to the catacombs of San Gennaro escape him. The catacombs were dug from the yellow tuff of the Aminei hills in the Capodimonte at the beginning of the second century. The galleries, which 10 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information create a kind of underground basilica leave a lasting impression on the unsuspecting traveller. The sepulchre of San Gennaro and the tombs of the bishops, amongst whom lies the bishop of Carthage. Inside the Palazzo Reale di Capodimonte (a palace built in 1738 and surrounded by a large park and a wood which acted as a hunting ground), is the with its collections and the National Gallery with its extensive art gallery. The Zona Flegrea Fuorigrotta - is part of this area, it is a modern residential zone where the Rai has its headquarters, as does the Politecnico; it is the new headquarters of the Universitaria, and important sports complexes such as Stadio San Paolo and the Mostra d’Oltremare headquarters of many important tradefairs, of the Zoo, Edenlandia a large theme park; Bagnoli is an ex industrial zone and is now home to the Città della Scienza, of the old shed steelworks on banks facing the island of Nisida; Agnano was the seat of ancient and the famous Ippodromo (racecourse) with a nearby nature reserve, where several protected species, are cared for by the W.W.F. Numerous Roman remains can be found all around this area. The peripheral zones do not offer much of interest to the tourist: these zones are mainly industrial or ex-agricultural zones which have been destroyed over the years by cement which has been dumped here as the city tries to find space in which to expand.

Regional recipes tend to contain highly spiced, robust, simple ingredients. Specialities in Naples include pizza, spaghetti dishes such as spaghetti alle vongole (a clam pasta dish), impepata di cozze (a delicious mussel based dish) and many grilled fish and seafood dishes. Many restaurants in Naples also serve fresh oysters, ‘cannolicchi’ and ‘taratufi’, which are locally harvested. Meals and Courses Colazione, or prima colazione, (breakfast), pranzo (lunch) and cena (dinner) are the primary Italian meals. An Italian’s breakfast constitutes of little more than a cup of strong coffee and brioche (jam or custard filled buns), though bars and cafés do serve a choice of cold meats in rolls. Locals in Naples tend to eat lunch (pranzo) at around 13:00 and dinner (cena), the main meal of the day from 20:00 onwards. Menus for lunch and dinner do not vary greatly and both meals consist of several courses. Antipasto (Starters) Typical antipastos in Naples may include tasty ham, which can be raw or cooked, a variety of salami, fresh seafood, olives and crostini (toasted pieces of bread coated in garlic and olive oil and topped with tomato, anchovy or liver paste). Primo Piatto (First Course) Italian first courses tend to be pasta, polenta, rice or soup based, traditionally designed to fill up the diner before the main meat or fish course. Common to Naples, as a coastal city, is ‘cacciucco’ (fish soup). Secondo Piatto (Main Course) Meat or fish are the mainstay of this course. These can be served alone as in the case of the dish ‘arrosto misto’ - a variety of roasted meats, such as chicken (pollo), lamb (agnello) and pork (maiale), or with an optional contoni (side dish) of vegetables or salad (insalata). Side dishes are usually at an extra cost to the meal. Dolce (Pudding) The dessert course in Italian cuisine is not generally its strongest point and so diners may wish to opt for fruit (frutta), puff pastries or a selection of cheese (formaggio). Popular cheeses in Naples are ‘pecorino’ (made from sheep’s milk) and ‘ricotta’. Frequently, Italians will round off a meal with a black coffee (espresso). Pizzerias in Naples Naples is full of lively Pizzerias and they are usually filled with a wide cross-section of people, such as students, tourists, professionals and locals. They are a very popular place to dine in Naples and offer high quality pizzas made with only the finest ingredients.

Naples Travel by Car / Car Rental Traffic in Naples is often heavy and driving in the city centre can be quite an experience, as Italian’s tend to drive fast and can be somewhat impatient. Parking in the centre can also prove difficult. Although the city can become rather chaotic at peak times, a car provides a very convenient way to travel outside of the city centre. In Italy, people drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left. Many car rental agencies are available and there is a particularly good selection of these at Naples Capodichino Airport. Naples Travel by Taxi Taxis in Naples are one of the most popular means of transport in the city, especially for business purposes, although they can prove an expensive way to travel. They can normally be found lined up at stands or on main squares and can also be called by phone. There may be some supplements, such as luggage or late night charges, that do not appear on the meter and so it may be useful to ask about these before leaving. Try to negotiate the taxi fare in advance if possible, to avoid overcharging. You should only use the official licensed taxis, which are clearly identified by the taxi sign on the roof and a numbered shield on the side. Arriving by train The main railway station of Naples is located in Piazza Garibaldi, in the city centre and is connected by various urban buses.

Naples Climate Chart The following are the normal daily temperature ranges for Naples: Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 21 Tips for Using the Euro The Euro is made up of eight coins and seven paper notes and was introduced on January 1, 2002. The 12 members of the European Union - Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain - planned the event for more than a decade, determining a conversion rate for each country’s national currency. The colourful Euro bills, which include holograms and shades of green, yellow, blue, mauve, and orange, are identical across the Euro area. Coins have one common and one national side, but they can be used in any of the member countries, regardless of the country of issue. Old currencies are no longer accepted, although they can still be converted to Euros in central banks. Housing/Accomodation The Parthenope University does not have any student housing facilities. There is no residential campus at the Parthenope University, and most students do not live in Naples, so Erasmus students rent private apartements which they usually share in groups of three or four.

The I.U.N. always exerced an important activity of research finalized to the enlargement of the cultural horizons and, at the same time, to the adequacy of the proccess of formation to the changes in progress in the economic-productive activities and the labour market. This effort of adequacy was developed in order to maintain, by reinforcing them, the scientific and cultural interests of the Institute and to extend the spectrum of interests to the sets of themes defining today, the new rules of the international competing confrontation. The Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” (hereafter, “Parthenope University”) is born following the revision of the Statute of the I.U.N.; a revision which modifies the University in a significant degree, establishing (of it) the status of University reached throughout a structural, cultural and dimensional growth which, from the second half of the years ’80, constantly continues, by following anticipating the requirements of formation and those scientific ones but also, of a characterized territorial reality on the one hand; and by a fast evolution and the permanence of the embarrassments and the heritages difficult to exceed, on the other hand, which have a significant incidence on its futurologies of growth. Today the University is presented in the form of an university structure of average size, with a number of students in constant growth and which counts today 1500 units, constituiting the population of the students destined to stabilize itself according to the programming made by the University with the threshold of the 20.000-25.000 in the next years. This growth in the population of the students which constituted the reason of the expansion of the University in a way that it knew to interpret it such as a latent social or virtual request coming from the context, could take place only thanks to the race of expansion undertaken by the University; a formative expansion which related to either the offer suggested by the University that infrastructures necessary: one refers to the whole of the buildings, the human resources, the equipments being useful to the didactic and research activities, which had to adapt to the new dimension and the new role that the University, more and more, was going to embrace. If we examine the Parthenope University in relation with the new institutional activities, in terms of didactic offer to the citizen, we consider the evolution which obviously it recorded: it was an institution characterized by the specificity and the unicity of the professionalisation offered, and which thought to safeguard its own traditional specificity 28 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information and, developing at the same time, its capacity to give an adequate, existing or latent answer that the context expresses. Today the Parthenope University counts 5 faculties: the Faculty of Economics, with its five courses of laurea and four courses of diploma; the Faculty of Scienze Nautiche, the only one in Italy; the Faculty of Law, with two courses of laurea and its seats decentralized in the communes (which are already seats of Court); the Faculty of Ingegneria, with the course of laurea in “Ingegneria delle Telecomunicazioni”; the Faculty of Scienze Motorie, instituted after the trasformation of the ISEF Naples and with the assistance of the Faculties of Medicina of the Universities in Naples. The formative offer is destined to develop again thanks to the entry into force of the university reform, introduced on the initiative of the Minister Zecchino within the framework of the process of triennalisation of the courses of laurea, the transformation in a course of laurea, of the active diplomas awarded at the University and for which does not exist, in the university seat, a correspondent course of laurea. The activities of orientation had a strong impulse and they are in the center of the attention in the new triennial plan of development of the Universities which are reaching results is in the orientation of the young bachelors to a correct choice of their own formative course and in the connection increasingly more strict with the Professional Orders and the labour market and even, in the activity of orientation in itinere, aiming at combining the abandonment of the studies which has an incidence such to exceed the average values recorded within the European Union. This significant and diversified growth could take place only thanks to one town-planning materializing the choices of site and relationship with the territory, at the base of the general policy undertaken by the University. A town-planning made possible by the Protocollo d’Intesa signed by the Ministry for the University, the Town Hall of Naples and the University for the joint continuation in the development, the valorization and the territorial reorganization of the structures of the University and at the same time of the covering and the requalification of the perifery of the Town of Naples, its Central storico and the zone of Bagnoli. The University seats. The Chief seat of the Parthenope University is in Naples at the street Ammiraglio Ferdinando Acton and it consists in a historical building, the so-called “Palazzina Spagnola”, which dates back to the sixteenth century and a modern construction industry carried out at the end of the years ’60. The historical establishment is consisted by a State building leaned against the Caste Nuovo, built at the sixteenth century to accomodate the “Officine della Real Fonderia”. This building, until the eighteenth century, with the Real Montatura delle Armi, with the Corpo della Real Guardia and the Arsenale d’Artiglieria were the core of the structures of defense and fortification of the Castel Nuovo, whose enclosing wall was the only one to defend the city. The requirement to have to make face with the power of the Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 29 artilleries brought to the necessary construction of a news courtine where they would gather the buildings assigned to the housing of the troops, the deposit of the ammunition and the construction of the weapons. This structure didn’t change until the approval, in 1885, of the law of clearance of the city of Naples bringing to a project of radical transformation of the urban fabric, whose works envisaged to clear many zones and in particular, that harbour one. In particular, in order to insulate the fortress, the Castel Nuovo, considered as being a national monument in oneself and, for the Arco Aragonese of entry, they decided to change place to the military buildings in places more suited by the construction of a foundry and a new Arsenale d’ Artiglieria and in the zone of Rione Arenaccia. The State building became available for a new assignment and in 1949 it was given in use to our University. Villa Doria D’Angri This monumental complex is one of most recent acquisitions of the University, which was carried out thanks to a ministerial cofinancing. It consists in the monumental Villa Doria d’Angri, built in 1880 and commissioned by Prince Marcantonio Doria; and, of the complex which was already seat of the Santa Dorotea Institute. They measure a complessive surface is of more than 18000 square meters. The Villa Doria d’Angri represents the expression of the largest artists and craftsmen of the time and in spite of the incurie of the time, still keeps much of its last splendour. Some works of completion and those of restoration of the Villa are currently in hand, being cofinanced by the European Union. It is the seat of international meetings, of seminars and initiatives of particular importance. The Church of San Giorgio Genovesi The Church of San Giorgio Genovesi, conceded in commodate by the Curia of Naples is the seat of seminars and cultural initiatives and even, of fairs and conferences. It extends on an overall surface interns of 644 square meters with that of the square which is of 342 square meters and it is located at the street Medina. The Church represents at the same time, a point of meeting and fruition for all entities: the cultural movements and groups which have an important influence in the exercise of the institutional research and didactic activities. This restoration will defer the monumental complex to its last splendour. The Nola seat The activities of the Faculty of Law to Nola are received by the Santa Chiara monastic complex of, of property of Diocese in Nola, in waiting for the availability of Reggia Orsini, in the same city becoming the decentralized seat of the courses of Faculty. 30 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information The Santa Chiara Church The older building of the monastic complex was built between the years 1310-1330 on the foundations of a Romance existing structure, by the Bishop of Nola, Pietro V and of the Count Roberto Orsini. In continuation, it was increased and restructured by the Nicolò’s son, enriched with Gothic modernizations of the already existing factories. In successive times, the complex, enriched by estimables tables was still increased by the construction of the church, the so-called Chiesa Nuova, of low-baroque style with more neo-classic accents. With this one has be added new to dormoir, whose architect was Sanfelice, workshop of factory throughout the street Santa Chiara, whose visiting room represents the true jewel. Medina street It is the seat of the departments of the Faculty of Economics. De Gasperi street This building is held on a lease and it receives the Institutes of the Faculties of Scienze Nautiche and Economia and even, some rooms and administratifs offices. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information First Plan 31 32 Second Plan Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 33 The internationalisation process at the Parthenope University The turning point in the development of European higher education area seems to be the Sorbonne 1998 and Bologna 1999 declarations. These declarations have changed very rapidly to a process. The Sorbonne Declaration, “Joint Declaration on harmonisation of the architecture of the European higher education system” signed by Italy, France, Germany and the United Kingdom on 25th May 1998, underlined the central role of universities in the construction and development of a “Europe of Knowledge” and one year later on 19th June 1999, the Bologna Declaration “Joint Declaration of the European Ministers of Education”, signed by 29 European countries to reform the structures of their higher education systems in a convergent way, drew up a proposal for the creation of a European Higher Education Space. It signifies a commitment by national governments to the principle of “Europeanization” of higher education, through the increased cooperation of institutions. The aim isn’t a “standardisation” or “uniformisation” of European higher education, but a harmonization of the architecture of the higher education system. That’s means that the fundamental principles of autonomy and diversity are respected. The Declaration, in fact, specifically recognises the fundamental values and the diversity of European higher education. 34 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information The Bologna Declaration sets the deadline for achieving this goal by the year 2010 and calls upon the signatory countries to implement a clear set of objectives aimed at increasing levels of employability and mobility in Europe as well as improving the competitiveness of European Higher Education in the world: 1. the adoption of a framework of readable and comparable degrees, also through the implementation of the Diploma Supplement; 2. the introduction of undergraduate an postgraduate levels in all countries, with first degrees no shorter than three years and relevant to the labour market; 3. ECTS-compatible credit system also covering lifelong learning activities; 4. a European dimension in quality assurance, with comparable criteria and methods; 5. the elimination of remaining obstacles to the free mobility of students (as well as trainees and graduates) and teachers (as well as researchers and higher education administrators). Two types of mobility are distinguished: horizontal mobility (students get credits from other institutions, most often in other countries) and vertical mobility (students holding a Bachelor’s Degree change universities and possibly subject and/or country for their postgraduate studies); 6. promotion of the European dimensions in higher education. Several factors have been pushing the signatory partners of “Bologna” towards a more substantial commitment to the process. They have been preparing and implementing substantial reforms in their higher education systems. There is no country today which has not found it essential to search for complex answers for its future, also through the educational system; there is no country which has not put the reform of higher education high on its political agenda. Through the new following mentioned steps of the bologna process, the countries and institutions express their common conviction of that national higher education systems should become more comparable and compatible but also more attractive on a global scale: For a brief description of important developments achieved in order to contribute to the European dimension in higher education, please refer to the CRUI Website and its Section “Internazionalizzazione”: www.crui.it • Bergen (website) • Glasgow (pdf) • Berlino (pdf) • Graz (pdf) • Praga (pdf) • Salamanca (pdf) • Bologna (pdf) • Sorbona (pdf) • Trends I | II | III | IV Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 35 Socrates/Erasmus Socrates è il programma co-finanziato dalla CEE per consentire la mobilità degli studenti tra Atenei di paesi diversi da quelli di appartenza. La sezione di SOCRATES dedicata all’Istruzione superiore “ERASMUS” prosegue ed estende il Programma d’azione comunitario in materia di mobilità degli studenti. Le finalità sono quelle di consentire uno scambio di esperienze e lo sviluppo di una “dimensione europea” in tutta la gamma di programmi accademici universitari. La partecipazione dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” a questo programma consente ai propri studenti, di seguire all’estero corsi ufficiali che saranno riconosciuti dall’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” (università di origine) e di procedere alla preparazione parziale o totale della tesi. Attraverso la predisposizione di un Contratto Istituzionale, l’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope ha in atto una convenzione, che prevede (in particolare per la Facoltà di Economia) l’attivazione di scambi con le seguenti Istituzioni: (in particolare per la Facoltà di Economia) l’Universidad Pompeu Fabra (BarcellonaSpagna), l’Université de Savoie (Chambéry-Francia), l’Université Libre de Bruxelles (Bruxelles-Belgio) la Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien (Vienna-Austria), l’Università di Bratislava (Bratislava, Slovenia), Technische Universitat (Chemnitz Germania) (in particolare per la Facoltà di Scienze Motorie) la Humboldt - Universitat zu Berlin (Berlino-Germania), l’Université Joseph Fourier (Francia) e l’Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis. (in particolare per la Facoltà di Scienze e Tecnologie) l’Université de Perpignan (Francia), Universidad de Granada(Spagna), la Slovenska Zdravotnicka Universita (Slovacchia), la Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Svezia) e l’Universidade de Lisboa (Portogallo). La convenzione, che viene rinnovata di anno in anno, prevede che gli studenti interessati a concorrere per l’ottenimento delle borse di studio nell’ambito di detto programma, abbiano specifici requisiti. Informazioni dettagliate sul programma sono disponibili sul sito: http://www.uniparthenope.it/afgen/start.htm The SOCRATES II programme supports European cooperation in eight areas, from school to higher education, from new technologies to adult learners. The higher education section of SOCRATES II (“ERASMUS”) continues and extends the European Community Action Scheme for the Mobility of University Students (the “ERASMUS programme”), established in 1987. It is named after the philosopher, theologian and humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam (1465-1536). An untiring adversary of dogmatic thought in all fields of human endeavour, Erasmus lived and worked in several parts of Europe, in quest of the knowledge, experience and insights which only such contacts with other countries could bring. 36 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Objectives Higher education plays a crucial role in producing high quality human resources, disseminating scientific discovery and advanced knowledge through teaching, adapting to the constantly emerging needs for new competences and qualifications, and educating future generations of citizens in a European context. All such functions are of vital importance to the long-term development of Europe. The increasing speed at which existing knowledge becomes obsolete, and the rapid changes in the means by which it is delivered and renewed, will require the higher education sector to adopt new methods and commit itself wholeheartedly to the provision of lifelong learning. Against this background, ERASMUS contains a wide range of measures designed to support the European activities of higher education institutions and to promote the mobility and exchange of their teaching staff and students. Participating countries Adopted on 24 January 2000 and spanning the period until the end of 2006, SOCRATES and its Erasmus action are now open to the participation of 30 countries: the 15 Member States of the European Union; the three EEA countries (Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and twelve associated countries: Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, the Slovak Republic, Poland, Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus. Key features As in the past, ERASMUS is open to all types of higher education institutions (for which the term “universities” is generally used), all academic disciplines and all levels of higher education study up to and including the doctorate. While the promotion of ‘physical mobility’, mainly of students, constituted the main thrust of ERASMUS Phase I and II, the higher education Chapter of SOCRATES seeks to integrate such mobility into a wider framework of cooperation activities which aim at developing a “European Dimension” within the entire range of a university’s academic programmes. “Bringing students to Europe, bringing Europe to all students” is the new spirit of ERASMUS: while student mobility retains a position of central importance within the programme, stronger incentives are now available to encourage universities to add a European perspective to the courses followed by students who do not participate directly in mobility. More emphasis is consequently placed on teaching staff exchanges, transnational curriculum development and pan-european thematic networks. Wider dissemination of and participation in the results of this work are sought through specific support. ERASMUS also encourages universities to associate other public and private bodies from their surrounding regions with their transnational cooperation activities, thereby enhancing opportunities for inter-regional cooperation between the participating countries. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 37 From 1987/88 to 1999/2000, about 750.000 University students have spent an Erasmus period abroad and more than 1.800 Universities (or other Higher Education institutions) are presently participating in the programme. The EU budget of SOCRATES/Erasmus for 2000-2006 amounts to around 950 Mio € (of which approximately 750 Mio € for students grants). Additional funds are provided in each Country by public authorities, by the universities themselves and by other organisations. The Parthenope University pursues its efforts beyond the above-mentioned european programme and maintains its international relations with the Universidad Pompeu Fabra (Barcellona-Spagna), l’Université de Savoie (ChambéryFrancia), the Université Libre de Bruxelles (Bruxelles-Belgio) the Wirtschaftsuniversitat Wien (Vienna-Austria), the Università di Bratislava (Bratislava, Slovenia), Technische Universitat (Chemnitz Germania), with a priority for the international exchanges opportunities open to the students at the Faculty of Economics and the Faculty of Law. the Humboldt – Universitat zu Berlin (Berlino-Germania), the Université Joseph Fourier (Francia), the Université de Nice Sophia Antipolis with a priority for the international exchanges opportunities open to the students at the Faculty of Sport Science. the Université de Perpignan (Francia), Universidad de Granada(Spagna), the Slovenska Zdravotnicka Universita (Slovacchia), the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (Svezia) and the Universidade de Lisboa (Portogallo) with a priority for the international exchanges opportunities open to the students at the Faculty of Science and Technology. Additional Informations: http://www.uniparthenope.it/afgen/start.htm The Tempus programme A Higher Education Cooperation scheme between EU Member States and Partner Countries The first phase of the Tempus programme was established in 1990 to respond to the needs for Higher Education reform in Central and Eastern European countries, following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 (‘Tempus I’, 1990-1993). Since then, the programme has been renewed three times (Tempus II, Tempus IIbis and Tempus III - 2000-2006). Today more than ever there is a need for cooperation between countries in the field of education and a parallel need to enhance understanding between cultures. As the Tempus III decision (of 29/04/99) states: “cooperation on higher education strengthens and deepens the whole fabric of relations existing between the peoples of Europe, brings out common cultural values, allows fruitful exchanges of views to take place and facilitates multinational activities in the scientific, cultural, artistic, economic and social spheres”. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information ★ ★★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ TEMPUS JEP Joint European Project ★ ★ ★ 38 ★ ★ ★ “New Study Programs in International Economic Law at KNEU” The Parthenope University is one of the partner universities in a Joint European Project ( JEP) with the The Kiev National Economics University within the framework of the well-Known European Program Tempus-Tacis. The other Universities partners are the University of Vienna (Austria) and the University of Newcastle. The general objective of the project is to develop a multi-field university formation meeting the European standards in relation with the social business reality. From 11th March to 14th March 2004 took place the first visit of the Ukrainian delegation from the Kiev National Economics University to the Parthenope University in Naples This visit was conducted in parallel with the activity 1.2 “Consultations with specialists of the Partner Universities” of the work-plan for 2003/2004 project year, and coordinated by professor Claudio Quintano, dean of the Faculty of Economics of the Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope”. This coordination meeting between these two partner universities aimed to: • identify the range of topics to study during the three week training for KNEU faculty members and four month training for KNEU students in Naples; • collect all teaching and course materials for the above stage; • identify the new teachings and courses to add and include in the Bachelor’s Degree Program; • propose the Master’s Degree Program in International Economic Law; • establish the new chair in International and European Law and give advice and support in the recruitment of its holder and staff; • establish a new specialised Library of International and European Law within the Law Department of Kiev National Economics University (and a specialised lab for curriculum supporting materials) and support in its management, particularly suggesting about the recruitment of an appropriate library staff and the collect of a specialized literature (including all study materials and all other necessary facilities). It will be a question of training some future specialised officials who could support public institutions in the management of foreign and international relationships and also act within International Economic Organizations. The project aims at creating new specializations. It thus acts, to define new study programs in International Economic Law (Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree), either by Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 39 adaptation of the existing teachings and courses, or by creation of some other new. This objective was recently achieved following a co-operation between parts from different universities. A little delegation of the Ukrainian teaching staff recently carried out a three weeks training. It was a question of cooperating to the development of the teachings and courses to add and include in the named new study programs and of transmitting to them our didactic engineering in the international economic field. During the meeting, all members present formulated proposals on fundamental and compulsory courses and teachings in International law, International Economic Law, European Union Law and also in International Organization and International Co-operation. Professor Claudio Quintano focused his attention on one of the important components of the Bologna Declaration such as the adoption of the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS). He explained the structure and methods of adoption and management of this new system, being strictly connected to a complete and correct drafting of the new study programs. From 5th May to 8th March 2005 took place the second visit of the Ukrainian delegation from the Kiev National Economics University to the Parthenope University in Naples This visit was conducted in parallel with the activity 1.2 “Consultations with specialists of the Partner Universities” of the work-plan for 2004/2005 project year, and coordinated by professor Claudio Quintano, dean of the Faculty of Economics of the Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope”. This coordination meeting between these two partner universities aimed to: • discuss on the Bachelor’s Degree and Master’s Degree and their structure on the basis of a presentation and some inputs requested from the EU partners; • decide on the work modalities of the KNEU lecturers during their in service training periods at the Parthenope University; • take final decisions on the joint textbook to publish; • give some additional informations on the Chair in International and European Law and its holders and staff. On the basis of the JEC work plan, it was also a question of deciding on the books’ purchase for the Library of International and European Law within the Law Department of Kiev National Economics University, planning the work activities for 2005/2006 project year and finally proposing all possible amendments to the JEP Web pages. 40 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information The Italian Higher Education system Constitutional principles and aims The main principles that lay the foundations for the Italian education system, and in particular higher education, are set down in the Italian Constitution that was adopted in 1947. Article 33 of the constitution states that “… art and science are free and the teaching thereof shall be free”. In defence of academic freedom, the article also states that all higher education institutions “have the right to establish their own regulations autonomously, within the limits set by national legislation”. Furthermore, Article 34 of the constitution establishes the principle of the right of individual citizens to higher education: “All those who can prove the necessary competency and commitment have a right to pursue the highest levels of education, regardless of their financial means.” As defined by law, the main purpose of higher education, is twofold - to promote scientific progress of the nation and to provide all citizens with education and training that will lead to employment. The New Reform The harmonisation of the Italian High Education system with European pattern is among the declared aims of the reform. It is evident how, in its developing, the reform followed the European general policy. In October 1997, Italian Ministry for Education, University and Research (hereafter, “MIUR”, ex MURST) promoted a study on the situation of High Education in Italy - the Martinotti document, which strongly suggests the introduction of the ECTS system and referrers constantly to the European Commission’s document on “Towards a Europe of Knowledge”, without mentioning any modifications in the cycles of study. On the 16th of June 1998, MIUR (ex MURST) issued the following document, where it referred only to a general European policy and tendency, in accordance to which, it explained the objectives of the reform to pursue in the framework of progressive harmonisation of the Italian system to the European one, as stated in the Lisbon Convention on the recognition of high degrees and in the art. 126 of the Maastricht Treaty, in view of the establishment of a European educational area. The real turning point is represented by Italy which provided the legal framework for the reform of the Italian University System, thanks to which, it seems to have reached broadly the objective to adopt a system of easily readable and comparable degrees. The Ministerial Decree 509/99 was then updated in 2004. The new structure of the Italian Higher Education organized on three different cycles: Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Schema del Sistema Universitario in Italia Scheme of the University System in Italy (DM 509/99 then updated in 2004) 41 42 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Objectives of the reform The ministerial decree no. 509 of 3rd November 1999 established the new framework and identified the general criteria for universities to autonomously design their new degree courses. The first objective of the reform is the implementation of teaching autonomy. This means that universities lay down the regulations for their degree courses, establishing the names and learning outcomes, the general framework for different teaching/learning activities that must be included in the curriculum, the credits allocated to each subject course and the type of final exam to obtain the qualification. The second objective of the reform is to bring the Italian Higher Education System in line with the European two-tier university model as established in the Sorbonne and Bologna Declarations. This model is seen as a tool for harmonising European degree structures as well as promoting international student mobility, free circulation of labour and international academic recognition, the goals for the European Higher Education Area in 2010. To meet these aims, Italy has reformed its higher education in two distinct sectors – the university and the non-university sector, the latter comprising mainly arts, music and language mediation as well as post secondary technical education and training (Istruzione e Formazione tecnica superiore). The third objective of the reform is to make the Italian university system more student centred. It has introduced asystem of credits (Crediti Formativi Universitari) based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS). One of the objectives of this new credit system is to reduce the gap between legal and real duration of university courses and curb the dropout rate. The fourth objective of the reform is to increase flexibilityand quality within the system. This means simplified procedures that enable universities to adapt their courses according to demands for education and to changes in the labour market along with effective quality assessment systems. Once all the different stages of the reform have been introduced, the following outcomes are expected: • Fall indrop out rate • Reduction in time to degree • Lowering of average age of graduates • Increase in number of people with university qualification • Improvement in conditions of employability • Equal opportunities in Europe It is expected that further reforms will take place in the coming years in order to reach these objectives. This decree issued in 1999 was then updated in 2004 to bring Italy into line with Bologna. Students can pursue a laurea magistrale (5 years) or a laurea plus master di livello (3+12). Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 43 I crediti formativi universitari Il credito formativo universitario (CFU) rappresenta l’unità di misura del lavoro richiesto ad uno studente per ogni attività formativa svolta per conseguire un titolo di studio universitario. Il regolamento sull’autonomia didattica (DM 509/99) associa ad ogni credito un valore in ore di lavoro pari a 25 ore e quindi a 1500 ore di lavoro annue pari a circa 60 CFU per anno. Le attività formative organizzate dalla Facoltà sono pari ad 8 ore delle 25 sancite per ogni CFU. Le rimanenti ore sono a disposizione dello studente per lo svolgimento di ulteriori attività, compreso il tempo dedicato allo studio individuale. Il lavoro di un anno corrisponde convenzionalmente a 60 CFU.I CFU vengono attribuiti per l’attività formativa tipica che è il corso di insegnamento, cui segue un esame che valuta la qualità e quantità dell’apprendimento del singolo studente. Il lavoro formativo svolto dallo studente consiste nelle ore di lezione, di esercitazione, di laboratorio, di seminario, etc. richieste dal corso di insegnamento, cui vanno anche aggiunte le ore di studio personale, o comunque di impegno individuale non formalizzato, per completare la formazione richiesta per il superamento dell’esame. Per le altre attività formative (tesi, progetti, tirocini, conoscenza della lingua straniera, avviamento all’uso degli strumenti informatici di produttività personale, addestramento alle abilità comunicative o relazionali e al lavoro di gruppo, etc.) la misura dei crediti viene effettuata in modo simile, calcolando le ore di lavoro a carico dello studente. Le attività formative richieste per il conseguimento del titolo di I livello (laureato in...) e il relativo numero di CFU, fino al totale di 180, sono determinate con l’unico limite del rispetto dei valori minimi indicati dal decreto per ciascuna tipologia di attività formativa e, eventualmente, per ciascun ambito disciplinare, nonché del raggiungimento degli obiettivi formativi qualificanti della classe. University educational credits The university reform has introduced a system of university credits (Crediti Formativi Universitari) in Italy for the first time. The principal objective has been to make studies more student-centred, reducing the gap between official and real length of courses as well as lowering the drop out rate. The main characteristics of the system are as follows: 1. the credits represent the total student workload (class time, individual study, exam preparation, practical work etc) and one credit is equivalent to 25 hours; 2. the average full time workload for one academic year is 60 credits which is equivalent to 1500 hours. Universities may opt to increase or decrease this total workload by maximum 20% (1200-1800 hours) but they must justify this change; 3. the amount of time to be reserved for individual learning or other individual educational and training activities may not be lower than 50%, except for the courses including practical or laboratory work; 44 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 4. credits are earned once the student has passed the assessment for each course or activity; 5. the total or partial recognition of credits obtained by students wishing to continue their studies in a different degree programme or different institution is at the discretion of the educational authority concerned, in accordance with the criteria and procedures of the university teaching regulations; 6. teaching regulations of each university can provide for regular reassessment of credit allocation and indicate the minimum number of credits to be achieved within a fixed period of time (in the case of full or part time studies); 7. universities can recognise credits for professional skills and experience according to the regulations as well as other skills and knowledge acquired in post-secondary level courses that have been designed and taught in collaboration with the university. The ministerial decree also establishes the number of credits for each degree. Le classi Costituiscono dei raggruppamenti di corsi di laurea secondo una classificazione dei saperi che sono o potranno essere insegnati nelle università. Tutti i corsi di laurea che gli atenei istituiranno in una determinata classe condivideranno gli obiettivi formativi qualificanti e le attività formative indispensabili indicati nel decreto. I corsi di laurea attivati dagli Atenei si differenzieranno tra loro (in regime di autonomia didattica) per la denominazione, per gli obiettivi formativi specifici e, soprattutto, per la scelta dettagliata delle attività formative che saranno richieste agli studenti per conseguire la singola laurea e del relativo carico di lavoro espresso in crediti, rispettando naturalmente i valori minimi fissati dal decreto. Le classi delle lauree di I livello fissate dal DM 509/99 e successive modificazioni sono 42 e sono elencate negli allegati al decreto. Le classi delle lauree di II livello fissate dal DM 509/99 e successive modificazioni sono 104 e sono elencate negli allegati al decreto. Alcune delle lauree attuali e molte delle future, pur continuando a mantenere la loro specificità, verranno a far parte della medesima classe. Classification of Courses The Ministry has drawn up a classification of degree courses of the same level. There are 47 different classes for the first degree Laurea and 109 different classes for the second degree (Laurea Magistrale ). Degree courses may be given different names by the different universities but they have the same learning outcomes and teaching/learning activities. Degree courses of the same class have the same legal value. All classes belong to one of the five subject areas – engineering and architecture, health, humanities, science and technology, law and economics. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 45 Each degree programme must cover 6 different types of subject courses as follows: a. basic education courses in one or more fields of study; b. specific courses related to the degree programme; c. courses in one or more similar or supplementary subject fields; d. elective courses; e. preparatory courses for the final examination (including the assessment of foreign language skills for the Laurea; f. further courses aimed at improving language skills, as well skills relating to computer studies, telematics, interpersonal skills and any other skills considered relevant to the labour market, in particular work experience and training. Since it is the universities that name the degree programmes and define the teaching regulations, the learning outcomes and activities are indicated not for the individual degree programmes but for the degree classes, i.e. the groups of degree programmes. Therefore, all the programmes that universities set up in a specific class will have the same learning outcomes and compulsory activities but they will differentiate in name, specific learning outcomes, and especially in the detailed choice of teaching/learning activities that the students will need to carry out as well as in the number of credits allocated. There are minimum credit requirements fixed by ministerial decree that the teaching regulations of individual institutions must allocate for the different educational activities in relation to each class of degree and subject field. Universities are therefore able to offer different degree courses in the same degree class which either have a strong vocational focus or follow a more academic pathway, or alternatively combine both these elements. In all cases, the courses must provide the students with adequate knowledge of general scientific principles and mastery of methods as well as specific professional skills. Course offerings at Italian Universities The Italian Ministry for Education, Universities and Research (MIUR) has set up a database available on its website at http://offertaformativa.miur.it/corsi/ listing all first and second degree programmes currently offered at Italian universities. The list below indicates the different classes for both first and second degrees. First degrees are characterised by both theoretical and applied studies and this is often indicated in the Italian title by “scienze” or “scienze and tecnologie”. Second degrees have a strong theoretical part and specialise in a specific subject field. 46 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information ECTS - European Credit Transfer System Il sistema di crediti Un sistema di crediti è un modo di descrivere un programma di studi attribuendo dei crediti alle sue componenti. La definizione dei crediti nell'istruzione superiore può essere basata su diversi parametri, quali il carico di lavoro per studente, i risultati dell’apprendimento e le ore di contatto. What is a credit system? A credit system is a systematic way of describing an educational programme by attaching credits to its components. The definition of credits in higher education systems may be based on different parameters, such as student workload, learning outcomes and contact hours. L’ECTS Il sistema europeo di accumulazione e trasferimento dei crediti è un sistema incentrato sullo studente e basato sul carico di lavoro richiesto ad uno studente per raggiungere gli obiettivi di un corso di studio, obiettivi preferibilmente espressi in termini di risultati dell’apprendimento e di competenze da acquisire. What is ECTS? The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System is a student-centred system based on the student workload required to achieve the objectives of a programme, objectives preferably specified in terms of learning outcomes and competences to be acquired. Come si è sviluppato l’ECTS? L’ECTS è stato introdotto nel 1989 nell’ambito del programma Erasmus, oggi parte del programma Socrates. L’ECTS è l’unico sistema di crediti che sia stato testato ed usato con successo in Europa. L’ECTS è stato inizialmente concepito per il trasferimento dei crediti. Il sistema facilitava il riconoscimento di periodi di studio all’estero, aumentando così la qualità ed il volume della mobilità studentesca in Europa. Negli ultimi anni l’ECTS si è evoluto in un sistema di accumulazione, da utilizzare a livello istituzionale, regionale, nazionale ed europeo. Questo è uno dei principali obiettivi della Dichiarazione di Bologna del giugno 1999. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 47 How did ECTS develop? ECTS was introduced in 1989, within the framework of Erasmus, now part of the Socrates programme. ECTS is the only credit system which has been successfully tested and used across Europe. ECTS was set up initially for credit transfer. The system facilitated the recognition of periods of study abroad and thus enhanced the quality and volume of student mobility in Europe. Recently ECTS is developing into an accumulation system to be implemented at institutional, regional, national and European level. This is one of the key objectives of the Bologna Declaration of June 1999. L’introduzione del sistema ECTS L’ECTS è soprattutto uno strumento inteso a generare trasparenza, a stabilire le condizioni necessarie al ravvicinamento tra gli istituti e ad ampliare la gamma delle scelte proposte agli studenti. La sua applicazione facilita il riconoscimento dei risultati accademici degli studenti grazie all’uso di misure comprese da tutti nello stesso modo – i “crediti” e i voti – nonché grazie ad una migliore comprensione dei sistemi nazionali di istruzione superiore. L’ECTS si fonda su tre elementi di base: l’informazione sui programmi di studio e i risultati dello studente, l’accordo reciproco (tra gli istituti partner e lo studente) e il ricorso a crediti ECTS (valori che rappresentano il volume di lavoro effettivo dello studente). Why introduce ECTS? ECTS makes study programmes easy to read and compare for all students, local and foreign. ECTS facilitates mobility and academic recognition. ECTS helps universities to organise and revise their study programmes. ECTS can be used across a variety of programmes and modes of delivery. ECTS makes European higher education more attractive for students from other continents. Le caratteristiche fondamentali dell’ECTS • L’ECTS è basato sulla convenzione che 60 crediti misurino il carico di lavoro di uno studente a tempo pieno nell’arco di un anno accademico. Il carico di lavoro di un programma di studio a tempo pieno in Europa equivale nella maggioranza dei casi a 36/40 settimane l’anno ed in tali casi un credito rappresenta un carico di lavoro variante dalle 25 alle 30 ore settimanali. Il carico di lavoro si riferisce al tempo teorico nel quale si ritiene che uno studente medio possa ottenere i risultati di apprendimento richiesti. • Il credito è altresì un modo di quantificare i risultati dell’apprendimento. I risultati dell’apprendimento sono insiemi di competenze che esprimono cosa lo studente saprà, capirà o sarà capace di fare al termine del processo d’apprendimento, lungo o breve che sia. I crediti ECTS possono essere capitalizzati solo al termine del lavoro richiesto e dopo aver conseguito una valutazione appropriata dei proprio rendimento. • La ripartizione dei crediti ECTS è basata sulla lunghezza ufficiale di un ciclo di studi. 48 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Il carico di lavoro totale necessario per ottenere un titolo di primo livello della durata ufficiale di tre o quattro anni è espresso in 180 o 240 crediti. • Il carico di lavoro per studente nell’ECTS include il tempo dedicato ad assistere a lezioni e seminari, allo studio autonomo, alla preparazione ed il sostenimento di esami, ecc. • I crediti sono ripartiti fra tutte le attività didattiche di un programma di studi (quali moduli, corsi, tirocini, relazioni orali, ecc.) e riflettono la quantità di lavoro che ciascuna singola attività richiede in relazione alla quantità di lavoro totale richiesta per completare un intero anno di studi nel programma considerato. • La prestazione dello studente è documentata da un voto. E’ buona pratica aggiungere un voto ECTS, in particolare nel caso di trasferimento di crediti. La scala di valutazione ECTS classifica gli studenti su basi statistiche. Per questo motivo, l’elaborazione di dati statistici sulle prestazioni degli studenti è un prerequisito per poter applicare il sistema di valutazione ECTS. • I seguenti voti sono assegnati agli studenti che hanno superato l’esame con esito positivo: A al migliore 10% B al successivo 25% C al successivo 30% D al successivo 25% E al successivo 10% Viene fatta una distinzione fra i voti FX ed F che vengono usati per gli studenti che non hanno superato l’esame. FX significa: “respinto - occorre un limitato impegno supplementare per essere promosso” ed F significa: “respinto - occorre un considerevole impegno supplementare”. L’inclusione dei giudizi negativi nel certificato degli esami sostenuti (Transcript of Records) è facoltativo. What are the key features of ECTS? • ECTS is based on the convention that 60 credits measure the workload of a full-time student during one academic year. The student workload of a full-time study programme in Europe amounts in most cases to 36/40 weeks per year and in those cases one credit stands for 24 to 30 working hours. Workload refers to the notional time an average learner might expect to complete the required learning outcomes. • Credit is also a way of quantifying the outcomes of learning. Learning outcomes are sets of competences, expressing what the student will know, understand or be able to do after completion of a process of learning, short or long. Credits in ECTS can only be obtained after completion of the work required and appropriate assessment of the learning outcomes achieved. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 49 • The allocation of ECTS credits is based on the official length of a study programme cycle. The total workload necessary to obtain a first cycle degree lasting officially three or four years is expressed as 180 or 240 credits. • Student workload in ECTS includes the time spent in attending lectures, seminars, independent study, preparation for, and taking of, examinations, etc. • Credits are allocated to all educational components of a study programme (such as modules, courses, placements, dissertation work, etc.) and reflect the quantity of work each component requires in relation to the total quantity of work necessary to complete a full year of study in the programme considered. • The performance of the student is documented by a local/national grade. It is good practice to add an ECTS grade, in particular in case of credit transfer. The ECTS grading scale ranks the students on a statistical basis. Therefore, statistical data on student performance is a prerequisite for applying the ECTS grading system. • Grades are assigned among students with a pass grade as follows: A best 10% B next 25% C next 30% D next 25% E next 10% A distinction is made between the grades FX and F that are used for unsuccessful students. FX means: “fail – some more work required to pass” and F means: “fail – considerable further work required”. The inclusion of failure rates in the Transcript of Records is optional. I documenti chiave ECTS • il fascicolo informativo, che fornisce informazioni utili allo studente e al personale sugli istituti, le facoltà/i dipartimenti, l’organizzazione e la struttura degli studi, nonché sulle unità di corso; • il certificato degli studi compiuti, che presenta in modo chiaro, completo e comprensibile per ciascuna parte i risultati accademici dello studente; deve essere facilmente trasferibile da un istituto all’altro; • il contratto di studio, che descrive il piano di studio che lo studente dovrà seguire e indica I crediti ECTS che gli saranno accordati quando avrà soddisfatto le condizioni necessarie (esame, valutazione, ecc.). Il contratto vincola gli istituti d’origine e di accoglienza, oltre allo studente. Per facilitare i riconoscimento accademico degli studi intrapresi o terminati all’estero occorrono inoltre elasticità e una buona comunicazione. A tal riguardo, i coordinatori ECTS svolgono un ruolo determinante, dato che spetta principalmente a loro occuparsi degli aspetti accademici e amministrativi dell’ECTS. 50 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information What are the key documents of ECTS? • The regular Information Package/Course Catalogue of the institution to be published in two languages (or only in English for programmes taught in English) on the Web and/or in hard copy in one or more booklets. The Information Package/Course Catalogue must contain the items of the checklist, including information for host students from abroad. • The Learning Agreement contains the list of courses to be taken and agreed upon by the student and the responsible academic body of the institution concerned. In case of credit transfer, the Learning Agreement has to be agreed upon by the student and the two institutions concerned before the student’s departure and to be updated immediately when changes occur. • The Transcript of Records documents the performance of a student by showing the list of courses taken, the credits gained as well as the local grades and possibly ECTS grades awarded. In case of credit transfer, the Transcript of Records has to be issued by the home institution for outgoing students before departure and by the host institution for incoming students at the end of their period of study. I crediti ECTS I crediti ECTS rappresentano, sotto forma di valore numerico (tra 1 e 60) attribuito alle single unità di corso, il volume di lavoro dello studente necessario a completarle. Essi esprimono la quantità di lavoro che ogni unità di corso richiede rispetto al volume globale di lavoro necessario per effettuare con successo un anno di studi completo nell’istituto, cioè: lezioni in aula, lavoro pratico, seminari, tirocini, ricerche o indagini sul terreno, studio personale – in biblioteca o a casa – nonché gli esami o eventuali altri modi di valutazione. L’ECTS è quindi basato sul volume globale di lavoro dello studente e non si limita esclusivamente alle ore di frequenza. I crediti ECTS rappresentano il volume di lavoro dello studente in modo relativo e non assoluto: essi indicano soltanto quale parte del volume di lavoro annuale è rappresentata dalla corrispondente unità di corso nell’ambito dell’istituto o del dipartimento responsabile dell’attribuzione dei crediti ECTS. Nell’ambito dell’ECTS 60 crediti rappresentano il volume di lavoro di un anno accademico di studio, e di norma 30 crediti equivalgono ad un semestre e 20 crediti ad un trimestre. L’uso dei crediti ECTS garantisce l’organizzazione di programmi ragionevoli in termini di volume di lavoro per il periodo di studio all’estero. The ECTS credits ECTS credits are values allocated to course units to describe the students’ workload required to complete them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the institution, i.e. the sum of lectures, practical work, seminars, private work – either Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 51 in the library or at home – as well as examinations and/or other assessment activities. ects credits therefore express a relative value. The credit system adopts the ECTS, European Credit Transfer System, which establishes that a standard quantity of work that a student should carry out during an academic year must ammount to 60 credits. Normally, it is possible to obtain 30 credits in a semester, or 20 credits in a term (or trimester). Consequently a three year degree implies earning 180 credits, while another 120 credits are necessary for the graduate degree. Therefore the graduate degree will be obtained after earning a total of 300 credits. The academic credit is the unit of measure of the workload requested by each student in order to carry out the various activities of the university program. A credit corresponds to 25 hours of work for each student. Credits are obtained according to the student’s grades, when an examen is registered, or through other appropriate methods for assessing the knowledge acquired by a student. Credits are only awarded when the course has been completed and all required assessments have been passed. Examination and assessment results are usually expressed in grades. There are many different grading systems in Europe. To help institutions interpret the grades awarded to exchange students, the ECTS grading scale has been developed by the institutions participating in the pilot scheme. The ECTS grade provides information on the student’s performance in addition to that provided by the institution’s grade. Please be advised that the ECTS grade does not replace the local grade. The following chart describes the dual use of the ECTS grading system. For example, the grade A means that the student’s performance was excellent, and that s/he was among the top ten percent of students. ECTS grade A B C D E FX F Percentage of successful students normally achieving the grade 10 25 30 25 10 - Definition EXCELLENT - outstanding performance with only minor errors VERY GOOD - above the average standard but with some errors GOOD - generally sound work with a number of notable errors SATISFACTORY - fair but with significant shortcomings SUFFICIENT - performance meets the minimum criteria FAIL - some more work required before the credit can be awarded FAIL - considerable further work is required 52 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information In order to convert the local grades into the ECTS grades the host institution examines the distribution of the marks awarded to its students. To obtain the following 10-25-3025-10 pattern, the boundaries between grades are drawn at around 10% (A), 35% (A and B), 65% (A, B, and C), and 90% (A, B, C, and D). Please be advised that there is great flexibility in how the different ECTS institutions apply the statistical grading system. In addition to the credit value of a course, all students at Parthenope University receive a grade based on a mark out of 30 (thirty) for each course they take. In the ECTS system the grades are defined as percentage of the appropriate class. The courses studied whilst at Parthenope University will be graded according to the following ECTS scale. For practical reasons we assume that 1 Italian University educational credit (UEC) equals 1 ECTS credit. For each course at Parthenope University an ERASMUS student will be awarded both a Parthenope University grade and an ECTS grade as a result of the assessments and/or examinations undertaken. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 53 Counselling, tutorship and placement activities L’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” ha istituito il Servizio di Orientamento e Tutorato finalizzato ad informare, orientare, accompagnare l’intera popolazione studentesca durante le varie fasi di transizione scuola-università e università-lavoro con il triplice obiettivo di: – Orientamento in entrata, ossia di facilitare la scelta del corso di laurea più idoneo alle aspettative e alle potenzialità degli studenti di scuola media superiore e di chiunque intenda intraprendere un percorso universitario. – Orientamento in itinere, ossia di sostenere gli studenti iscritti favorendone la proficua partecipazione alla vita universitaria e rendendoli protagonisti del personale processo di formazione e apprendimento. – Orientamento in uscita, ossia di assistere i laureandi e i laureati nella progettazione del proprio futuro professionale, promuovendo il loro accesso ad informazioni ed iniziative legate alla formazione specialistica e al mondo del lavoro. Il Servizio di Orientamento e Tutorato è affidato al Centro Orientamento e Tutorato che persegue l’obiettivo di supportare gli studenti ad impostare in modo ottimale il proprio percorso formativo, dal passaggio dalla Scuola media superiore all’Università fino all’ingresso nel mondo del lavoro. Esso, infatti, si propone di operare in stretto contatto con i docenti, le strutture universitarie, gli enti territoriali e nazionali, le imprese e gli ambienti di lavoro, attivando e coordinando una serie di interventi diretti ad assistere gli studenti lungo tutto il loro percorso formativo, culturale e professionale. Contatti: Centro Orientamento e Tutorato Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” Via Acton, 38 - I - 80133 Napoli Tel: 081 5475135/6 Fax: 081 5475137 E-mail: [email protected] Stage e Programma di Orientamento al Lavoro Il Consiglio europeo di Lisbona nel 2000 ha indicato l’obiettivo di rendere l’Unione europea “l’economia basata sulla conoscenza più dinamica e più competitiva nel mondo, in grado di realizzare una crescita economica sostenibile con nuovi posti di lavoro e una maggiore coesione sociale” entro 2010. Per poter raggiungere questo obiettivo l’Unione 54 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information europea punta sui giovani, ritenendoli una delle chiavi per raggiungere con successo questo ambizioso traguardo. Il tema dell’istruzione e della formazione sono ritenuti centrali nella strategia di Lisbona. L’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope”, interpretando nuovamente e facendo propria la politica europea in tema di formazione accompagna e sostiene l’individuo studente nella ricerca del percorso formativo più adatto ai suoi bisogni ed alle sue inclinazioni, indirizzandolo peraltro nella ricerca della futura occupazione verso scelte che coniughino soddisfazione dei bisogni individuali e necessità del mercato del lavoro, facilitandone pertanto l’ingresso nel mondo del lavoro. In quest’ottica, sono molto cresciute all’interno dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope”, le iniziative di orientamento volte ad offrire agli studenti un significativo sostegno alle scelte che essi sono chiamati a compiere, attraverso una articolata gamma di servizi e, in particolare dirette a facilitare gli sbocchi occupazionali dei diplomati e dei laureati, a conoscere le opportunità professionali, a fornire informazioni, strumenti e sussidi per la transizione dall’Università al lavoro, anche nell’ambito di progetti di orientamento cofinanziati dal FSE. Presso ciascuna Facoltà dell’Università degli Studi di Napoli “Parthenope” opera un Servizio Stage, dedicato alle attività connesse al segmento dell’orientamento universitario definito “in uscita” o “al lavoro”, che si propone di agevolare l’inserimento nel mondo produttivo dei laureandi e dei neo-laureati, fornendo loro informazioni, opportunità e strumenti utili alla transizione dall’Università al lavoro. Il canale privilegiato offerto dall’Università per fungere da tramite tra domanda ed offerta di lavoro, è il tirocinio formativo e di orientamento (o stage) che ha la finalità di realizzare momenti di alternanza tra studio e lavoro nell’ambito dei processi formativi e di agevolare le scelte professionali mediante la conoscenza diretta del mondo del lavoro. Il tirocinio è uno strumento previsto dalla legge che consente al giovane: 1. di entrare in un ambiente di lavoro; 2. di mettersi alla prova; 3. di orientare o verificare le sue scelte professionali; 4. di acquisire un’esperienza pratica certificata che potrà arricchire il suo curriculum; all’azienda: 1. di conoscere potenziali collaboratori da inserire in futuro nel proprio organico; 2. di formarli in modo specifico secondo le proprie esigenze. I tirocini sono regolamentati da apposite convenzioni stipulate tra l’Ateneo (in qualità di soggetto promotore) e aziende, studi professionali ed enti pubblici o privati (in qualità di soggetto ospitante). Le convenzioni (ed i relativi allegati, definiti “progetti formativi”, con i quali si formalizza l’avvio dei tirocini) definiscono i reciproci impegni ed gli obblighi assunti dai tre soggetti coinvolti. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 55 Il rapporto che si costituisce tra azienda e tirocinante non è un rapporto di lavoro subordinato e non comporta pertanto il sorgere di obblighi retributivi e previdenziali e non obbliga l’azienda ad assumere il tirocinante al termine dell’esperienza. Durante il tirocinio è garantita la copertura assicurativa INAIL e RCT. La partecipazione non comporta spese per il tirocinante. A discrezione dell’azienda può anche essere previsto un rimborso spese. Ogni tirocinio è supportato da un progetto individuale inserito nella convenzione che l’azienda deve sottoscrivere. Durante il progetto il tirocinante è costantemente seguito da un tutor aziendale e da un tutor del soggetto promotore. Il Servizio Stage delle Presidenze di Ateneo curano i rapporti con i potenziali soggetti ospitanti e gestiscono le candidature dei laureandi e neo-laureati della Facoltà che desiderano essere informati sulle opportunità di stage promosse dalla Facoltà. La candidatura degli aspiranti avviene con la presentazione del proprio curriculum vitae. Al fine di garantire la massima trasparenza e linearità delle attività di stage, le fasi di valutazione, selezione ed espletamento di eventuali colloqui sono completamente demandate ai soggetti ospitanti, salvo specifica richiesta di estrapolazione per voto, età, o possesso di specifico requisito. Gli aspiranti tirocinanti selezionati dai soggetti ospitanti prenderanno contatto con la Presidenza per la formalizzazione del progetto formativo, del documento contenente i dati del tirocinante e del periodo di stage che andrà a svolgere, che, allegato alla convenzione stipulata, sarà trasmesso, a cura della Presidenza, agli enti competenti (assicurazioni, Ispettorato del Lavoro, Regione, ecc.). Tale prassi amministrativa deve essere completata entro una settimana dalla prevista data di avvio dello stage. Al termine dello stage, il tirocinante è tenuto a redigere una relazione finale sull’esperienza maturata, da consegnare in Presidenza unitamente ad una copia della valutazione rilasciatagli dal soggetto ospitante. Si precisa che la presentazione del proprio c.v. alla Facoltà, autorizza quest’ultima al trattamento ed alla comunicazione dei dati personali. La Facoltà, comunque, garantisce che i dati personali sono trattati e diffusi esclusivamente per le finalità di inserimento nel mondo del lavoro, in conformità con il Codice in materia di protezione dei dati personali. Proposta autonoma di stage Gli studenti che, autonomamente, abbiano individuato e contattato un potenziale soggetto ospitante, avendo avuto positivo riscontro, possono rivolgersi alla Presidenza per l’attivazione dello stage e la definizione delle modalità operative (eventuale stipula di convenzione, formalizzazione del progetto formativo, assicurazioni, ecc.). 56 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Tirocini facoltativi per i corsi di studio del Nuovo Ordinamento Gli ordinamenti didattici dei corsi di laurea di I livello del Nuovo Ordinamento prevedono, al III anno di corso e gli ordinamenti didattici dei corsi di laurea di II livello (Magistrali), al II anno la possibilità di sostituire un esame opzionale con uno stage svolto in convenzione d’Ateneo. Si tratta di limitate possibilità, per accedere alle quali è necessaria, da parte degli aspiranti, una forte motivazione, serietà, disponibilità di tempo ed una regolare e brillante carriera di studi. Si fa anche presente che, per tale tipologia di stage, sono investite, sia per quanto riguarda il reperimento della disponibilità di posti-stage, sia per quanto riguarda la selezione delle candidature, le singole strutture didattiche dei corsi di studio. Gli studenti iscritti ai corsi di laurea di I livello e di laurea Magistrale che intendano candidarsi ad opportunità di stage – in alternativa all’esame opzionale rispettivamente del III anno e del II anno – dovranno possedere specifici requisiti minimi deliberati dal Consiglio di Facoltà. A fronte dei crediti assegnati a tale tipologia di stage potranno corrispondere una durata in mesi ed un numero di ore complessive non sempre omogenee, dovendo spesso assecondare la disponibilità e le esigenze dei soggetti ospitanti. Sul sito delle Facoltà, alla pagina dedicata ai laureati e laureandi, è disponibile una guida ai servizi e alle informazioni affinché studenti e laureati possano orientarsi nella ricerca di opportunità di stage, nella ricerca del lavoro, in Italia e all’estero, o per l’avvio di un’attività autonoma. L’intento è di fornire un panoramica complessiva delle opportunità offerte dal mercato del lavoro attuale e un percorso di navigazione che rappresenti in alcuni casi semplicemente una traccia da seguire per approfondire i vari aspetti e per tenersi continuamente aggiornati. E’ inoltre possibile all’interno della stessa pagina inserire on line il proprio curriculum vitae.

Under direction, it plans, organizes and directs a traineeship and placement program for the students of the campus. The scope of the program is such that the full range is provided to undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni, in all occupational fields represented on the Faculty of Economics. Work is reviewed in terms of meeting goals and objectives of the program. The Traineeship and Career Service performs or administers the activities of the students and alumni traineeship and placement program and performs other related duties as required. It is primarily involved in traineeship and professional career planning for students and alumni that focuses on both short range employment and long-range career objectives. It entails a continuity of service relationship with students throughout their academic and working careers. It interviews applicants and determines and evaluates their education, training, experience, skills and aptitudes, assists in reaching decisions that relate employment opportunities to academics goals and objectives; provides applicants with information about employment and training opportunities and employer and institutional requirements; refers applicants to employer and institutional representatives; interviews employer and institutional representatives and solicits job openings and training opportunities; advises employer and institutional representatives of applicants’ abilities and potentialities; coordinates and 58 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information publicises on campus recruiting visits of employer and institutional representatives. Students are encouraged to learn more about themselves and the world of work through this direct assistance, resources and practical experiential opportunities. The objectives are to promote early career awareness and exploration, to provide specific information regarding occupational objectives, to provide information on the procedures of seeking and accepting employment; and to provide opportunities for part-time traineeship or employment both during studies and upon graduation. To accomplish its mission, it offers a variety of services to students, alumni and employers, including many literature resources to help them in their search for a major or a career. It houses many books, pamphlets, handouts and reference guides for their use. Topics includes books on numerous careers, career issues relating to members of special population, and graduate and professional school information. A work placement is the part of students education in which they participate in a profession, outside the university, guided by experienced professionals. This experience enables them to test their professional and personal qualities and to develop their future. A work placement has a few specific characteristics. The aim is to learn and test skills in a practical environment. They are allowed to make mistakes, but are supposed to learn from them. Because of the confrontation with the questions and issues in the field and by comparison with experienced professionals, they can find out where they stand a s a professional to be and what makes them suited for the job. The University work placement policy is aimed at utilising the specific possibilities of traineeships to their fullest. We want to make sure that the work placement becomes an important training period in students’ education. Therefore, the Parthenope University of Naples is always opened to new ideas and individual plans as long as they have the characteristics of a work placement. The undergraduate and graduate degrees awarded by the Parthenope University of Naples includes a period of practical training (work placement) which has to be related to the studies and it also includes report writing in certain cases, in which the student describes the internal operations of the organisation and how his/her duties related to the entire process. At its best, the report is a development proposal. The training period is equivalent to 3 credit point or ECTS. In accordance with the curriculum, the student gains a broad insight into the operation of a business, private or public sector organisation. The first requirement of work placement is that it provides the opportunity of work with supervision as a professional in the field. The organisation has to be able to provide security as well as challenges. The training agreement is signed by all three parties: the host organisation, the student and the University. This contract is the legal base for the work placement. Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information 59 The contract states that the organisation is familiar with and agrees with the intent and the purpose of an University work placement. It states that the University acknowledges that the student proceeds with his traineeship and that it approves of the chosen work placement, supervisors, terms, duration and goals. The University also promises that the trainee will be guided by an academic coordinator (generally a teacher). For the student the contract acknowledges the fact that he is accepted as a student on work placement, based on the work placement plan, both the University and the host organisation. It also means that the student now has all rights and responsibilities mentioned in his workbook and is entitled to supervision and tutoring by both the organisation and the University. The student is in fact appointed a training coordinator, who introduces him to the training arrangements. He is the one that the student will learn the trade from and who is willing to teach the student and help him get acquainted with the profession. He is also the one who will introduce the student to offer professional and inform him about the structure of the organisation. Every supervisor does this in his own way, depending on the circumstances and possibilities of the work placement. During the training period the student adheres to the working hours established in his placement plan and rules of the employer. As for the trainee’s health and safety at work, the common regulation of the trade as well as the safety regulations of the particular employer are observed. It is the student’s responsibility to find a suitable placement. At the end of the traineeship, the supervisor puts her impression about the trainee and the handling of the work placement in writing. The goals reached by the end of the traineeship are also mentioned in terms of achieving a progress in some areas: personal and meaning related development, professional development and scientific development. The traineeship plan Besides the traineeship contract, the student also drafts a plan for the work placement, which contains at least the trainee educational goals. These have to be real goals, not just activities. Student must be able to assess them and it has to be clear whether he has accomplished them or not: and an activity schedule which contains an outline of all activities he plan to undertake during the work placement. The work placement plan is part of the contract and it will be made before the work placement starts. All currently enrolled University students are covered this accident Insurance policy whilst engaged in campus activities or an unpaid course required work experience. The University must be notified by the student of any serious incidents or injuries that occur during the traineeship in the workplace. For additional informations please contact the Faculty secretaries and /or the Counselling and tutorship Centre. 60 Erasmus ECTS Information Package – General Information Lab facilities and Sport recreative activities Le attività di laboratorio all’Università Il Centro di Calcolo Elettronico è il centro dei servizi informatici e telematici di Ateneo ed è dislocato al Piano Seminterrato della Palazzina Moderna della Sede Centrale di via Acton n. 38.

The adhesion to the EMBS Consortium For the second degree course in Management and its curriculum Management aziendale internazionale, the Faculty of Economics is formalizing its adhesion to the EMBS Consortium. The Consortium is a multilateral partnership of EU institutions of higher education which have come together to promote true integration of quality management education at European level. The Consortium consists of 18 member institutions in 7 EU countries. The Consortium provides the structure for the exchange of a selected, elite group of students, and for the award of the European Master of Business Sciences 68 Guida Erasmus ECTS – Didactic Section Certificate. More generally, it meets the needs of an enhanced degree route for the best students at European level. The aim of the EMBS Consortium is to develop an international degree that is recognised at least to the level of an initial Master’s degree in each of the participating countries. In order to achieve these goals, the Faculty of Economics has established that some teachings are taken in english, being focused on the European Core Elements. These teachings are not compulsory activities but at students’ option on the basis of their study programme. Dottorati di Ricerca Sono presenti, a completamento dell’offerta didattica della Facoltà di Economia, alcuni Dottorati di Ricerca con sede amministrativa presso l’Ateneo. Al momento sono attivi in Facoltà Dottorati di Ricerca in: • Trasporti marittimi e logistica integrata • Scienze Economiche • Dottrine Economico-Aziendali e Governo dell’Impresa • Statistica Applicata al Territorio • Economia delle Risorse Alimentari e dell’Ambiente The Research Doctorate degree represents one of the three different typologies of postgraduate studies among Research Doctorate degree- Dottorato di Ricerca, 2nd level University Master degree – Corso di Master Universitario di II livello and 2nd level Specialisation course – Corso di Specializzazione di II livello. The Research Doctorate courses aim at training postgraduates for very advanced scientific research by suitable methodologies, updated technologies, study periods abroad. Access is by an Italian 2nd degree or a foreign comparable degree; admission is subject to competitive exams; official length is min. three years; at the end, the 3rd degree called Research Doctorate is awarded. At the moment, in the Faculty of Economics are activated the following Research Doctorate degrees in: • Trasporti marittimi e logistica integrata • Scienze Economiche • Dottrine Economico-Aziendali e Governo dell’Impresa • Statistica Applicata al Territorio • Economia delle Risorse Alimentari e dell’Ambiente Guida Erasmus ECTS – Didactic Section 69 I Crediti Formativi Universitari I corsi presso la Facoltà di Economia sono divisi in blocchi di lezioni in base al numero di ore previste per ciascun Credito Formativo Universitario (C.F.U.), ovvero: 3 C.F.U. 24 ore 4 settimane di lezioni 6 C.F.U. 48 ore 8 settimane di lezioni 9 C.F.U. 72 ore 12 settimane di lezioni University Educational Credits (UEC) Under the reformed Italian higher education system in accordance with its main objective to make studies more student-centred, reducing the gap between official and real length of courses as well as lowering the drop out rate, all degree courses activated in the Faculty of Economics carry a number of credit points. The local credit system is articulated in the following terms: A credit point tells you something about the amount of time invested in a particular subject. One University educational credits equals 25 hours of study, including lectures/classes, reading, assignments and preparation for exams. A subject of 3 University educational credits therefore requires 24 hours of work (on average) a month. Students are expected to work 6 hours a week. A subject of 6 University educational credits therefore requires 48 hours of work (on average) a bimester. Students are expected to work 6 hours a week. A subject of 9 University educational credits therefore requires 72 hours of work (on average) a term. Students are expected to work 6 hours a week Therefore, a threeyear degree programme equals 180 Italian University educational credits. The courses studied whilst at the Parthenope University of Naples are graded according to the following ECTS scale. 70 Guida Erasmus ECTS – Didactic Section For practical reasons we assume that 1 Italian University educational credit (UEC) equals 1 ECTS credit. For each course at Parthenope University an ERASMUS student will be awarded both a Parthenope University grade and an ECTS grade as a result of the assessments and/or examinations undertaken. Classes are organised so that each course requires classroom activities for six hours a week. 3 ECTS courses are organised on monthly basis, while 6 ECTS courses last a bimester and 9 ECTS courses last a trimester (see the academic calendar in the following page). Attendance at lessons is not compulsory, although students are advised to attend because lessons are designed to facilitate gradual learning and creating a dialogue between teachers and students. Lesson timetable is published on the site. We advise students to consult frequently our bulletin boards on the site, which helps us to communicate any change in the timetable.
