Objectives of the University reform.
The university reform has changed the Italian university studies system with the aim of achieving specific objectives:
- to create a teaching autonomy, that is, to confer to the University the right to regulate the teaching system of the courses with the University Academic Regulations (RDA), overcoming the inflexibility of a single regulation system at a national level. The academic regulation system defines the name and the teaching objectives of a course, the general outline of the credits attributed to each subject and the method to be followed for the final examinations for the awarding of the qualification.
- to create a study system organized on two levels according to the 3+2 formula, bringing the Italian education system closer to the European model outlined by the European agreements between the Sorbonne and Bologna, which have the objective of creating a European space, essentially articulated by two principal study cycles or levels.
- to favour the mobility of students at a national and international level through the introduction of the credit system.
- to shorten the time necessary to achieve the qualification and reduce withdrawal rates.
- to combine a cultural-methodological preparation that has always been a prerogative of university teaching activities with a vocational training.
