What it is

How Italian universities grade coursework and degrees, and the shape of the degree system: Laurea, Laurea magistrale, single-cycle degrees, PhDs and professional masters.

Why you need it

Every mark you get, and eventually your final result, is expressed on this scale, not the one you are used to at home. Knowing it early stops you misreading how well you are actually doing.

When

From your first exam result, and again at graduation.

What you need first

Nothing extra; this applies to your studies from the start

Ask a student

Ask a graduating student what actually goes into a "cum laude" result at your department, since the source does not say how the committee decides it.
