In Italy the university system consists of 3 levels (stipulated by the Bologna process): undergraduate degree (level 1), postgraduate (master’s) degree (level 2) , and Research Doctorate (PhD) degree (level 3). There is also a further range of courses issuing degrees, including Postgraduate Specialist Courses: level 3 courses through which the student can acquire the knowledge and skills needed to practise a profession at the highest possible level. The qualification obtained is called a Postgraduate Specialist Degree.
3rd UNIVERSITY LEVEL COURSES AT ACCADEMIA
From its inception in 1994, the Fondazione Accademia di Musica rapidly developed into an internationally famous centre of music studies, known for its innovative approach. We have always been dedicated to developing the artistic personalities of our students, whether they be very young talents or graduates, through our advanced music courses and masterclasses, as well as our bi-annual international chamber music competition.
We are now proud to announce the latest, long-awaited achievement in our progress: the 3rd level – Postgraduate Specialist Courses in Instruments (2019) and the 3rd level – Postgraduate Specialist Courses in Opera Singing in partnership with the Fondazione Luciano Pavarotti (2024).
Students who complete the Specialist courses will be awarded a qualification recognised by the Italian Ministry (MIUR | MUR/Universitaly) as equivalent to that awarded by other schools offering Specialist degrees having a value of 3 points in any public competition for a teaching position in a higher education institute of music and dance performance.
Our teachers, renowned as some of the foremost soloists in the world, adopt innovative teaching methods.

Così come disposto dal decreto ministeriale 1° giugno 2017, n 374, la cui tabella A al punto D6 riconosce un punteggio per i ‘diplomi di specializzazione universitaria’, anche la nota MIUR 9 giugno 2011, prot. 3154, riconosce, al punto 2 dei titoli artistico-culturali e professionali, un punteggio per i diplomi di specializzazione rilasciati da università, a cui è equiparato il titolo rilasciato dalla nostra Accademia. Trattando la nota 3154 di graduatorie d’istituto delle istituzioni AFAM, il punteggio per i diplomi di specializzazione universitaria, cui il nostro titolo è equipollente, è pari a Punti 3.
