Questions 5.13 and 5.14
For question 5.13, respond with answer number 2 ("No") if you gained a non-university Master?s degree in a program run by a private entity or vocational school. Multiple responses are allowed for your response to question 5.14.

Level I master?s degree programs requiring a Level I three-year degree or Level I A.F.A.M. Degree for admission and that last one year.

Level II master?s degree programs requiring a Level II degree (laurea specialistica/magistrale) or Level II A.F.A.M. degree for admission and that last one year.
Specialization school followed completion of the Degree under the former system, the single-cycle Level II degree (laurea specialistica/magistrale) or the specialized Degree under the new system, and requires a course of studies lasting not less than 2 years designed for training specialists in specific professional fields at specialization schools.

Box 3 ("Specialization school") should also be checked by holders of a "special degree" (second degree upon completion of studies), which requires at least 4 additional years of study after the basic degree (e.g. Aerospace engineering).

A Research doctorate (doctorate in Research Training) follows the basic degree (degree under the former system, single-cycle level II degree under the new system, level II two-year specialized degree under the new system), and requires a personalized program of research and study that lasts no less than 3 years and focuses on in-depth scientific investigation and research methods specific to the sector in question. In international terms, the research doctorate is a post-graduate educational qualification that is equivalent to completion of the second cycle of university education (e.g. Ph.D.).
