2. Definitions. A definition of the main bodies governing educational activities and the terms used is provided below to facilitate understanding.
a) Faculty. They are bodies for the coordination, rationalisation and monitoring of educational activities, as well as for monitoring the research activities of the Departments, in relation to the provisions of the University Evaluation Committee. They are responsible for fostering cultural development, scientific integration and the organisation of educational activities, as well as for the management of the services common to the Departments connected to them.
b) Departments. They are primary and fundamental bodies for research and educational activities, homogeneous in their aims and/or methods; they are connected to the Faculties and also provide for the management and organisation of Degree programmes.
c) Degree programmes. These are Bachelor's Degree programmes (three-year duration), two-year Master's Degree programmes and Single-cycle degree programmes.
d) Interfaculty degree programmes. These degree programmes are managed, educationally and organisationally, by two or more participating Faculties.
e) Leading faculty. In interfaculty degree programmes, the leading Faculty is responsible for the organisation of the degree programme from an administrative point of view.
f) Class. With the introduction of Ministerial Decree 509/99, now Ministerial Decree 270/04, students obtain their degree (Bachelor's or Master's degree) in the reference class of the programme in which they are enrolled.
Classes are defined by a name (which does not necessarily coincide with the name of the degree programme) and an alphanumeric code. All degree programmes belonging to a class must comply with minimum characteristics in relation to the educational objectives and educational activities required to obtain the degree.
g) Interclass degree programmes. These degree programmes relate to two different degree classes: students choose which class to enrol in and may subsequently change their choice, provided that it becomes final at the time of enrolment in the final year. In any case, the degree is awarded in only one class (Ministerial Decree March 16, 2007, Article 1 paragraph 3).
