Era-specific diploma review
How do Italian diploma requirements differ by era?
A Bologna-era Laurea Triennale, a transitional Specialistica, and a vecchio ordinamento Laurea are different credentials. Find your era to see what we check.
Laurea Triennale · Magistrale
Post-2001 Italian Diploma Translation
Also issued with: The Supplemento carries CFU and the Classe di Laurea
- Degree system
- Triennale (180 CFU) · Magistrale (120 CFU)
- Grade
- Voto di laurea out of 110
- Watch for
- Classe di Laurea code preserved
Bologna-era degrees run the three-year Triennale and two-year Magistrale cycles, graded with the voto di laurea out of 110 and classified by the Classe di Laurea code.
We keep the grade with its denominator, preserve the class code, and translate the Supplemento in full when it is included.
Laurea Specialistica
Laurea Specialistica Translation
Also issued with: The predecessor of the Magistrale
- Period
- 1999–2005 reform window
- The risk
- Read as a lesser degree
- Watch for
- Second-cycle context made clear
The Laurea Specialistica of the reform window is the second-cycle predecessor of today’s Magistrale — and without context, a reviewer can misread it as a lesser award.
We translate the title as issued and add a concise note tying it to its cycle, so the evaluator places it correctly.
Laurea (pre-2001)
Vecchio Ordinamento Laurea Translation
Also issued with: A single long cycle of four to six years
- Structure
- Single-cycle Laurea, 4–6 years
- The risk
- Read as a 3-year bachelor
- Watch for
- The era named on the translation
The pre-2001 Laurea was a single long-cycle degree of four to six years — a different credential from the modern three-year Triennale that shares its name.
We name the era and the long-cycle structure, so the single Laurea is never read as a first-cycle bachelor by default.
Hold an Italian credential from another period? These are the three eras we see most often, but we translate Italian academic records from any year.

How much can a 250-word page cap add to your price?
A diploma may contain only a few words, but a transcript, registry page, or supplement can be dense. A provider with a 250-word cap may bill one physical page as two or three pages.

Frequent problems we correct
What can cause questions during credential review?
These four issues can make a diploma difficult to compare with the original. We check for each one before certification.
01
Vecchio and nuovo ordinamento are not identified
How we handle it: We name the era on the translation — a single-cycle 1990s Laurea and a modern Triennale are different credentials.
02
The voto di laurea is shown without its denominator
How we handle it: A 105 means nothing without /110. We keep the grade exactly as issued, denominator included.
03
The Classe di Laurea code is dropped
How we handle it: The class code places the program in the national system — we preserve it so the evaluator can verify the field.
04
A Laurea Specialistica is read as a lesser degree
How we handle it: We tie the transitional title to its second-cycle context with a concise note, never leaving it ambiguous.
The standard behind these checks
AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.
How to check each one yourselfIf a field is unreadable, we do not guess. We ask for a clearer image or identify the limitation in a translator note.

Italian diploma translation questions, answered
Clear answers about WES, ECE, the ordinamento eras, the voto, price, delivery, notarization, and seals.
How much does an Italian diploma translation cost?+−
Certified Italian diploma translation starts at $24.95 per physical page. One physical page is billed once, even when it contains more than 250 words. We confirm the page count and total before payment.
How long does an Italian diploma translation take?+−
Most 1–3 page orders are delivered within 24 hours, included in the standard price. Twelve-hour Rush and six-hour Super Rush are also available. If the documents are longer or difficult to read, we confirm the delivery time before work begins.
Will WES accept my Italian diploma translation?+−
WES requires an exact, word-for-word English translation when a translation appears in your personal Required Documents list. We provide it with a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. WES makes the final decision. If it requests a translation-related correction, we revise it free; if the translation is still rejected for that reason, we refund the translation cost.
Does ECE require a certified diploma translation?+−
ECE uses different rules from WES. ECE offers a paid Translation Waiver and may accept a word-for-word translation prepared by the applicant when the waiver is not purchased. Check your ECE order before buying a separate translation.
Can you translate my Italian diploma and transcript together?+−
Yes. Translating the Laurea and the transcript or Supplemento together keeps the student name, institution, degree title, and course terminology consistent. Whether you need both depends on the evaluator. Upload every academic document you have, and we will identify which pages need translation before you pay.
Is diploma translation the same as credential evaluation?+−
No. CertTranslate translates the academic documents into English. WES, ECE, or another evaluator decides the U.S. equivalency of the degree. We preserve the original credential wording and do not invent a U.S. degree or GPA conversion.
Is a vecchio ordinamento Laurea the same as a Triennale?+−
No. The pre-2001 Laurea was a single long cycle of four to six years, while the modern Triennale is a three-year first-cycle degree. We name the era on the translation, and the evaluator decides the mapping.
Do I need the Supplemento al Diploma translated too?+−
Usually yes for Bologna-era degrees. The Supplemento carries the Classe di Laurea, CFU credits, and exam detail that WES and ECE review beside the diploma, and we translate it as one set.
Should I upload the back, seals, stamps, and signatures?+−
Yes. Upload the front and back, including every seal, stamp, signature, registry entry, and attached apostille. We translate or describe every legible element that appears on the document.
Do I need a certified or notarized diploma translation?+−
A certified translation includes the translator’s signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate. Notarization only verifies the identity of the person signing that statement. Add notarization only when the organization receiving your diploma asks for it.
Is there a 250-word cap per page?+−
No. One physical page stays one billed page, even when the diploma, transcript, or supplement is unusually dense.
Evaluator reference
Common Italian degree titles
These descriptions show how each credential fits into its local education system. The evaluator—not the translator—decides its formal U.S. equivalency.
| Original degree | Place in local system | Typical duration | Translation note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Laurea (vecchio ordinamento) | Pre-2001 single cycle | 4–6 years | The era is named — never read as a 3-year bachelor by default |
| Laurea Triennale | Bologna first cycle | 3 years / 180 CFU | The modern first degree |
| Laurea Magistrale | Bologna second cycle | 2 years / 120 CFU | Called Specialistica in 1999–2005 |
| Laurea Magistrale a Ciclo Unico | Unified long cycle | 5–6 years | Medicine, law, architecture — one continuous program |
| Dottorato di Ricerca | Third cycle | 3+ years | Doctoral research degree |
