Scuole Superiori per Mediatori Linguistici are the former higher schools for interpreters and translators (SSIT). They award qualifications equivalent to all legal effects to 1st university degrees in class 3 (class of Laurea degrees in sciences of language mediation).

Istituti/Scuole di Psicoterapia (Specialisation Institutes/Schools in Psychotherapy)

Those non-state institutes/schools offer postgraduate programmes in applied psychology and in psychotherapy which have been recognised by the Ministry of Universities and Research - MIUR. The successful passing of the final examination, which includes the defence of a dissertation, results in the awarding of a professional qualification (e.g. Diploma in Psicoterapia Cognitiva) with the same legal validity of the postgraduate specialisation degrees in psychological fields conferred by Italian universities.

Additional information

After the adoption of DS by national law, the DM 30.05.01 has determined the Italian DS model. In conformity to Art. 1 of DM No.49 of 26.10.05, all Italian universities have to automatically issue the DS (bilingual English-Italian) in attachment to the new Italian degrees as from 2005. The Italian DS model closely resembles that recommended by UNESCO and the Council of Europe; however, universities may modify the template for their own use.
