FIRST LEVEL ACADEMIC TRIENNIALS
Law No. 509/99 reforming the system of Higher Education in Art and Music intended to redefine the didactic system of the courses of the traditional Conservatoires / Higher Institutes of Music Studies, also activating the Level I and II higher courses, which allow students to obtain the relevant academic diplomas.
The educational pathway of the First Level Higher Three-year course is aimed at obtaining a professional education that allows access to the world of work with a general and specific preparation, adequate to carry out with competence and professionalism most of the activities pertaining to the studies carried out, in line with European standards; it also provides for recognition of the studies previously carried out in the traditional Conservatoire courses. In particular, the Three-year First Level courses, structured similarly to university courses, provide a multidisciplinary curriculum with the possibility of customising the course of study.
With Decreto D.G. AFAM 16 dicembre 2010 n. 266 The Didactic Regulation of the Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali Claudio Monteverdi di Cremona was approved, and with it the new didactic regulations of the first-level academic courses, which came into force following the issuance of Decreto Direttoriale n. 1/2011.

The articulation of the study pathway of the Three-year First Level course is related, from an educational point of view, to the last three years of the course in the traditional system. The course structure for each of the three years is organised in:
1. basic training activities;
2. specialised activities;
3. complementary and related activities
4. additional training activities, aimed at acquiring further knowledge useful for entering the world of work and facilitating career choices, through direct knowledge of the occupational sector to which the qualification may give access;
5. activities of the student’s choice;
6. training activities relating to the preparation of the final examination and the testing of knowledge of the foreign language for the award of the degree.
The student is free to decide how to distribute the disciplines that make up his or her study plan over the three-year period.
The normal duration of the Three-year Upper Level Course is three years. To obtain the diploma the student must have acquired 180 credits, including those relating to the compulsory knowledge of a European Union language other than Italian.
