Usage notes
- Use laurea for the qualification; use facoltà/corso di laurea for the university program, not laurea alone.
- In Italian, you usually say laurea in economia/giurisprudenza, not laurea di.
- Laurea can mean bachelor's or master's depending on context; for precision, say laurea triennale or laurea magistrale.
