Course description

The Master's Degree in Computer Engineering deepens the various application areas of computer engineering, with particular attention to: programming in Unix and network environments; big data; the Internet of Things; cybersecurity; software engineering and cloud environments; sequential and parallel algorithms; and computer networks.
On completion, graduates:
- have an in-depth knowledge of the theoretical-scientific aspects of engineering, both in general and specifically in computer engineering, and are able to identify, formulate and solve, including in innovative ways, complex or interdisciplinary problems;
- can use the theoretical-scientific aspects of mathematics to interpret and describe complex problems;
- can devise, plan, design, evaluate, validate and manage complex and innovative systems, processes and services;
- can design and manage highly complex experiments;
- possess contextual knowledge, transversal skills and command of the disciplinary vocabularies.
Graduates work in the hardware and software industries, in automation and robotics, in information services and networks, in data analysis and artificial intelligence, and in IT services for public administration. The programme's effectiveness is confirmed by AlmaLaurea data: indicator iC07 (employed three years after graduation) was 100% in 2022, above the regional (91.6%) and national (87%) averages.
Admission to the programme requires curricular requirements, technical-knowledge requirements and knowledge of English.
Candidates must have a level appropriate to the objectives of a first-cycle degree in the Information Engineering class (Class 9 of Ministerial Decree 509/1999, L-8 of Ministerial Decree 270/2004), namely:
- a first-cycle degree, a three-year university diploma, a second-cycle degree or a five-year degree from an Italian university, or another formally recognised equivalent qualification;
- at least 40 CFU (or equivalent knowledge for foreign qualifications) in the disciplinary fields of the basic activities of the Information Engineering class;
- at least 60 CFU (or equivalent knowledge) in the characterising fields of the same class;
- passing an English proficiency test or a certification of at least level B2 of the CEFR (not required for native speakers);
- the ability to use written and spoken Italian fluently (not required for native speakers); where the assessment is not passed, the student acquires 'Further language knowledge' in Italian, for example through the School of Italian for Foreigners.
A dedicated Committee assesses the personal preparation of students meeting the curricular requirements, in accordance with the programme's Teaching Regulations.
