Objectives: First of all, it should be mentioned that the master’s degree is delivered entirely in English and welcomes a good number of international students. The master’s degree program is organized, like all master’s degrees in Europe, on 120 credits delivered over two years: one hundred credits of teaching and twenty credits of thesis. The polytechnic offers three plans of study, called Pre-Approved Study Plans (PSPA). Two of them are vertical, namely the plan in “Business and Innovation” (T2D) and the plan in “Artificial Intelligence” (T2I) while one is free and the students can build it as they like: it is the plan in “Computer Science and Engineering” (T2A), the one that offers the most freedom of choice. Some courses are common to all three study plans.
The programme aims at training engineers who are able of developing Information Technology tools to deal with a wide range of applications. Compared with the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor) courses, the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme allows students to deal with more complex multidisciplinary problems, which require a stronger ability to model reality and a deeper preparation to integrate a broader spectrum of advanced technologies and skills. The programme is taught in English and it offers a large number of specializations, which cover the full spectrum of computer science applications:
Ambient and data intelligence
Artificial intelligence and machine learning
Big data and data science
Bioinformatics and e-health
Business informatics, analytics and intelligence
Cybersecurity
Interactive applications
Internet engineering
Pervasive Systems
Robotics and Vision
Software engineering for complex systems
Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)
Admission requirements: A Bachelor Degree in Information and Communication Technologies or in a related field.
