Introduction of the Course of Study

The ICT & Internet Engineering Master’s Degree Course of Study is a programme that focuses on the design, development, implementation and management of secure systems for communication and information processing. The corresponding technological sector is that of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), which plays a fundamental and strategical role in every modern society by enabling the technological progress in several areas, including health, environment and energy, transportation, commerce, public services, entertainment, national security, education and research.

The Master’s Degree course of Study aims to provide students with fundamental skills in telecommunications, information technology, and security that will enable them to specialize in the ICT field. Students will become highly trained, flexible, and skilled professionals to address technical problems of ICT systems, services, and applications. After completing this degree in ICT & Internet Engineering, the graduates can choose from a variety of career paths. They are able to work as Network Engineers, Software Developers, System Analysts, Communication Specialists, Cybersecurity Specialists or ICT Project Managers. Employment sectors include Telecommunication companies, Software Development companies, IT Consultancy companies, Research organizations and Government agencies.

What you’ll learn

  • Computer networks: design, implementation and maintenance of Local Area Networks (LAN), Wide Area Networks (WAN) and wireless. Network protocols, network security, routing and switching.

  • Software development: basic programming languages for Web services and for the management of ICT infrastructures. Software design and coding, testing and debugging, software project management and software quality assurance.

  • Telecommunications: communication systems for voice, video and data transmission. Telecommunication networks, mobile, satellite, optical communications, signal processing.

  • Internet of Things (IoT): IoT technologies, such as sensor networks, data analytics, and application development.

  • CyberSecurity: encryption techniques, network security protocols, vulnerability assessment and defence against hacking techniques.

Learning path

  • The Master’s Degree (“Corso di Laurea Magistrale” in Italian) in “ICT and Internet Engineering” includes courses and other formative activities for a total of 120 credits (“CFU”). The programme includes 4 mandatory courses respectively in the areas of telecommunications, mobile networks, remote sensing and software engineering. Other courses are mainly chosen by the student but still subject to approval by the course advisory board. Final thesis provides 18 credits

  • During the first year the students will explore the fundamental concepts of telecommunications, mobile networks, remote sensing and software engineering.

    In the second year, they will explore many other concepts from different areas of interest, depending on the study plan decided by each student and their selection of optional courses.

  • Some of the possible study plans to choose from are Cybersecurity, Internet of Things and Cloud, Space Integrated Systems, Sensing Systems and Connectivity Infrastructures.

    Many of the courses will include some laboratories with practical experiences where students can learn to put what they have studied into practice and in addition, they will have to opportunity to participate in several seminars to enrich their knowledge even more.

All the different aspects of ICT will be covered in order to offer a rapid adaptation to the new professional and formative needs.

Balancing theory and practice

Many subjects have a practical part in laboratories.
