Language Italian
Duration 2 yearsCourse description
The Master’s degree program aims at further developing knowledge of the most methodological aspects of Computer Engineering with particular reference to those requiring a high level of abstraction, allowing students to improve the ability to model reality, acquire adequate knowledge in the integration of different and sophisticated skills and technologies and increase their ability to interact in technological innovation processes. Subjects mainly belong to three sectors: artificial intelligence and machine learning, cybersecurity, big data and high-performance computing.
Students with a three-year university degree or qualification from any Italian university (or a foreign equivalent degree based on legal requirements) with a sufficient number of ETCS in the fields of mathematics, physics and, above all, computer engineering.
The Course aims to help students acquire advanced design skills and the ability to fully exploit technological innovation. This is pursued through the expansion of the theoretical and scientific-mathematical bases of Computer Engineering and modern methods and tools for the design of processing systems.
