During the course you will gain

  • Advanced computer engineering skills, with a focus on programming and managing computer systems.
  • Communications engineering skills, learning to design and manage telecommunications networks and digital systems for communications and signal processing.
  • Electronic engineering skills, focusing on the design and development of electronic devices and circuits.

You will learn to work in teams, solve complex problems and use state-of-the-art tools, thanks to specific courses in telecommunications, embedded systems and hardware and software development. This will enable you to meet the challenges of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, which is constantly growing and increasingly in demand in the world of work.

The course is characterised by project-based teaching: you will use modern laboratories and equipment to develop your technical and methodological skills. Theoretical lectures are complemented by practical exercises in which you put what you have learnt into practice, creating innovative solutions in the fields of computing, communications and electronics.

Through projects, simulations and placements, often in teams, you will learn how to solve complex and interdisciplinary problems, including machine learning, robotics, autonomous systems and computer vision, and receive a comprehensive education that is applicable to the real world of work.

Career Opportunities

The course trains engineers and technicians specialising in information and communications technology (ICT), a fast-growing sector with a wide range of career opportunities: 

  • Graduate Software Systems Technicians
  • Graduate Information Processing Systems Technicians
  • Telecommunications graduate technicians
  • Information processing and transmission systems designers
  • Electronics technicians
  • Digital architectures and systems designers
  • Analogue and signal conditioning circuit designers
  • Hardware/software developers for embedded and integrated systems.

According to ISTAT classifications, graduates in computer, communications and electronics engineering can pursue one of the following careers

  • Electronic engineers - (2.2.1.4.1)
  • Computer and peripheral design engineers - (2.2.1.4.2)
  • Telecommunications engineers - (2.2.1.4.3)
