The Second cycle degree programme in ComputerScience sets out to train graduates with the following professional profiles:Software Designer and Analyst, Systems Designer and Analyst, Business StrategySpecialist in the field of Information Technology and ICT.
These professional figures have a baggage of common knowledge andcompetences, gained by the students in the first year through both mandatorycourse units and elective courses chosen by the students from a range of equallyimportant cross-cutting learning activities. In particular, the choice allowsthe students to complete the knowledge acquired in previous studies, reachinghigh professional skills through the acquisition of soft skills applied tomethods, techniques and instruments for the development of systems andapplications based on Information and Communication Technologies.
Subsequently, in the second year, the students will choose one of thethree curricula, respectively software design and analysis, IT for management,computer systems and networks. Each curriculum has a number of mandatory examsproviding the specific knowledge and competences for each of the threeprofessional profiles. The students can also choose other course units from abroader range of proposed exams, with the possibility to further specialise inthe topics of the chosen curriculum, or acquire competences common to twoprofessional figures.
Whichever curriculum chosen, Computer Science graduates will have anopen and flexible approach to problem-solving and rapid learning of innovativemethodologies and technologies; they may also work in activities requiringknowledge of scientific method. Therefore, to assure these characteristics forgraduates in Computer science, the second-cycle programme includes both studyactivities aiming to acquire advanced knowledge of both physics and appliedmathematics, and in the key areas of computing, as well as project activitiesand laboratories aiming to acquire in-the-large programming skills. The projectwork, and recourse to different learning assessment methods, including writtenand oral exams, the discussion of essay work and the production of documents,also aim to acquire a set of soft skills, the importance of which for ICTworkers has been underlined during talks with social partners.
