The degree programme in Computer Engineering and Science is one of the first in Italy to offer students a comprehensive approach to computer science, covering both engineering/design aspects and mathematical/scientific foundations.
The Master's Degree in Computer Engineering and Science serves as a natural continuation of the Bachelor program, allowing students to further deepen their theoretical, methodological, and technological expertise in computer science while acquiring practical skills relevant to the job market.
The program offers two alternative curricula: "Computer Science and Engineering" and "Intelligent Embedded Systems". More details about the Intelligent Embedded Systems curriculum (entirely taught in English) are available at this link.
The Computer Science and Engineering curriculum first aims to develop and strengthen specialized skills in the following fields: programming languages and computational paradigms; software design and development; operating systems and concurrent/multi-core programming; information systems and web technologies; distributed systems and computer networks; network and system security; machine learning.
Then, the programme gives students the possibility to choose a given number of elective courses to deepen specific topics. In particular, all second-year courses are elective and are organized into two profiles.
Data Knowledge Engineering Profile
This profile focuses on modeling and algorithms for the creation and use of knowledge in advanced business and scientific applications, falling within the reference areas of Business Intelligence, Semantic Web, and Internet-of-Things.
The elective courses of this profile include: Big Data, Business Intelligence, Data Mining, Project Management, Operational Analytics, Semantic Web.
Software Systems Engineering Profile
This profile addresses software development for modern distributed and autonomous systems, with a focus on ICT contexts such as IoT, Pervasive Computing, Smart Cities, Artificial Vision, and Robotics.
The elective courses of this profile include:
- "Software Architect" area: Advanced Software Modelling and Design, Software Architecture and Platforms, Software Process Engineering
- "Intelligent Systems" area: Intelligent Systems Engineering, Intelligent Robotic Systems, Computer Vision
Additional elective courses of the 2nd year
Internet Routing and Transport, Smart Vehicular Systems, Laboratory of Network Programmability and Automation, Deep Learning, 3D Image Analysis and Computer Vision Systems.
