Duration 3 yearsCourse description
The Degree Course includes three subject areas:
– Educational, whose objective is to give greater emphasis to the methodological aspects of computer science
– Professional, more focused on technological and applicative aspects of computer science
– Bioengineering, oriented to provide solid training on aspects concerning the use of information technology in the healthcare sector.
As to the educational curriculum there are four different fields of specializations: computer science, automation, telecommunications and electronics
Students with a secondary school diploma or any other qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable. Ideal candidates are students with an interest in information engineering, computer science, and mathematics. No computer science knowledge is required, but good mathematical skills are necessary
Training experts in the design, implementation and management of complex computer systems and digital technologies. There are several curricula in order for students to better face the future: continuing theirs studies in engineering (computer science, automation, telecommunications, electronics or biomedical) or enter the world of work.
The presence of the professional subject area allows graduates to enter the world of work even upon completion of the three-year program. Graduates will have high skills in programming (including web and mobile), information systems, telecommunications and networks, data analysis and software engineering.
