Information and communication technologies have become essential to all aspects of the society, including public services, finance, banking, manufacturing, industry, transportation, energy, education, agriculture, security, environmental monitoring, and robotics.

The Master in Telecommunications Engineering is taught in English and aims at preparing professionals able to design, develop, and maintain telecommunications services and network infrastructures. This requires a vast body of knowledge, including signal processing, modulation, coding, networking, transmission media, and electromagnetism, as well as some aspects of electronics, automation, and computer science.

The program is aimed at talented students possessing a Bachelor's Degree (or a first-cycle degree equivalent to the Italian Laurea) in telecommunications engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other disciplines related to the information and communication technologies.

Objective
The program aims at preparing engineers with the technical and managerial skills necessary to enter careers in the design, application, installation, management, operation, and maintenance of established and emerging telecommunications systems.

Outcome
The program grants a Master of Science Degree, which is equivalent to the Italian Laurea Magistrale (second-cycle degree). Graduates will have:
  - knowledge of established and emerging telecommunications technologies;
  - competences in solving specific problems arising in telecommunications, which require, on top of a good grasp on the principles of telecommunications systems, some expertise in electronics, computer programming, and automation;
  - the ability to understand mathematical models of physical phenomena, which are important in the design of telecommunications systems;
  - the ability to design, maintain, and analyze telecommunications systems and services.

Organization
The program has a workload of 120 ECTS credits, including classes, homework, projects, internship, and thesis. The program starts every year in September, and it lasts two years for full-time students and four years for part-time students. Core modules consolidate fundamentals and improve modeling capabilities in the basic areas of telecommunications engineering, such as signal processing, modulation, coding, networking, wired and wireless transmission media, and electromagnetism, as well as in other affine areas, such as electronics, automation, and computer science. Elective courses covers more advanced topics, according to the student’s preference. Courses grant either 6 or 9 ECTS credits, which include both contact hours (about 8 per credit) and study hours (about 17 per credit). The final exam grants 12 ECTS credits and consists of the public defense of the thesis.

Admission Requirements

The Master in Telecommunications Engineering is open to candidates possessing a first class Bachelor's Degree (or a first-cycle degree equivalent to the Italian Laurea) in Telecommunications Engineering, or other related disciplines with strong skills in Telecommunications and Electromagnetics. The enrollment is subject to a preliminary assessment of the applicant's preparation. The level of English required for this Program is CEFR B2 (upper intermediate).

In particular, if you hold an Italian first-level degree (Laurea degree), the following 2 conditions must be satisfied.
1) Bachelor type and subjects. The bachelor degree must belong to the class of Information Engineering degrees (code L-8), or you should have done at least 36 credits in basic subjects (math, physics, chemistry) and at least 36 credits in specific subjects (telecommunications, electromagnetism).
2) Personal preparation. It is deemed satisfactory if:
  - you got your bachelor degree in 3 years (full-time) or 6 years (part-time);
  - the weighted average mark in the exams of the bachelor is greater then or equal to 27/30; or
  - you got your bachelor degree in at most 6 years (full-time) or 12 years (part-time), and the weighted average mark in the exams of the bachelor is greater then or equal to 25/30.
Alternatively, if the conditions on the personal preparation are not met, your preparation will be evaluated through an admission exam.

If, instead, you do not hold an Italian first-level degree (Laurea degree), your curriculum (Bachelor's degree, core and elective courses, weighted average mark in the exams, etc.) will be evaluated by a Selection Committee.

Finally, if you need a VISA, recall that enrollment is subject to the immigration rules defined by the Italian government (consider that the Master in Telecommunications Engineering is a second-cycle degree program). Detailed information is available on the website “ Studenti Stranieri ” (english version  here ) managed by the Ministry of Universities and Research and on the website of the  Italian diplomatic representatives  (Embassies, Consulates, or Cultural Institutes) in the country of the applicant. Early application is strongly encouraged, as the immigration rules require that a limited number of students be enrolled in the program yearly; applications are processed on a first come, first served basis.
