Communications Engineering

Through a project-based-learning approach with a massive amount of laboratory hours, in the Communications Engineering (CE) MSc degree you will learn how to design and operate any modern communication system, including satellite and radio links, fiber optic networks, computer networks, and wireless networks. You will also learn how to develop and use state-of-the-art tools, such as communication systems simulators and machine learning, as well as how to process signals, images and videos.

Experimental Activities and Laboratories

Many courses include lab activities in advanced research labs for a strong learning-by-doing approach. Advanced simulators and digital-twins of communications equipment allows for easy access to practical training. More than 300 hours are devoted to practical training on technologies related to wireless and optical communication, networking, signal processing. Summing with 300 hours of thesis activity, about half of the hours in the full degree are devoted to practical skills:

Python and Matlab coding

Programming for software-defined communications

Network management and control

Communications and network simulations

Network measurements

Optical and wireless transmissions

Deep learning, neural networks training and inference

Job Placement

Higher salaries, high occupancy: according to official Almalaurea stats, 93.8% of our graduated students is employed in the first year after graduation, and the average net income reaches 2167 Euros in three years (2020 stats for Communications and Computer Networks Engineering).

A tight link with the industry: many opportunities for theses and internships in companies, as well as an excellent job placement. Seminars from companies on advanced topics and job experiences.
