Graduates’ professional opportunities include all companies needing ICT expertise for development, deployment, production, and management. The high-level scientific and technological background we offer also allows graduates to be strong candidates for PhD and 2nd-level master applications. Owing to the extensive research activity of the faculty members involved in the Program, the courses are always up to date with the latest scientific and technological achievements. Professors and Research Staff are strongly involved in research projects funded by the European Commission, the European Space Agency, the Italian Space Agency, universities around the world, and many other institutions and private companies. What you will study IME is a two-year program of 120 CFUs ('credito formativo universitario' equivalent to ECTS in EU nomenclature).
