Video presentation
Programme overview
Summary
Our Master of Science is organized in two tracks:
- Data Science & Engineering, centered on the management, analysis, and visualization of massive amounts of digital data for artificial intelligence, visual computing, data intensive computing, or business analytics
- Software Security & Engineering, devoted to the development of high-quality, innovative software systems through state of the art technologies, security assessment, hardening techniques, and standardized processes
Learning by doing
The program blends traditional classes with:
- labs activities and projects development, possibly in collaboration with the industry
- internship in the industry or in a research lab
- seminars and short courses on selected topics
Career perspectives
Depending on the plan of study, graduates qualify as senior data scientist, business intelligence analyst, AI engineer, information security officer, technical leader, project manager in the industry or in research centers, or pursue their studies toward a PhD.

Data science and engineering
The know-how and competence required to effectively manage and analyse data are pivotal in the development of technologies able to support the decision making process, and to improve quality of life by producing smarter systems or delivering better services.
You will learn to
- model, process, and extract knowledge from data,
- deal with heterogeneous, complex, and noisy data, and
- interact with domain experts and understand their problems and demands
by focusing on artificial intelligence, visual computing, data intensive computing, or business analytics technologies.
Software security and engineering
Digital technologies underlie all aspects of our life: from the ubiquitous apps everybody uses many times a day, to the less obvious software embedded into appliances, vehicles, and critical systems. Unsecure, poorly performing, badly designed software has become a threat to smooth management, safety, and security of our society. High-quality software needs to be carefully produced and maintained, through professional processes and cutting edge technologies.
You will learn
- security assessment of software systems and hardening techniques,
- development of secure-by-design software,
- high-quality methodologies for software development,
- cutting-edge technologies, and
- software project management.
