The course in brief

Presentation

Computer Engineering is a winning career choice: in the near future, three out of every four new jobs in the fields of science and engineering will be computer-related. The Computer Engineering degree provides the methodological and technological tools to design and develop complex systems and paves the way for a wide range of professions in areas such as online service development and delivery, industrial process management and research.

From A.Y. 2024/25 the course will be delivered both in Genoa (mainly in Italian) and in Imperia (mainly in English).

Learning by doing

Computer Engineering is an opportunity both for young people looking for a stimulating job with a secure future and for companies seeking partnerships with universities of recognised value and keen to discover new talent. The integration of different skills is achieved by combining traditional lectures with practical exercises and activities. The studies conclude with a project-based activity.

Professional outlets

Computer engineers possess the ideal combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills to find immediate employment in the IT sector and in the various fields of engineering, either in companies or as freelancers. Master's studies can be pursued in various fields, including the natural continuation Computer Engineering (degree in English with the possibility of a double degree), where topics such as cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and the control of complex systems are explored.

Contents

The Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering aims to ensure that students have an adequate command of general scientific methods and content, as well as the acquisition of specific professional knowledge in the field of computer engineering. The training is oriented towards the creation of professionals who possess both a basic technical-scientific culture, on which to build any subsequent development possibilities for those who intend to continue on to the Master's degree, and specific professional and technological skills, for those who prefer to enter the world of work immediately and easily.

To this end, the course integrates the essential elements of the scientific disciplines with the tools and methods to design, develop and manage hardware and software technologies within application fields such as: information management and processing, computer networks, software production and management, modelling of complex systems and automatic controls.

Computer Engineering is the union of two of the most professionally important words of the present and the future: Engineering, with its interdisciplinary characteristics, ability to approach and solve even the most complex problems, and informatics, the most pervasive, disruptive and innovative discipline of our time.
