Testimonial

In this Second-cycle degree course, what is immediately perceived is a strong desire on the part of the teaching staff to pass on to us students the knowledge and experience they have gained over the years.

The presence of projects, to be carried out both individually and in groups, are a first opportunity to 'get your hands dirty' with what you have seen in class and often allow you to strengthen ties with other students and the teacher, thus proving to be an opportunity for growth both professionally and interpersonally.

The topics covered during the course are varied and extremely topical; this allows us students to gain a closer insight into different areas of research in computer science, acquiring skills that are highly sought after in the world of work and a greater awareness, useful for better understanding which path to follow among the many that open up before us.
