As provided for by the regulations in force, to be admitted to the Degree Course it is necessary to be in possession of a high school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad and recognised as suitable.

Admission to the Degree Course requires good knowledge of written and oral Italian, logical reasoning skills, knowledge and ability to use the main results of basic mathematics and the fundamentals of the experimental sciences.

The knowledge and skills required are verified by means of an entry test. If the result is not positive, specific additional training obligations (OFA) are indicated. The additional educational obligations assigned must be fulfilled within the first year of the course.

For non-EU students residing abroad, except in the cases of exemption expressly indicated in the regulations for access of foreign students to university courses issued by the MIUR, an Italian language proficiency test must be passed prior to enrolment.

The Degree Programme in Computer Engineering has a limited number of students in order to guarantee them a place in the laboratories and classrooms of adequate capacity, as the maximum number has never been reached. Therefore, no student was ever excluded from the procedure.

All the information on how to access, the criteria, and the enrolment procedure will be detailed in the call for applications.

Students who have been admitted to the Degree Programme with a score in the overall TOLC-I of less than 16 or a score in the Mathematics section of less than 10 must take an Additional Learning Requirement (ALR) compensation test before they can take the Mathematics or Physics examinations.

Non-EU students living abroad must take an Italian language proficiency test.

S/he works as analyst-programmer for the development and integration of any type of software application, both proprietary and open source.

IT engineer focused on the design and production of software applications, and on digital data processing.
IT companies of any size, industrial, manufacturing and service businesses, public administrations and freelance professional service as consultant.
However, the preparation is wide-ranging and constitutes an appropriate basis for further studies with a Master's degree.

The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Computer Engineering is mainly aimed at providing graduates with an adequate mastery of general scientific methods and contents, which are useful to complete their own professional development profitably through subsequent training programmes and - when entering the job market - to adapt to the fast technological development that is typical of Computer Engineering and the production sectors it applies to.
In order to achieve such priority training objective, the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Computer Engineering is aimed at providing graduates with a suitable training in the following learning fields:
1) Basic sciences for a sound preparation in mathematics, physics, and information technology, which are essential to interpret, describe and solve the issues of engineering in general and ICT engineering in particular;
2) IT for the Information and Communication Technology, to provide the knowledge of the basic principles of data processing systems and the skills essential to use them;
3) Other ICT subjects to offer a wide scope training in information engineering, aimed to provide the essential knowledge and skills in some of the additional subjects that are distinctive for the Degree Class;
4) Similar and integrating subjects, for a suitable training in some similar and integrating subjects that are useful to provide further knowledge of a scientific and engineering nature.

Based on the learning areas listed above, the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Computer Engineering provides a broad and solid cultural and methodological education. This will make it possible to create customised pathways that allow training geared towards entry into the world of work, or into a first-level university master's degree programme, or aimed at continuing studies in a Master's degree programme.

To that purpose, the Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Computer Engineering also offers its students the opportunity to:
a) carry out training activities aimed at facilitating the professional choices through the direct knowledge of the employment sector that students can access with this qualification, by participating in training internships (9 ECTS credits);
b) gain further skills in specific engineering fields;
c) gain skills in subjects that are useful to understand the legal, social and ethical contexts of the engineering profession.

The communication abilities required to a future IT Engineer specifically refer to the ability to communicate information, ideas, issues, and solutions to specialist and non-specialist counterparties, both orally and in writing, in Italian and in English.
Such abilities (in Italian) are ascertained through written and/or oral examinations provided in the single teachings, and possibly by taking up an internship or project activity.
As regards communication skills in English in particular, besides possessing level B1 of the Common European Reference Framework, students may take some examinations abroad thanks to the opportunities offered by the Erasmus Programme.

The future IT Engineers are required to possess:
a) The ability to collect and interpret data, and to formulate personal opinions on such data;
b) The ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions on the social and physical, and environmental context.
The Degree Programme in Computer Engineering is aimed at providing students with the suitable methodological and operational tools useful to independently and objectively deal with both the typical issues relating to the design and production of software applications, and the processing of digital data.
The assessment of the expected results is carried out in the single teachings and more specifically in those of the sector of the systems for the information processing (ING-INF/05), all providing for laboratory activities.

The ability to learn is essential because future IT engineers are required to continuously refresh their knowledge, in light of the development of both concepts and applications that are distinctive of IT Engineering.
In addition, the ability to learn may be requested to undertake further studies with a high level of independence.
These skills, in addition to the individual courses, in which the student may be asked to independently deepen his or her knowledge in particular topics of interest, are tested primarily in the preparation of the paper for the final examination and, possibly, in the performance of an internship or project activity.
