Degree course overview

Computer Science is applied in many, and often very heterogeneous, areas. To hone specific skills, UNICAM proposes a Master of Science (M.Sc.) Degree Course in Computer Science. Four curricula are active, with the possibility of obtaining a M.Sc. Degree also valid in Iceland and in Switzerland. The course, fully delivered in English, offers an opportunity to study in Italy, as well as to go for a year in Iceland, at Reykjavik University (RU) or in Switzerland, at the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) to attend some activities and to take the relative exams. It is possible to get grants for the time spent abroad.

Employment prospects and careers

Postgraduates in Computer Science can find a job in all areas where highly skilled IT professionals are needed, i.e. professionals able to analyse, design, manage and test systems able to process, transmit and produce information, by using advanced innovative or experimental methods, paying particular attention to the standards of reliability, performance and security. Postgraduates can apply for teaching in secondary Schools and Universities, are eligible to study for PhD and to be on the Italian Engineering register, passing an exam that is carried out by UNICAM.

Entry requirements

Students who want to enroll on the M.Sc. Degree Course in Computer Science must have a First Level Degree or similar certification obtained abroad and acknowledged in Italy. To attend profitably the study program it is necessary to have acquired basic knowledge and skills in Computer Science, basic knowledge in Mathematics and in Physics, and certified knowledge of English (e.g. level BJ of Cambridge Certification). Students who have a Degree in Computer Science (Classe L-31 and Classe 6) will be directly admitted to the Degree Course without debts.

Teaching organiation of the course

You can choose among four curricula: Software System Engineering (SSE), Theoretical Computer Science (TCS), Intelligent Systems (IS) and Business Information Systems (BIS). The curriculum SSE is held in Camerino in the whole, while the other curricula require that students spend at least two semesters at the host University.
