What it is

You study mechanical systems and manufacturing technologies, industrial automation, operations and logistics, data analysis and decision-making, and sustainability and energy management, across three terms each year. Lectures are matched with integrated lab sessions, team projects, case studies from partner companies and simulation software, with daily class time kept to four or five hours to leave room for independent work. In the last term of year three you choose between a company internship tied to your thesis or a project with industry or research teams. Graduates work in manufacturing, automation, logistics, operations and quality, or continue to master's degrees in Mechanical, Energy, Management or Automation and Control Engineering.

What you need

  • Ranked on an entrance test: the TOL (in Italian), or CEnT-S (in English) or the SAT instead.
