Education - Relevance to industry
-Focus courses: courses on (organizational, social,…) impact of
technology. Some examples: (Advanced) project management,
Organization studies, High tech entrepreneurship, Intellectual
property, Italian culture and language, How to do research…
-Teaching: Leading professors and lectures from industry and
private world
-Periods in industry: Stages and theses in industry
(co-supervision)
Department of
Information and Communication Technology
Education - International Dimension
-Language: English official language.
-Foreign students: 25% (increasing) in Master’s (almost 100% in
Erasmus Mundus, 60% in Doctorate), from India, China, Bangladesh,
East Europe, Europe, …
-Student exchange: key European and non-European universities.
(GeorgiaTech, University of California (USA); Tata Institute for
Fundamental Research (TIFR), IIT, IIsc (India), Bejing University,
Hong Kong, … (China))
-Double degrees: University of Edinburgh (UK), RWTH Aachen (D).
