DESCRIPTION: 

The Bachelor’s programme in Applied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence aims at providing learners with specific skills in artificial intelligence and the most important areas of applied computing. Graduates in Applied Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence will have a solid foundational background as well as technical training. This combination of perspectives will allow them to keep up with the most recent advancements of information and communication technology and provide a basis for a rapid career in the field. In addition, they will be able to access postgraduate programmes in the area of information technology.

The detailed exposure to the fields of applied computer science and artificial intelligence will equip graduates with: familiarity with the scientific method of investigation; 

  • the ability to understand and make proper use of mathematical tools; 
  • methodological knowledge and basic skills in a wide range of fields of science, information and communication
  • technologies, including the most modern artificial intelligence techniques; 
  • knowledge of the subject directly in English, so as to be ready to enter the international academic and industry contexts.


To this end, the first two years of the programme, which are the same for all students, cover topics that are deemed as indispensable for the cultural and technical training of the graduate, such as mathematics, physics and statistics, computer science and artificial intelligence. During the third year, in addition to completing this training, students will be able to choose courses that will characterise their profile in the most relevant areas of applied computer science. Furthermore, students will integrate their education path with subjects in economics or law. The programme also includes an internship, to be carried out either within companies in the IT sector (typically on topics such as software design and development, data analysis, artificial intelligence, systems and networks) or at the university, investigating advanced research issues in applied computer science and artificial intelligence within the academic environment.

PRE-SELECTION

To be preselected for the degree program, a high school diploma (or equivalent qualification) earned after no less than 12 years of studies is required. Also, adequate knowledge of English is necessary. To successfully tackle the study path, basic knowledge of physics and mathematics is needed, which is normally provided by the upper secondary school. Logical and comprehension skills of written texts and speech are also required, as well as mastery of expression through writing. To that end, we require that one (or more) of the following tests be successfully passed: SAT (College Board), English TOLC-I (CISIA), Italian TOLC-I or TOLC-S with the additional English section (CISIA). Documents attesting achievements that are of interest to the pre-selection should be added there – for example, the Advanced Placement (AP) tests.

    CAVEAT

The candidate is required to consistently use the same email address during the whole process (i.e., for the registration to the pre-selection platform, the entry tests, all email communications, etc.). Using different email addresses could cause exclusion from the pre-selection and admission procedures.

Notice that the preselection does not suffice for the enrolment. Successful preselection applicants are required to take part in the subsequent admission procedure (the call is going to be published soon). Please make sure to carefully check every piece of information entered and every document attached before submitting them, as the replacement or addition thereof cannot be granted once the application is submitted. 

We express our gratitude in advance for your collaboration and understanding!
