The graduate in Telecommunications Engineering can take an examination to get an engineering license and join the Italian professional register of information engineers. There exist different registers for graduates holding a Bachelor of Science degree and graduates holding a Master of Science degree. However, in Italy it is not usually necessary to belong to the national register of engineers in order to practice, either in industry or in public administration.
The Master of Science program in Telecommunications Engineering consists of a total of 120 credits (CFU- "Crediti Formativi Universitari") according to the following specifications: - at least 50 credits in core courses (Telecommunications, Electromagnetic fields); - at least 12 credits in complementary courses; - 10 credits in electives; - 20 credits for the Master Thesis. Out of 20 credits, one is specifically dedicated to the acquisition of additional language skills.
