2. General presentation of the study programme

The Master's Degree (second level) in Telecommunications Engineering requires two years of training following the achievement of the Bachelor's Degree (first level). It enriches the graduate's training curriculum with the necessary theoretical-scientific preparation, to develop knowledge, and design and innovation skills in a constantly evolving field.

 

The degree course offers the tools to understand and address the continuously and rapidly evolving needs of the world of INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES. The course prepares ENGINEERS with a MULTIDISCIPLINARY education capable of mastering the varied methodologies for the design and implementation of remote information transfer systems. The Telecommunications Engineer therefore acquires advanced skills in four macro-areas: the design and implementation of devices for the transmission of information, the design, implementation and optimization of technologies for systems and means of communication, the digital processing of signals and the numerical characterization of multimedia signals (audio, video, images), and the design/management of telecommunications networks.

 

Within the 4 macro-areas mentioned above, the training path allows the student/future graduate to deepen his/her knowledge and specialize in multiple specific sub-areas of the world of Telecommunications such as the design and management of architecture and services for the Internet and the Internet of Things, optical networks, satellite networks and future generation mobile radio networks; remote sensing of the Earth and the analysis of data and multimedia signals (video, images, audio); the characterization of electromagnetic signal propagation in guided media and in the air, the design of optical and electronic devices and components for the transmission of information at a distance.

 

The training program is based on a practical/laboratory teaching approach that, starting from solid methodological foundations in mathematics and physics, guides the student towards learning objectives through practical and laboratory experiences that include experimental laboratories, project laboratories and/or computer laboratories.

 

The course of study in Telecommunications Engineering at Politecnico di Milano has historically been extremely attractive both for foreign students and for students from other universities on Italian soil. The multicultural nature of the classes of students who follow the training program is itself an extremely enriching factor that allows the student's preparation to be completed at 360 degrees.

 

The preparation provided by the Telecommunications Engineering program allows its graduates and master's graduates to find employment in almost all areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) both as employees of companies producing and operating equipment, systems and infrastructures for the acquisition, transport and use of information, and companies providing telecommunications and remote sensing services, and as self-entrepreneurs in high-tech companies and start-ups.

 

More detailed information on the activities of Telecommunications Engineering can be found on the website of the course of study (https://www.ccstlc.polimi.it) which also contains the answers to the most frequently asked questions by new students, some notes and videos on the contents of the courses, announcements on events and information initiatives, and the indications of the professors and contact persons of the course of study to whom to ask for any clarifications.



3. Learning objectives

The study course aims to provide the theoretical/practical technical tools, useful for modeling and managing complex telecommunications systems. The Master's Degree course, in fact, prepares engineers capable of understanding, designing, creating, optimizing and using the most advanced technologies developed in the Telecommunications sector. In detail, the objective of the preparation provided by the course of study in Telecommunications Engineering is twofold: (i) the Degree Course provides the theoretical and methodological bases for in-depth knowledge of the theoretical-scientific aspects of engineering, both in general and, specifically, the issues of telecommunications engineering; (ii) the Degree Course provides in-depth knowledge and technical-practical skills on advanced technologies in the Telecommunications sector.

The aim of the course of study is therefore to train an engineer capable of formulating and mastering complex problems in the reference areas and solving them through the use of advanced techniques in the four macro-areas characterizing telecommunications engineering: signal processing, information transmission and information theory, telecommunications networks and applied electromagnetism.

The training course also aims to prepare engineers characterized by the ability to work in interdisciplinary design contexts and with a strong vocation for technological innovation.

The Master of Science in Telecommunications Engineering aims - on the basis of long experience and a careful analysis of the new needs and new opportunities that appear to emerge in the external national and international context - to create a high-profile professional figure, specialized in the design and management of systems and devices for communications and high-tech and highly complex telecommunications networks. The graduate in Telecommunications Engineering has a highly interdisciplinary professional profile that allows them to undertake both more technical/specialized careers in the reference areas, and technical/managerial careers.

The training path includes both methodological courses and applicative/vertical courses; the methodological courses provide the basic theoretical tools both in the areas characterizing telecommunications engineering (electromagnetism, communication systems, digital signal processing and telecommunications networks) and in similar general areas of ICT (electronics, computer science, mathematics and physics). The vertical/applicative courses provide in-depth skills on specific technologies in the reference areas.

The training path contains a balanced mix of methodological and applicative courses and can be adapted very flexibly to the needs and passions of the individual student. Finally, the training path has a strong propensity for practical activities for which laboratory activities (computer laboratory, experimental laboratory) and project activities are often included in both the methodological courses and the applicative courses.



4. Organization of the study programme and further studies

4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications

The Degree Course in Telecommunications Engineering offers a Master's Degree program lasting two years, each of which is divided into two semesters.

6. Enrolment

6.1 Access requirements

First cycle degree (level 6 EQF) or comparable qualification


The access to the Master of Science curriculum for INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS is regulated by the rules reported in the web site:

Application Procedures: polimi

For students with a bachelor degree from an Italian university, please refer to the version of the educational rules in Italian.

An Admission Committee of the study program in Telecommunication Engineering evaluates all the admission requests and take final decisions based on the curriculum of each candidate and the documents provided in the application.

Admission to the program does not imply the validation of credits that the students have earned in their former career. The obligations to be satisfied by the candidates in order to get the MSc Degree are determined on an individual basis by the Committee based on the number and type of credits earned in the student’s former career.

Upon admission,  the Admission Committee may assign obligation courses to be mandatorily inserted in the student's study plan. These obligation courses are part of the 120CFUs required for graduation (see Section 6.2).


6.1.1 Access requirements for students with a first level degree obtained at Politecnico di Milano

In addition to what is reported in the previous paragraph (6.1), students who obtain the first level degree at the Politecnico di Milano in: Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Automation Engineering, Physical Engineering, Mathematical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering or Electrical Engineering are automatically admitted to the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering if in the first level course they have obtained an average grade weighted on credits greater than or equal to (*):

  • 21/30 and obtain the degree within 3 academic years from enrollment, or
  • 22/30 and obtain the degree within 4 or more academic years from enrollment.

For all students of other first level degree courses who obtain the degree at the Politecnico di Milano the automatic admission threshold is:

  • 24/30 regardless of the duration of the first level studies.

All students who are not automatically admitted to the Master's Degree Course are still subject to the scrutiny of the specific Admissions Commission which evaluates any particular conditions of the student (working students, interruptions of studies due to illness or impediment, etc.), Master's degree exams passed as single courses (if previously discussed with the commission), professional experiences, and motivation (all information useful to the commission must be included in the notes of the application and then any documents sent to the commission - the list of members of the commission is available on the website Engineering of Telecommunications - Industrial and Information Engineering).

Based on the first level degree course and previous career, training obligations may be assigned consisting of ad hoc courses that serve to fill any gaps in the preparatory subjects (see paragraph 6.2).

All students who obtain the first level degree at Politecnico di Milano with a final average higher than 28/30 are automatically admitted to the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering without any training requirements, regardless of the first level degree they come from.

 

(*) NOTE: the rule applied by the automatic admission system considers the weighted average of the three-year degree (M) and the number of years from the first enrollment to the degree (N) and automatically admits students for whom:

M >= 21 + (N-3), if 3 <= N <= 4

M >= 22, if N > 4

The number of years N used to obtain the first level degree is calculated as half the number of semesters elapsed from the first enrollment at any Italian university until the achievement of the first level degree (considering the closing of the semesters on March 31st and October 31st).

6.1.2 Students coming from other universities, either in Italy or other Countries

Applications for admission from students coming from first level degree courses at other universities, whether Italian or foreign, are evaluated one by one by the Admissions Committee on the basis of previous career, degree grade, average of exams taken during the degree and skills acquired with respect to the Telecommunications Engineering training plan.

6.2 Requested knowledge

To be admitted to the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, it is necessary to have acquired a solid preparation in the basic disciplines in the training of an engineer, i.e. Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science and a basic knowledge of the other disciplines specific to Information Engineering, such as Electronics and Automatics. Basic knowledge of the disciplines characterizing Telecommunications Engineering is also required, which include electromagnetism, the theory of signals and communication systems and telecommunications networks.

Any training gaps of students admitted to the Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering in these areas must be filled by mandatory inclusion in the study plan and by passing "equalization" exams assigned by the Admission Commission to the Master's Degree.

Depending on the type of gap to be filled, the Admissions Committee for the Master's Degree has the right to request the inclusion in the study plan of one or more of the following "equalization" courses of 5 CFU each:

  • Fundamentals of Electromagnetic Fields
  • Fundamentals of Signals and Systems
  • Fundamentals of Communication Networks 

Such training obligations, if assigned, are not additional courses, but courses that contribute to reaching the minimum number of credits for the Master's Degree, equal to 120 CFU.

Autonomous Study Plans


The student also has the right to compile an independent study plan that does not comply with the constraints of any previously approved study plan, provided that it is consistent with the general requirements of the training plan. Independent study plans may also include courses not present in the tables of this regulation but instead require approval by the Course of Studies Council. Students who intend to submit an independent study plan, including courses not present in this teaching regulation, are invited to contact the members of the study plan commission in advance for suggestions and guidance.

The contact details of the members of the Study Plan Commission are available on the CCS website https://www.ccstlc.polimi.it


POLIMI Ambassador in Smart Infrastructures


The Politecnico di Milano wants to enhance the skills related to “smart” infrastructures in university courses.

The aim of this training course is to create new professional profiles in Smart Infrastructures: master's graduates with a high level of systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, digital skills, attention to innovation and rationalization of processes. The profile in Smart Infrastructures corresponds to a professional figure who possesses both advanced and specialized skills in an application area (infrastructures) and/or in enabling technologies (smart), and transversal skills, complementary to the specialized ones, which allow him to broaden his knowledge in the domain of smart infrastructures and to adopt a systemic approach to the design, management, innovation and study of the life cycle of infrastructures.

 

The training program develops along the path of the Master of Science in Telecommunications Engineering and defines 130 CFU (of which at least 10 in excess) as the minimum number of credits necessary to complete the training path of the chosen Master of Science and, at the same time, acquire the certification in Smart Infrastructures. The Ambassador certification in Smart Infrastructures will be reported in the Student's Diploma Supplement and a specific electronic badge will be issued by the University.

 

As part of the training path, the student must acquire at least 30 CFU in training activities functional to the Smart Infrastructures profile. These CFU must be acquired by choosing at least 10 CFU from Table A and at least 20 CFU from Table B.

In order for a course to be recognized for the purposes of the Ambassador qualification, one or more of the following conditions must occur:

  • the course selected from Table A or B must be present in the Manifesto of the A.A. of registration for the Ambassador Call;
  • the course selected from Table A or B must be present in the tables in the same A.A. of attendance (i.e. inclusion in the teaching plan). However, it is not necessary for the teaching to be taken in that academic year.

 

Failure to take the 10 extra credits and obtaining at least 30 credits in training activities functional to the profile of Ambassador in Smart Infrastructures will not preclude the student from obtaining the Master's Degree.

7.4 Foreign language

The regulations established by the University regarding the requirements for knowledge of a foreign language that must be possessed in order to be able to access the Master's Degree Courses are reported in the document "Guide to the English language". Candidates for admission are invited to read this document carefully. The minimum level required for access to the Master's Degree Course in Telecommunications Engineering coincides with the minimum of the University.

7.5 Degree examination

The Master's Degree exam focuses on the discussion of a Degree Thesis. 17 CFU are dedicated to the preparation of the Thesis, one of which is specifically dedicated to the acquisition of additional linguistic skills, certified by the writing in English of an extended summary of the Thesis.

The Degree Thesis may be written in Italian or English, but must in any case contain the extended summary written in the other language.

The general regulations of the final exam and the specific regulations of the degree course are available on the website of the School of Industrial and Information Engineering:

The names of the professors belonging to the Course of Studies and the related courses will be available on the degree program (Manifesto degli Studi) starting from September. The Manifesto degli Studi is published annually on the website of the Politecnico di Milano.


10. Infrastructures and laboratories

Students of the Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering will have access to all the facilities of the Politecnico di Milano (computer rooms, libraries, study rooms, canteens, sports facilities). Several courses include laboratory activities that will be carried out in computer rooms or in experimental laboratories.


11. International context

The Master's Degree in Telecommunications Engineering has a high percentage of foreign students and offers a study experience in a highly dynamic and international environment with people from different cultures.

Research at the Politecnico di Milano runs parallel to the dense network of cooperation and alliances with other Italian and foreign universities, with public and private research centers, and with the industrial system. The quality and impact of the research carried out by the Politecnico have been confirmed in recent years by the growth of relations with the international scientific community. Evidence of this is the large number of research projects and programs recently undertaken with the best European universities and other countries, from North America to South-East Asia.

In 2007, the 17 departments of the University submitted their research activities to an international evaluation process (peer review). To ensure the impartiality of the evaluation, the coordinators of the 17 evaluation panels were chosen by Rectors of European technical universities (chosen, for the most part, among those preceding the Polytechnic in international rankings) and, in turn, the indicated coordinators decided the composition of their groups. In total, the process involved 81 experts (none Italian) from 52 international universities and research centers.

The University was given an overall rating of 3 (good at International level) on a scale of 1 to 4 (excellence). Of the 1270 professors involved in the peer review process, 39% belong to groups rated "excellent at International level" and 21% to groups rated good at International level.


12. Internationalization

Students of the Telecommunications Engineering course can access international study programs, based on agreements with numerous partner institutions. Every year, about 20 foreign students and students from the Politecnico participate in international mobility programs. Students selected for a specific program can enrich their curriculum by spending a period abroad, and acquiring credits fully recognized by the Politecnico di Milano.

The opportunities offered are many. Among these we recall the following:

  • study period abroad within the Erasmus program, or special extra-EU programs;
  • double degree program (which provides for the achievement of a double master's degree in a period of 3 years, of which two are spent at the foreign partner institution);
  • internship at foreign companies or university laboratories;
  • development of the thesis abroad.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The maximum number of credits that a student of the master's degree in Telecommunications Engineering of the Politecnico di Milano can acquire abroad through the Erasmus program is 30 credits (corresponding to one semester).


13. Quantitative data

The University Evaluation Unit, also with the support of the Joint Teacher and Student Commissions of the Schools, carries out periodic analyses on the overall results and on the qualitative level of the teaching activity of the Study Courses, monitoring the training activities and the graduate's entry into the world of work. The reports and studies are available on the website of the Politecnico di Milano.
