The Degree Course in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity was created to provide a concrete response to the skills shortage in the field of IT security. The course is therefore designed as a three-year programme to train specialised technical personnel who can be immediately employed in the cybersecurity sector in the shortest possible time.
The degree gives direct access to professions such as consultant for the security of IT systems, data and networks, technician specialising in IT technologies for the secure management of systems, networks and critical infrastructures, as well as technician specialising in the analysis and development of secure applications
The Bachelor’s degree Program in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity aims to provide future graduates with knowledge and skills in the field of system, data, and application security . Specifically, the study path is designed to train graduates who can address and manage cybersecurity issues by adopting a multidisciplinary approach that includes theoretical, methodological, and technological skills. The degree program guarantees both a solid foundational knowledge in the fields of mathematics and physics, and a strong methodological and experimental background in engineering and computer science. These skills are specialized in the context of cybersecurity.

Graduates in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity have a broad basic knowledge (provided by courses in Mathematics I and II, Physics, Algorithms and Numerical Computation), a full understanding of a computer system and its surrounding environment (courses in programming, computer architecture, networks, databases, operating systems, fundamentals of telecommunications and electromagnetic fields). Thanks to more vertical courses on cybersecurity, graduates will be able to understand the trade-offs of possible security solutions – both technological and organisational – and systematically evaluate the various alternatives (courses in security, legal aspects of computer science, organisation and management of cybersecurity).
Furthermore, courses focused on specific vertical aspects of cybersecurity enable the graduate to evaluate the trade-offs of security solutions to take informed decisions among different alternatives. These courses include cybersecurity related courses, legal aspects of computer science, and cybersecurity management and organization. The graduate is well-prepared to contribute effectively to the field of cybersecurity.
Thanks to a solid educational background, graduates in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity are able to solve numerical problems applied to IT issues. Their solid IT training enables them to create, manage and maintain moderately complex IT systems, including understanding the implications arising from their context of use.
Finally, the more specialised training provided by courses in security, legal aspects of information technology, and cybersecurity organisation and management provides graduates with the ability to design, develop, integrate and evaluate solutions to improve the security of data, services, systems and infrastructure.
All information about the course, from admission to the final exam, for all students interested in enrolling in the Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity.
Those who hold a secondary school diploma or equivalent foreign qualification pursuant to Ministerial Decree no. 270 of 22 October 2004 may enrol in the Bachelor’s Degree Course in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity.
The following knowledge and skills are required for admission to the programme: ability to communicate effectively, both in writing and orally, and to correctly interpret the meaning of a text in Italian; basic knowledge of mathematics and physics; ability to reason logically.
To be admitted to the degree programme in Engineering and Computer Science for Cybersecurity, students can take a non-selective entrance and self-assessment test (the CISIA TOLC-S national test), which aims to provide general information on the student’s preparation in the basic disciplines and their aptitude for undertaking specific studies.
Failure to pass the test will result in the assignment of Additional Educational Requirements (OFA):
Internship and placement activities are organised and carried out by the Placement Office.
The final exam consists of a written paper, with original or compiled content, on one of the relevant topics of the degree programme, developed by the candidate under the supervision and responsibility of a supervisor. The paper is discussed in a collegial setting, with the support of multimedia material prepared by the student.
The final assessment of the student will be based on the completeness of the paper, the autonomy in the analysis and development of the content, and the ability to communicate it in a rigorous, clear and concise manner, together with elements deriving from the student’s academic career.
Further information on the methods of assessment can be found in the degree programme’s teaching regulations.
