This programme, unique in Italy, aims to train professionals and scientists with in-depth and critical knowledge of the methodologies, techniques and tools used in navigation. It is divided into three curricula, each of which trains specialists in the fields of navigation, aeronautics and climatology.
The course opens up various career opportunities specific to the chosen specialisation, for example in organisations and companies in the field of navigation (sea, air, land), national and international research bodies or public bodies for meteorological and oceanographic monitoring. Graduates with a master’s degree in STN also have the skills to access public or private selection procedures in specific relevant fields.
The Master’s Degree Programme in Navigation Science and Technology (STN), which is unique in Italy, is divided into three curricula, each of which trains specialists in the relevant field:
Graduates with a master’s degree in STN are able to work independently and in teams in technical and scientific work environments, performing managerial and organisational tasks. Three keywords characterise the educational path: knowledge, competence and ability, inherent to the scientific and technical aspects of the degree programme and its curriculum.

Graduates are also able to work in applied research and have the knowledge and skills to understand the most advanced and current developments in navigation, space technologies and climate in the international research context.
Master’s degree graduates in Navigation Science and Technology acquire, also through laboratory activities and collaborations with companies and research laboratories, an ability to understand, interact with and solve application problems arising from diverse scientific and technological fields. Graduates are able to critically and consciously apply the experimental and theoretical-modelling methodologies and tools of navigation, climate and space technologies and to objectively and quantitatively analyse solutions to real-world application problems. This is ensured by classroom and laboratory teaching activities and by mid-course and final tests.
All information on the course, from admission to the final exam, for all students interested in enrolling in the Master’s Degree Course in Navigation Science and Technology.
Admission requirements
To enrol in the Master’s Degree programme, you must have a Bachelor’s Degree, or a university diploma, or another qualification obtained abroad, recognised as suitable by current legislation, regardless of the location and class of origin, which requires the acquisition of a certain number of credits relating to specific characterising subject areas. In particular, the following minimum curricular requirements are necessary for enrolment in the Master’s Degree Programme in Navigation Science and Technology (Class LM-72):
Internships and Placements
The degree programme awards 9 credits for internships and work placements. Assistance with external training periods is part of the institutional remit of the University Placement Office, whose mission is to connect the University and the world of work and offer students and graduates better opportunities for professional integration.
Internships and work placements conclude with the student preparing a written report approved by the two tutors (one from the company and one from the university) listing and describing the activities carried out. The approval of the report by the tutors, duly certified, constitutes the method of acquiring the credits required for the internship and work experience activity within the degree programme. The company tutor evaluates the internship activity carried out, but there is no mark that affects the degree mark.
Training experiences abroad are also offered. The Department of Science and Technology contributes to supporting and encouraging international student mobility through one of its lecturers who, as the departmental Erasmus coordinator, is the reference point for students of the Science and Technology of Navigation degree programme wishing to undertake periods of training abroad.
