General presentation of the study programme The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering requires two years of training after obtaining the Bachelor of Science Degree. It enriches the curriculum of the graduate with the necessary theoretical and scientific formation, in order to develop the knowledge and ability to design and innovate in a constantly evolving field. The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering covers many disciplines apparently far from each other that have developed over the years from a common cultural basis. This Engineering field deals with the study, design, implementation, and management of communication networks (including the Internet), information transmission systems and devices, processing systems for voice, sound, data, images, and remote sensing. The Telecommunication Engineering allows to deliver applications and services to users anywhere in the world: e-commerce, real-time multimedia applications, secure e-banking, remote medical diagnostics, exchange of music and video on both fixed and mobile devices. Moreover advanced technologies for the Earth surface monitoring and for oil exploration are developed within the Telecommunications Engineering area. The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering allows flexibility in the definition of the individual study program with the opportunity to specialize in areas of growing interest such as: Communications systems and transmission techniques Communications networks Signal processing Page 2 of 22

Technologies and devices Internet engineering Smart interconnected objects Multimedia Remote sensing Wireless communications and networks Optical communications and networks Satellite and navigation systems Detailed information on Telecommunication Engineering can be found in the study program web site (http://commtech.dei.polimi.it/en). 3. Learning objectives The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering is characterized by a strong scientific and technological curriculum. The goal is to train experts who can understand and contribute to the technological evolution, using the results of research for the design and analysis of complex telecommunications systems in several industrial sectors of high technology often multidisciplinary. A graduate of the second level will then have acquired a good knowledge of the mathematical tools necessary to analyze and design complex telecommunication systems, he will have gained a thorough understanding of advanced technologies that are currently used in the various fields of telecommunications. Moreover he will have developed a good ability to explore and assess the market trends in view of innovative applications, having cultivated the attitude of teamwork and the ability to present the results of his/her work in a clear and organized way.

4. Organization of the study programme and further studies 4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications Telecommunication Engineering is a two-year program leading to a Master of Science degree. Graduates can apply for a three-year doctoral program. Each of the two-year degree course is divided into two semesters. To allow access to the course Master of Science at the beginning of each semester, the first and the second half of each year are interchangeable. The lessons can then be followed without significant problems both in the natural order (1st semester, 2nd semester) and in the reverse order (2nd semester, 1st semester). 4.2 Further Studies The qualification grants access to "Dottorato di Ricerca" (Research Doctorate), "Corso di Specializzazione di secondo livello" (2nd level Specialization Course) and "Master Universitario di secondo livello" (2nd level University Master) Page 4 of 22

A Master Degree is required to apply for a position of Doctorate (PhD) student. 5. Professional opportunities and work market 5.1 Professional status of the degree 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. 5.2 Careers options and profiles Telecommunication Engineering offers challenging and fulfilling careers for engineering technologists and managers in many fields where Telecommunications are of paramount importance. A Telecommunication Engineer can cover key positions in the field of research, development, innovation and management of infrastructures of communications services working with big or small medium size companies that today represent the most dynamic part of this economic sector. Good employment positions can be found as network experts in fields different from Telecommunications as signal processing experts in oil as well as mechanical and biomedical companies. The most motivated and creative students can also start new companies as shown by the several successful cases of spin-off companies founded in the framework of our study program (more information about the spin-off companies of Telecommunication Engineering can be found on the web site http://ccs.dei.polimi.it/telecomunicazioni/). Most of the students who graduate in Telecommunication Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano find good job opportunities in Italy and abroad thanks to their good technical preparation and to the favorable geographic location of our university at the center of the area with the highest density and quality of Communication Technologies companies in Italy and with relations with most of the industrial districts around the world. 6.

beginning of each academic year. The names of professors for each Course, together with their subject, will be available on the degree program starting from the month of September. The degree program is annually published on the website of Politecnico di Milano. 10. Infrastructures and laboratories Telecommunication Engineering students will have access to all of the Politecnico di Milano facilities (computer-equipped rooms, libraries, studios, canteens, sports facilities). Various courses foresee laboratory that will be carried out in computer-equipped rooms or experimental laboratories. Further information concerning this topic is available on the degree program. The degree program is annually published on the website of Politecnico di Milano. 11. International context The Master of Science in Telecommunication Engineering has a high percentage of foreign students (more than 30%) and offers the opportunity to live a study experience in a dynamic and international environment with people of different cultures. Research in the Politecnico di Milano proceeds alongside the extensive network of cooperative relationships and connections with other Italian and foreign universities, with public and private research centres and with the industrial system. The quality and effect of research carried out at the Politecnico have been confirmed in recent years by the increase in connections with the international scientific community. Testimony to this is the large number of research projects and programs that have recently been undertaken with the best European and worldwide universities, from North America tosouth-east Asia. In 2007, the university departments submitted their research to an international assessment process (peer review). In order to ensure impartiality of the assessment, the coordinators of the assessment panels have been chosen by the Chancellors from European technical universities (for the most part chosen amongst those that are higher than the Politecnico in international rankings), and in turn, the coordinators chosen have decided the composition of their groups. In total, the process has seen participation by 81 experts (not one Italian) from 52 universities and international research centres. The university obtained a total score of 3 (good at International level) on a scale of 1 to 4 (excellent). Out of the 1270 professors involved in the peer review process, 39% were valued excellent at International level and 21% were valued good at International level. Most of the research groups concerning the Telecommunications Engineering Bachelor of Science were rated "excellent at international level". 12. Internationalization Students on the Telecommunications Engineering program can access international study Page 21 of 22

programs, based on the agreements held with numerous foreign institutions. Every year various students, both Italian and foreign, take part in international exchanges. Students chosen for a specific program can enrich their profiles by studying abroad and earning credits that are fully acknowledged by the Politecnico di Milano. There are multiple opportunities on offer. Amongst them are the following: study periods abroad with the Erasmus program, or other non-eu special programs; double degree programs (foreseeing awarding of a double master of science over a 3 year period, of which two are spent in a partner institution abroad); traineeship in companies or foreign university laboratories; writing the final thesis abroad. Information on exchange programs, double degree projects and international internships, European research and international relations projects are available on the degree program. The degree program is annually published on the website of Politecnico di Milano. 13. Quantitative data 14.
