The most advanced sectors at the forefront of industrial developments as well as several research fields rely on innovative technologies based on a highly scientific content. Transforming scientific knowledge into novel technologies and promoting innovation in the production processes require a thorough foundation in physics and mathematics, combined with a sound engineering mindset.

The mission of the Engineering Physics programme is to develop a highly qualified professional, trained to become an engineer of innovation. Students are trained to become capable of designing and managing innovation- and technology-oriented products and processes in diverse fields of both industry and research.

The Engineering Physics programme aims at providing students with a solid foundation – thanks to a plethora of courses focused on physics, mathematics, chemistry, computer science – together with engineering skills in the fields of mechanics, automation and electronics among others. Moreover, the lab-first approach offered by several of the programme’s courses allows students to face actual issues and learn about real-world topics throughout their entire academic career.

The Engineering Physics programme is structured in two parts – a three-year Bachelor’s degree (Laurea Triennale), followed by a two-years Master’s degree (Laurea Magistrale). A Ph.D. programme in Physics is also offered to Master’s graduates who are keen to pursue scientific and technological research further.
