This Bachelor's degree programme provides students with a thorough theoretical and experimental knowledge in the field of planning, development and management of systems for information generation, transmission and processing and for data statistical analysis.
In particular, the course features three different specialisations. By choosing the ‘Data Science’ curriculum, students will acquire skills that are at the heart of a data scientist’s profession, which has become topical due to the large amount of digital data generated on a daily basis by various human activities. By choosing the ‘Technologies and Information Science’ curriculum, students will be able to deepen their knowledge of some of the professionalising IT content in the field of Computer Science, such as web technologies and design, or the administration of IT systems. Finally, by choosing the ‘European Computer Science’ curriculum, students will have the opportunity to spend a year studying abroad in one of the European partner universities and obtain a double degree -- both an Italian one and that of the chosen European country.
Laboratory and practical activities and an active use of English, in particular technical English specific to ICT, are integral to the courses. The ‘Technologies and Information Science’ and ‘European Computer Science’ curricula are delivered in Italian. The ‘Data Science’ curriculum is delivered in English. Graduates will be able to work as specialised technicians in the areas of software production, data analysis and administration of IT systems, both within manufacturing companies in the areas of IT systems and computer networks, and in companies, administrations and laboratories that use complex information processing systems and methods.
Ca' Foscari University of Venice offers international educational programmes designed in collaboration with one or more partner universities, entailing the attendance of part of the study path abroad. At the conclusion of these programmes, selected students obtain a Double Degree (a diploma from Ca' Foscari and one issued by the partner university) or a Joint Degree (single degree jointly awarded by the member universities of the consortium delivering the programme), depending on the provisions of the agreements with the partner universities and the different national regulations.
Double and Joint Degrees available:
Learning activities comprise taught courses, workshop-based projects and trainings/internships so that students can acquire a broad range of competencies, both theoretical and practical, that are transferable to the world of work, as well as life-long learning skills.
Learning outcomes are verified by means of written exams, oral exams, assignments, project reports, presentations, and group as well as student-teacher discussions.
The final exam, which is assessed by a supervisor, consists in the preparation and discussion of a paper/thesis after a period of training or internship.
Professional Master’s Programmes (1st level) and Master's Degree Programmes.
Graduates may operate in the software production and data analysis sectors, within both manufacturing companies in the field of information systems and processor networks, and organisations, local authorities and laboratories using complex information processing systems and methods.
Graduates may have access to the professional licensing examination to register on the Italian roll of information engineers (section B).
The degree course has obtained the Grin stamp issued by GRIN (GRuppo di INformatica -- Italian Association of Computer Science University Professors) and AICA (Italian Association for Computer Science and Automatic Computing), which certifies the quality of degree courses in Computer Science. GRIN is aimed at organising, coordinating and promoting the institutional scientific and teaching activities of university professors and lecturers in Computer Science.
