Programme

The Master's plan spans 296 hour of lectures and exercises and 8 hours of meetings with the main partner companies over the  weekends of an eight-month period.

Lessons are given on Friday afternoons (2pm-6pm) and on Saturdays (9am-1pm/ 2pm-6pm). All Master’s lessons will be in presence (School of Engineering and Architecture, Viale del Risorgimento, 2 - 40136 Bologna), save for students living farther than one hour of travel to Bologna, who are offered the option to attend via Teams.

Note that remote attendance must be synchronous with lectures, with mandatory use of turned-on webcam; these requirements are to be satisfied to make presence hours count towards the minimum required for being admitted to the final exam (80% of the total).
