The programmes represent a joint initiative of the University of Trento and of the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa.

Università degli Studi di Trento

The University of Trento is a young, medium sized institution in a human-scale city that offers an excellent quality of life. The University of Trento has always aimed at reaching and keeping high quality standards and over the years has also been able to create a solid policy basis, aimed at delivering high quality services to its students and the territory. The result is a wide range of excellent courses, supported by a high-level scientific research profile, which achieved important confirmations at international level.

Faculty of Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences

The Faculty Mathematical, Physical and Natural Sciences is characterized by high level and thorough didactic curricula, which involve the use of modern laboratories, internships in companies and the possibility to study abroad.

Each lecturer devotes time to valuable international projects, as the amount of national and international research funds testify. The close connection between didactics and research is evident and is mainly shown during courses scheduled for the last years and in thesis projects. Another central aspect of the Faculty is technological transfer, which and is carried out both during internships for students and through collaborations with research institutes or high technology companies on the territory.

Basic scientific grounding together with technical and operational experience, development of problem-solving skills and proposing results, offer students a wide range of job opportunities in industries.

Faculties are primary members of the Departments of Physics, Mathematics and Information Engineering and Computer Science, where the research activities are carried out.

Faculty of Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering of the University of Trento is one of the most recent Faculties of the University (funded in 1985), but still it is steadily one of the top ranked Engineering Faculties in Italy. This is due to proper didactic decisions aiming to exploit the specific know-how of its members and to cover the most relevant areas in Engineering – deciding to focus on a relatively small number of focused curricula. This strategy motivated the activation of the curriculum in Telecommunications Engineering in 1999.

The Faculty stands out for its didactic internationalization projects, for research excellency and for relations with companies, planning businesses and the public administration, which offer students the chance to always have contacts with the national and international production reality, especially when preparing their theses.

The Faculty of Engineering has around 3300 enrolled students each year and around 130 professors.

The Department of Information Engineering and Computer Science - DISI

DISI at University of Trento is one of the leaders of research and development in the Information and Communication Technology sector at the Italian and European level.The Department was founded in January 2002 and represents a world-class aggregation of researchers and institutions. The Department provides a dynamic and qualified response to the ever-increasing, leading-edge competency demands in the field of ICT drawing from a productive fabric at the local, national and international level.

The Department covers three primary areas of the information and communication technology: computer science, telecommunications, and electronics. These disciplines are taught individually, but with a strong focus on interdisciplinarity. This gives DISI the ability to integrate the entire spectrum of competences needed to develop advanced technologies that underpin innovative applications and services.

Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna

The Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna of Pisa is a public university institute working in the field of applied sciences: Economic Sciences, Legal Sciences and Political Sciences for the Class of Social Sciences, and Agricultural Sciences, Medical Sciences, and Industrial and Information Engineering for the Class of Experimental Sciences.

The aim of Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna is to experiment innovative paths in education and research, so as to meet the modernization and innovation expectations of society. This mission is pursued by enhancing the autonomy and flexibility needs, which characterize Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna and which derive from its having been acknowledged as an independent university institute with special autonomy working in the field of applied sciences.
