ICT for Internet and multimedia University of Padua

Overview

Focusing on devices, networks, transmission channels (wireless, optical channels and photonics), signals, as well as cross-disciplinary issues (big data, machine learning and artificial intelligence, mathematical optimization), the programme offers strong theoretical courses, plenty of laboratory classes and applied research-oriented teaching towards advanced technologies for future society.

Career opportunities

Graduates work as experts in the analysis, design, planning and management of complex ICT systems and their applications; network and telecommunication system operators; manufacturers in the ICT sector and defence; management and development of ICT applications and services; system integrators and ICT consulting firms; regulatory bodies, standardisation bodies, and certification bodies; research and development centres, and Academia; software houses; engineering consultants; networked multimedia services (business and entertainment). Graduates can also find occupations in a broad range of sectors dealing with multimedia signals, data analysis and artificial intelligence. For example, in the design of ICT systems for the analysis and transmission of audio/video signals, virtual/extended reality applications, but also as data analysts or machine learning developers with applications to ICT systems and networks (WiFi / mobile / satellite networks, Internet of Things, etc.), or cybersecurity specialists involved in the design and protection of digital systems and communication networks.
