Introduction
The Bachelor&rsquo's Degree program in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering combines three major disciplines in the Information Engineering area: Computer Engineering, Information and Communications Engineering, and Electronic Engineering. The program shares an interdisciplinary core of subjects and provides two curricula, one in Italian and one taught in English. Both last 3 years and require 180 credits. The curriculum in English offers, alongside the first sequence of common courses, cross-disciplinary training by integrating courses that characterize each of the three areas.
The Bachelor's degree in Computer, Communications, and Electronics Engineering provides students with general skills in the Information Engineering area and, depending on the chosen orientation, specific skills in the field of Information technology, telecommunications, and electronics. The main academic areas are:
- Mathematics and physics
- Economics and business organization
- Computer engineering
- Technologies and systems for telecommunications
- Electronic devices and circuits
In addition to the basic courses, specialization courses are added for the acquisition of supplementary methodological or professional skills. The study course is strongly project-based: it is focused on the use of laboratories and promotes activities for the design of devices and software.
Program Outcome
The Bachelor’s degree in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering aims to train students with specific skills requested in the fields of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICT is an engine of economic growth; in this sector, added value and employment grow at a much higher rate than in the total industry. The professional figure to be trained corresponds to an engineer who can work in a team and address and solve problems, according to the chosen study path, in the fields of information technology, telecommunications, and electronics, using innovative methods and techniques.

Career Opportunities
The Bachelor’s degree in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering aims to train students with specific in-demand skills in Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICT is an engine of economic growth and in this sector added value and employment grow at a much higher rate than in the global industry. The professional figure to be trained corresponds to an engineer working in a team to address and solve problems using innovative methods, techniques, and tools.
Employment Opportunities After Completing the Program
This professional figure responds to the needs of the labor market, which requires an in-depth understanding of the systems, methodologies, and technologies within the entire ICT area, as well as the ability to grasp relations between the various disciplines and to deal professionally with interdisciplinary problems.
The degree program pursues a training plan consistent with the profile of the following professional figures:
- Graduate Software Systems Technicians
- Graduate Information Processing Systems Technicians
- Graduated telecommunications technicians
- Designers of systems for processing and receiving-transmission of information
- Electronic graduated technicians
- Digital architectures and systems designers
- Analog and signal conditioning circuit designers
- Hardware/software developers of embedded and integrated systems.
According to the professional opportunities classified by ISTAT (Italian National Statistical Institute), graduates in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering can undertake one of the following professions:
- Electronics Engineers - (2.2.1.4.1)
- Design engineers of computers and their peripherals - (2.2.1.4.2)
- Telecommunications engineers - (2.2.1.4.3)

Scholarships for non-EU citizens living abroad
The University of Trento offers scholarships for top-scored non-EU students living abroad applying for a Bachelor's Degree according to the English TOLC-I test admission ranking.
Only a few scholarships will be available and they will be awarded by the Admission Committee: the minimum application score for receiving the scholarship is 70 points. Students who benefit from a UniTrento scholarship will also have their tuition fees waived.
For more information please see the UniTrento scholarships web page.
Scholarships for EU Citizens and Non-EU citizens regularly living in Italy (fiscal residence)
Information on the tuition fees and ISEE is available on our website. Please note that if you do not want to calculate the ISEE index (economic index of the financial situation of your family), you will have to pay the maximum amount.
Once the ISEE has been calculated students, if eligible, can apply for the Opera Universitaria scholarship, starting from June/July.
