About
The Master of Science in Engineering Management combines advanced engineering skills with management knowledge, offering an interdisciplinary education. The goal is to train professionals capable of managing complex systems, implementing innovative strategies and leading the digital and sustainable transformation of enterprises.
The skills and knowledge characterizing chef year part of the training objectives are:
- Knowledge: complex systems theory, management of production and logistics systems, business economics, technological innovation.
- Skills: process analysis and modeling, use of data analytics tools, implementation of emerging technologies.
- Soft skills: leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, effective communication in international settings.
Training objectives can be organized into four areas:
- Technical-engineering domain: provide a solid foundation in managing industrial and technological processes.
- Economic-managerial domain: develop analytical and decision-making skills in management.
- Emerging technologies domain: deepen knowledge on artificial intelligence, automation and sustainability.
- Transversal scope: improve communication and leadership skills.
The MSc provides a total of 120 ECTS spread over two academic years, with a balanced mix of:
- Dispensed Didactics and Interactive Didactics: lectures, tutorials, labs, group work and case study analysis for which 8 hours per ECTS are provided.
- Self-study: guided self-study, e-learning activities, for which 17 hours per cfu are thus provided.
The training course provides an in-depth understanding of the disciplines of Management Engineering, in the following learning areas:
- Production and logistics systems management: skills to choose transformational technologies and manage industrial plants and systems from a sustainable perspective, combining economic, environmental and social objectives.
- Digitization and business analysis: skills to implement digital technologies and interpret business data, which are essential to improve competitiveness and support strategic decisions.
- Product and process innovation: skills to introduce new technologies and optimize design and production processes in the manufacturing industry, with a focus on sustainability.
The chronological progression of training is detailed by the attached Tuning Matrix. Modes of testing include:
- Written and oral examinations to ascertain theoretical knowledge.
- Project work to assess application skills.
- Intermediate formative assessments, such as online quizzes and peer reviews, to monitor student progress.
The course is completed with a formative internship and the preparation of a final thesis, which the student may carry out through a project applied to a company case study, or performed in one of the departmental laboratories, or through a theoretical study on one of the subjects taught in the course of study under the supervision of the Course Lecturer.

How many days before graduation do I have to submit my graduation application?
The graduation application must be submitted at least 40 days before graduation.
How many days before graduation do I have to submit my project work?
The project work must be submitted at least 20 days before graduation.
What is project work?
Project work is the final project for the three-year Engineering Management course. It is a written document (without oral presentation) of about 30 pages that summarizes the knowledge acquired during the course of study. It must be carried out under the supervision of a professor, who may not belong to the course of study. The project work must take about 75 hours to complete, equivalent to two weeks. The commission assigns a score of up to three points to be added to the graduation grade. (Effective with the new regulations, starting with those who enroll in the 2025-2026 academic year.) For those who enrolled in previous academic years, the commission assigns a score of up to 7 points to be added to the degree grade.
What is the end-of-internship report?
The end-of-internship report is a mandatory document that students must write at the end of their curricular internship, whether it was carried out in a company or within the university. It describes the activities carried out, the objectives achieved, and the skills acquired. It is a document necessary for the validation of the internship.
Are the end-of-internship report and the project work the same thing?
No. These are two separate documents with different purposes:
- End-of-internship report: this provides a summary of the activities carried out, the objectives achieved, and the skills acquired during the internship, for the purpose of recognizing the expected credits.
- Project work: this is the final project for the degree course and requires a more extensive analysis, which may also be based on data or experiences gained during the internship, but cannot be limited to reporting on what was done during the activity.
How do you obtain a final grade of 110 with honors?
To obtain honors, students must achieve a degree grade of 110/110 or higher. The degree committee evaluates the student's academic record and decides whether to award honors. The award requires unanimity among all members of the committee.
In what language are the lessons held?
Lessons are delivered in English, mainly in person, with the option of attending them live online if necessary.
What bonuses can I get on my degree grade?
The bonus points described here will come into effect in the 2025-2026 academic year. For students who enrolled in previous years, the old regulations remain in force.
- Duration bonus:
- +3 points if you graduate “on time” (within the last session of the academic year),
- +1 point if you graduate within one year after the end of the program,
