The curriculum of the Master of Science in Control Engineering for the academic year 2017-18 can be downloaded here (only in Italian). The relevant parts of the organization of studies are reported below.

120 credits are needed for the master degree. These are earned as follows

• 2 mandatory core courses, for a total of 24 credits, during the two semesters of the first year
• 6 courses chosen from a group of 10 core courses, totaling 36 credits
• 3 courses chosen from a group of 7 completing courses, totaling 18 credits
• other 12 credits from courses of free choice by the student
• internship (6 credits) and master thesis (24 credits) during the second year

Students should pass a total of 12 exams. Courses of free choice count altogether as a single exam.
