University of Trieste

The International Master's Degree in Neuroscience is the first Master’s Degree of its kind in Italy, and it is innovative by definition. The teaching staff comes from the former Faculties of Sciences, Medicine, Pharmacy, Psychology, and Engineering of the University of Trieste, and it is organized in collaboration with neurobiology professors of the International School for Advanced Studies (ISAS-SISSA), with Italian and foreign experts from the pharmaceutical and biomedical industry and with "Visiting Professors" from prestigious European and USA universities. The International NS course is also included in the Network of European Neuroscience Schools.

The main objective of the International Master’s Degree in Neuroscience is to provide a multidisciplinary training in both basic and applied neurobiology, spanning from single molecules to whole organisms in normal or pathological conditions. Students will be introduced to new tools and methods enabling them to investigate how the brain works, interacts with the body, drives behavior, and forms the basis for the complex biological machine, which has allowed humans to achieve amazing milestones in artistic creativity, technology, and invention. Students will acquire strong professional skills for the development of fundamental knowledge and innovative therapies and diagnostics for more than 1,000 nervous system disorders that affect over 1 billion people worldwide....

The Master's Degree programme offers cultural preparation and high-level professional training in the area of mathematics and induces the ability to set up and solve complex problems, even in operational settings, suitable for a managerial placement in the job market. The language of the course is English.

The academic year includes two didactic periods and three periods for the exam sessions.

To enroll in the Master's Degree Programme, a student must have a Degree, or another qualification obtained in Italy or abroad recognized as suitable.

The students must satisfy one of the following curricular requirements:

The Master degree in Data Science and Scientific Computing (DSSC) aims to train professionals of the future: experts who are in high demand because of the digitalization of society and the evolution of Industry 4.0.

The Master degree is offered by the Universities of Trieste and Udine, in collaboration with SISSA (International School for Advanced Studies), ICTP (International Centre for Theoretical Physics), and of many other research institutions and companies. DSSC is an international course and is taught in English.

Students will acquire theoretical knowledge and learn how to apply it to solve practical problems, through individual exercises, group projects, seminars, and internships. Graduates could enter directly the business world or continue their studies with a Ph.D.... [-]

The course aims to provide postgraduate students with a solid scientific preparation and excellent practical skills in frontier fields of Physical Sciences. The course offers training in experimental analysis and the use of modern technologies and devices combined with in-depth study of theoretical elements and mathematical and computing techniques, which will enable postgraduates to carry out scientific research in complete autonomy and to develop problem solving skills that they will be able to apply in highly qualified jobs or in further studies, if they wish to enter the world of research or to improve their professional stance (i.e. Ph.D., Specialisation Schools where Physics is important)....

The international Master of Science (MSc) in ‘Production Engineering and Management’ program prepares prospective managers and executives for work in small and medium enterprises (SME) of manufacturing sectors. The joint curriculum organized by the University of Applied Sciences - Hochschule-OstWestfalen-Lippe (Germany) and the University of Trieste offers the incentive of study for six months in another university with the opportunity to gain personal experience in an international environment. Teaching is conducted in English.

The program offers advanced training in the field of industrial and management engineering and emphasizes the topics of “lean manufacturing” and the implementation of the “industry 4.0” paradigm. Part of the teaching staff comes directly from the fields of industrial production and research. Employment is immediate after graduation.... [-]
