The bachelor’s degree program in Physical and Mathematical Engineering aims to train innovation engineers with a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, a strong aptitude for basic and applied research, technologies based on new materials, and the study of complex physical phenomena. The industrial sector requires that, alongside the engineers currently available, there be a bachelor’s-level engineer who systematically addresses innovation and technology transfer, is capable of assessing the technical impact of implementing new technologies, and knows how to manage processes related to technological innovation. The program aims to train professionals with knowledge of mathematics and physics geared toward the development of advanced engineering applications, as well as interdisciplinary knowledge in the fields of electrical engineering, telecommunications, electronic measurement, computer engineering, and automation engineering. The combination of scientific and technical skills in a single professional profile enables the physics and mathematics engineer to tackle complex problems with methodological rigor, as required by industrial contexts undergoing continuous technological evolution. The primary career opportunities for graduates with a degree in Physical and Mathematical Engineering are in companies operating in sectors where advanced technologies are developed or utilized, such as materials science, laser technology, photonics and nanotechnology, quantum technology, sustainable energy technologies, and nuclear technology. In addition, physical and mathematical engineers can provide consulting services to businesses, particularly in sectors where new technologies are strategic for product and production process innovation. Physical and mathematical engineers are also fully qualified to serve in an intellectual property consulting role. They may also be employed by consulting firms, work in the field of education, or practice as independent professionals. To be admitted to the program, applicants must hold a high school diploma or an equivalent qualification obtained abroad that is recognized as valid under current regulations. Admission of international students to the program is governed by the relevant ministerial regulations. The general structure of the program is based on the methodological rigor characteristic of scientific disciplines, achieved through a combination of time dedicated to independent study and practical laboratory work. As in all university programs, theory lectures serve as the primary tool available to students for expanding their knowledge and understanding. These are supplemented by classroom exercises, laboratory activities, seminars, and a final exam. The program, characterized by a high number of credits dedicated to foundational subjects and the applied aspects of physics and mathematics, not only trains engineers with a solid scientific foundation and a broad perspective on the disciplines within the field of information engineering but also provides a solid foundation for further study at higher levels of education (master’s degrees and master’s programs).

The bachelor’s degree program in Physical and Mathematical Engineering aims to train engineers of innovation who are capable of formulating mathematical models for the simulation of physical and industrial processes, and of applying technologies based on modern physics (innovative materials, complex physical phenomena) to production activities in industrial sectors that utilize advanced technologies. Students will acquire a solid foundation in mathematics and physics, as well as cross-disciplinary engineering knowledge, with a particular focus on the disciplines of information engineering (electronics, telecommunications, electronic measurement, automation, and computer science). The program aims to train professionals capable of analyzing and proposing innovative solutions in various industrial sectors, as well as providing consultation during the implementation of advanced technologies. The cornerstone of the physical-mathematical engineer’s education is methodological rigor in problem-solving. 
Key aspects of the program include the acquisition of knowledge related to
- materials and physical phenomena used in new technologies,
- mathematical models—both analytical and numerical—to address complex problems with greater expertise and perform more accurate analyses.
The three-year bachelor’s degree program in Physical and Mathematical Engineering is designed for students who have a strong interest in physics and mathematics but are also drawn to applications and new technologies, and who wish to become innovation engineers, with the goal of applying the methodological rigor they have acquired and their knowledge of physics and mathematics to the technological challenges of the present and the future. 
The program spans three years and requires the completion of a total of 180 university academic credits (CFU), divided into foundational, core, related, supplementary, and elective courses.
The program places a strong emphasis on foundational courses, particularly in the first two years, with a heavy focus on physics and mathematics. The focus on core courses—which primarily concern information engineering—intensifies between the second and third years. Related and supplementary courses round out the program with both in-depth studies in physics and applied mathematics and engineering-related courses. During the third year, elective courses are also offered, and students prepare for the final examination required to earn the degree.

Student Guidance

Ongoing Student Guidance

Tutoring initiatives are organised at University level in accordance with the annual tutoring plan, which is drawn up each year by the University Tutoring Committee and approved by the Academic Senate. The Tutoring Service contributes to ongoing guidance with the aim of ensuring students progress smoothly through their studies and identifying the critical issues that contribute to drop-out rates. The administrative management of the student tutoring service is certified to the UNI EN ISO 9001:2015 standard and is provided as part of the services supporting the right to education by a dedicated organisational unit.

Tutoring

Characteristics of the Final Exam

The final exam consists of the preparation, presentation, and discussion—before a designated committee—of a report concerning:

- a project, analysis, or in-depth study assigned by a faculty member and carried out independently by the graduating student;

- or an internship or practicum.

In the first case, the work must involve an in-depth study of theoretical or applied aspects or a project; in the second case, it must be a technical report on the activities carried out and the results obtained at the organization (company, institution, or professional association) that hosted the student.

Procedures for the Final Examination

The final examination consists of the preparation, presentation, and defense before a designated committee—established in accordance with the University’s Academic Regulations—of a project completed independently. The final examination is governed by the “Regulations for the Conduct of the Final Examination and Final Evaluation for Degree Programs Affiliated with the DII,” to which readers are referred for detailed information.
