The master's degree program in Computer Science aims to provide advanced knowledge and professional skills suitable for carrying out research, design and coordination activities in the various application areas of computer science, with particular reference to the commercial, industrial and scientific sectors.
The graduate in Computer Science carries out design, development, control and management of complex IT systems. The fundamental target of her/his activity is the constant improvement of IT systems in qualitative and economic terms, and the ability to propose in the application area in which she/he works the ceaseless innovations and technical improvements that characterize the discipline.
The master degree course therefore aims to train professionals with high-level analytical and operational skills, but also having an open and critical view of the problems related with the adoption and use of Information Technology.
The Master in Computer Science ensures advanced graduates' training in the fundamental areas
that mainly characterize information technology: algorithms, languages, logical and formal methods, software development and design, information systems and data management, architectures and networks, intelligent systems, data analysis and optimization, signal and image processing, multimedia and social communication.
Researcher and specialist in basic computer science research. Functions: junior researcher associated with academic research groups, or laboratories of public and private bodies. Skills: in-depth awareness of the fundamentals of one's discipline and of the problems that characterize it with respect to the other sciences. Ability to elaborate and communicate original ideas in the field of basic computer science, in particular relating to the mathematical, logical and statistical foundations of computation, design and analysis of algorithms in abstract and, depending on the paths followed during the degree course, in different disciplinary areas. Opportunities: in public and private research institutions, as well as in high-tech companies that develop new methodologies and innovative systems. Continuation of the course of studies with third level training.
Application and system software analyst and designer. Functions: high responsibility roles in the public or private sector with respect to the coordination, management and control of medium-large computer systems projects. Autonomous professional activities. Skills: mastery of different programming paradigms and languages, of the analysis and specification of requirements in software engineering, in the synthesis of programs, in the verification of the absence of errors within programs, in the verification of correctness with respect to the specifications. Control of the use of resources in sequential, object-oriented, concurrent and distributed environments. Knowledge of the methodologies and architectures relevant to the different areas of traditional IT as well as to the sectors of multimedia publishing, graphics and unconventional interaction, mobile and pervasive computing, social computing, web analytics and digital marketing. Opportunities: in manufacturing companies in the areas of IT systems and networks, in high-tech companies that develop or use new innovative IT methodologies and systems, and in companies and public and private organizations which use complex IT systems to manage their data and processes.
System analyst. Functions: roles of high responsibility in the analysis and management of medium-large IT systems. Generally the perspectives are mainly in the technological field, but having particular management skills the graduate can attain high management roles even in different areas.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
E' condizione per l'ammissione che i candidati abbiano acquisito negli studi pregressi almeno:
· 48 crediti nei settori: INF/01 (Informatica);
· 12 crediti nei settori MAT/01-09.
Ai fini dell'accesso al corso, il collegio didattico si riserva di effettuare una attenta valutazione delle carriere degli studenti che presentino requisiti curriculari non perfettamente rispondenti a quelli indicati.
La verifica del possesso dei requisiti consisterà nella valutazione della carriera universitaria pregressa, effettuata sulla base dei seguenti titoli: certificazione di laurea con voto, elenco degli esami superati con voto e numero di crediti, programmi dei singoli insegnamenti ove non disponibili sul sito web dell'Università degli Studi di Milano.
Eventuali integrazioni curricolari in termini di crediti formativi universitari dovranno essere acquisite, prima della verifica di cui al punto precedente, con la frequenza e l'espletamento di esami di profitto di insegnamenti erogati nell'ambito delle lauree in Informatica, Informatica per la Comunicazione Digitale, Informatica Musicale, Sicurezza dei Sistemi e delle Reti Informatiche.
The education program can be enriched by educational activities abroad both to deepen some topics and as socialization experience in international environments. WIthin the Erasmus+ program study periods can be taken in over 50 universities in Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Lithuania, Norway, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Spain, Switzerland, Hungary. Courses will be recognized in the personalized study plan. These periods abroad are typically 5-month long and include courses for about 30 CFU, in the area of information and communication technology and related applications. Recognition of these educational activities will be based on the Learning Agreement, to be defined in advance by the student and the Erasmus coordinator at the Computer Science Department before starting the period abroad: course in the learning agreement with passed exams will replace the educational activities of the study plan ("manifesto"), either by covering the same topics or complementing the acquired basic competences. The Erasmus Committee at the Computer Science Department will perform the recognition of CFU obtained abroad and the definition of the personalized study plan. Similarly, stages to prepare the final dissertation are allowed in the same foreign universities. Recognition will be performed by the Department Erasmus Committee.
