    Sarà cura della commissione comunicare le modalità di connessione.

     

  • The admission exam has to achieve two main goals: 

1. to test the competence of the candidate in a number of areas of either Computer Science or Mathematics 

2. to evaluate the attitude and the potential of the candidate in carrying on research. 

The oral exam, which includes questions on topics that are part of the courses of the bachelor degree ("laurea triennale" in Italian) in either Computer Science or Mathematics, depending on the interest of the candidate. 

For the positions related to fellowships that might be offered by companies on a specific project, the candidate will be also asked questions on topics of the specific project.

 

 

 The topics of the questions (for graduates at Italian Universities as well as at foreign Universities) can be in the following areas of Mathematics: 

• Algebra 

• Geometry 

• Complementary Mathematics

• Mathematical Analysis 

• Probability and Mathematical Statistics 

• Mathematical Physics 

• Numerical Analysis 

 

as well as on the following areas of Computer Science:


• Theoretical computer science
• Computer architecture and operating systems
• Automata, formal languages and compilers
• Database systems
• Software engineering
• Artificial Intelligence
• Programming languages and paradigms
• Computer networks
• Human-Computer Interaction
