Profile of the programme

The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering aims to provide students with advanced training for the exercise of highly qualified activities in the disciplinary areas of industrial engineering. More specifically, the Degree Course is dedicated to the training of professional figures of highly cultural and professional engineers qualified to set up, carry out and manage even complex design activities and to promote and develop innovation. From the 2017/2018 academic year, the Master of Science in Industrial Engineering has expanded its educational offer with a new curriculum in Circular Design for Sustainability. The project was born on the initiative of the University of Perugia with the support of Confindustria Umbria in order to respond to the needs of the productive world.

Programme learning outcomes

The main learning outcomes are those relating to a solid preparation in the basic disciplines and in the more specific ones of mechanical engineering through a training course that deepens not only the methodological-operational aspects but also the theoretical-applicative ones.

Qualification requirements and regulations

Admission to the final test for the achievement of the qualification will require that the student has acquired all the credits foreseen in the study plan for training activities other than the final test. The final test for the achievement of the qualification is public and consists of the presentation of a thesis work to a special commission. Two type of thesis are possible: 1) experimental thesis: study, realization, experimental validation of original solutions for real cases, 2) survey thesis: survey of idea and results on a specific topic based on several bibliographic sources.

Examination regulations and grading scale

Assessment is normally an oral and/or written exam; in some cases there are intermediate exams during the course; other evaluation elements (reports, project work, etc.) can be foreseen in specific course units and are described in the Course Unit Profiles. The grades for subject exams are measured in thirtieths (0-30 scale), the minimum grade is 18/30 and the maximum grade is 30/30. The maximum grade can be enhanced with “cum laude” (30 cum laude), in case of excellence. Grades are given by an exam commission of at least two teachers, whose President is the chair of the subject. The main exam sessions are held in December/January/February, June/July, September.

Obligatory or optional mobility windows

Flexible mobility windows, according to the needs of each student.

Work-based learning

Students enrolled in the master programme in Industrial Engineering may choose to take an internship, as part of the personal study plan, under the so called free-choice, up to 4 ECTS. The internship can take place within one of the several enterprises with an accreditation plan with the Engineering department, or by participating in one of the project and research activities offered the department laboratories. The student will be assigned to a tutor from the hosting institution, which is responsible for the fulfilment of the internship goal. The internship goal is to allow each student to be involved into real-life problems and situations, in order to exploit all the knowledge and competencies acquired during the master program. At the end of the activity an evaluation form will be filled by the tutor, and another one by the student, with the purpose of evaluating the main aspects of the learning activity.

Occupational profiles of graduates

Placement opportunities comprise small, medium and large enterprises, engineering and consultant enterprises, research centres and universities, certification offices, as well as a freelance engineer.Typical positions include design and validation of advanced innovative equipment, project leader, and team coordination. In addition, other opportunities are given by the participation to PhD programmes and second level master programmes.
