The Master degree programme in Management and Industrial Systems Engineering aims to train engineers with the necessary skills to effectively design and manage the processes that characterize the modern production paradigms, with particular attention to the completeness of the technical background as a fundamental condition to allow these practitioners to interact with the different business units and functions.
The Master degree programme aims to train engineers with a holistic and integrated vision of industrial problems rather than an approach focused on single aspects or specific technologies. Master graduates in Industrial Systems and Management Engineering are distinguished by the ability to:

• apply tools and methodologies for the design and management of complex industrial systems;
• apply modern quantitative techniques to support decision-making processes;
• manage the main digital technologies at the basis of the new industrial revolution;
• apply methodologies for the promotion and management of innovation;
• evaluate the environmental sustainability of industrial products and processes.

The Master programme is characterized by courses of marked originality and innovativeness. Their contents are aligned with the most recent developments in academic and industrial research that are revolutionizing modern industrial systems: from product customization to processes environmental sustainability, from digitalization of industrial plants to quality and safety of production systems.
A first year of shared courses aims to provide students with a solid foundation in the disciplines characterizing engineering management and industrial systems. On this basis, students can differentiate their programme in the second year thanks to the offer of two curriculums, called 'Design and sustainability' and 'Management and digitalization':

1. The curriculum "Design and sustainability" is characterized by the in-depth study of engineering methodologies for the design of complex industrial systems and of innovative industrial products with a particular focus on the selection of materials. It considers the entire life cycle of products and their environmental impact, in terms of both greenhouse gases emissions and consumption of primary resources.
2. The curriculum "Management and digitalization" is aimed at training engineers oriented to the management of complex production processes, characterized by a strong adoption of digital technologies which are the basis of the current industrial revolution. This curriculum is characterized by in-depth contents in the field of business information systems, modern Internet of Things technologies for industrial applications and advanced mathematical methodologies for the optimization of complex systems.

For the admission to the Master degree programme the students must have the minimum requirements typically acquired during bachelor degrees in engineering, in particular industrial engineering. Solid competences in basic subjects (mathematics, physics and chemistry) and knowledge of fundamentals of subjects characterizing management engineering are required.
The official language of the course is English.
