The aim is to educate students not only in technologies but also, and above all, in the rigorous and formal reasoning required of anyone who must produce highly complex systems, such as computer applications and services.<br\/>The Degree Programme lasts three years, for a total of 180 credits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Computer Science studies the design of methods, procedures, and, more generally, solutions for the management and processing of information in the most diverse application<br\/>contexts, as well as their implementation in the form of<br\/>software systems. To this end, it requires both a significant ability to solve problems, even difficult and complex ones, and an adequate logical-mathematical sensibility to analyse the correctness and efficiency of the solutions identified, and, finally, technological skills to build the systems that implement them and make them effectively available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-32dbcb57aec7b0d1e35bb6f9a5f3d880\" style=\"color:#007d3c;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:3px\">SUBJECT AREA<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-78354bc1c9f98cef664a4588397815d8\" style=\"color:#007d3c;font-style:normal;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:3px\">PROFESSIONAL AREA<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Information organisation.
