The typical professional ambits for graduates are: public and private companies, not only in the ICT sector, but also in the manufacturing, service and technical-commercial sectors.
The professional profile enables graduates to operate autonomously in the fields of design, engineering, production, operation and maintenance of telecommunication systems, as well as in other fields related to Information Engineering.
The foremost professional opportunities for graduates in Telecommunications Engineering are:
- Companies designing, producing and operating equipment, systems and infrastructure for acquiring, processing and transport of information (data, voice and images) on fixed and mobile networks, for observation and remote surveillance, for the performance monitoring of telecommunication networks and, in particular, of the quality of service;
- Public health authorities for the management of biomedical equipment and the design, implementation and management of innovative services for healthcare;
- Manufacturing companies operating in the fields of telematics and multimedia network, such as e- commerce and electronic publishing, Internet services, telemedicine and remote monitoring,
- Public and private companies that provide terrestrial or space telecommunications services;
- Public and private companies providing services for the aggregation and distribution of mono and multi-media content, including custom ones, for information and entertainment;
- Companies that provide computer services;
- Regulatory bodies and public control bodies with responsibilities, for example, in market regulation air, land and naval traffic control;
- Public agencies involved in monitoring and environmental protection;
- Public and private companies in different sectors, who need skills for the development and use of telecommunications systems and services in the areas of internal organization, production and marketing, as professionals in the fields of analysis, design and management systems for telecommunications, healthcare, telecommunications security;
- Companies specially created for the realization of wireless networks to bridge the 'Digital Divide'.
The natural professional future of the 2nd cycle graduate in telecommunications engineering is within companies that design and/or produce telecommunications systems and equipment, network operators managing complex telecommunications systems, public and private companies and institutions providing telecommunications, remote sensing and traffic control. This approach corresponds to the objective to provide the graduate with the greatest employment prospects both in the country and the EU.
It is worth pointing out that the educational programme as well as the individual training modules are designed to provide adequate and updated content in the different sectors involved in Engineering of Telecommunications: Broadband communication systems, advanced modulation techniques, signal processing, networking and internetworking technologies, systems management.
The educational programme provides, finally, the tools and skills to carry out professional activities of technical support and management of network structures in all sectors (eg, airports, institutions for the air traffic control, banking or insurance groups, distribution companies, public administration) whose productivity is now strongly linked to the capacity and efficiency of telecommunications networks.
