The University of Palermo organizes the "Master's Degree Welcome Day", an orientation day dedicated to the presentation of the Master's Degree Course Offer for the Academic Year 2024-2025.

The initiative, aimed at graduates and undergraduates of the Degree Courses of Unipa and other universities, will be held on Tuesday 7 May, from 9.00 am (as scheduled), in Building 19 of the University Campus in Viale delle Scienze, with the support of the COT-University Orientation and Tutoring Centre.

These are the new features that will be presented during the event:

the strengthening of Master's degree courses delivered mainly or entirely online;
greater attention to internationalisation, through the strengthening of Double Degree (DT) programmes, courses and curricula offered, entirely or for at least one semester, in English;
the increase in funds dedicated to internships in national and international companies, bodies, institutions and associations, in order to offer UniPa master's students the opportunity to collaborate with important national and international business entities.
During the day it will be possible to take part in conferences, interviews with teachers, meetings with consultants and participate in an orientation moment, carried out by the professional staff of the Orientation and Tutoring Centre. The objective is to provide support to face the choice of the master's degree course to undertake with greater awareness.

For the training of these figures, the course proposes: 

• advanced skills in the field of electronics, namely the design of programmable electronic systems, electronic circuits for radiofrequency applications, instrumentation and measurements, digital processing and transmission systems;  
• skills in reference technologies for modern telecommunication systems (from optical fibers to 5G/6G networks) and the new communication bands (from microwaves to Tera-Hertz);  
• skills in the complete definition of systems and network services, with particular attention to protocols and security for IoT systems.
