The first year is mostly composed by teaching in the areas of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Sciences, as for any Engineer enrolled for the first year at Politecnico di Torino.
The “Elective course” at the first year and the one at the third year can be replaced by the Stage (Tirocinio) of 12 credits at the third year of the program syllabus.
Students interested in the “Stage” (Tirocinio) must not insert in their educational path the “Elective course” at the first year.

During the second year, the students starts to study the basic foundations of Information and Communication Technologies, thanks to a solid preparation in the fields of electronic, automatic control, computer science, besides some important complements in Mathematics and Physics.

The third year is totally focused on Telecommunication topics (signal theory and processing, digital transmission, Telecommunication networking). For all these topics, the students starts by learning the basic theoretical foundations, then go through an overview of application technologies. The student will participate to some practical laboratory activities on signal processing, digital transmission and networking.
The “Final project” consists in writing a technical-scientific text including topics of the course Digital trasmission.
During the third year each student can follow a stage.
Students, which do not have in their educational path the “Elective courses” of the first and at the third year, can make this choice by inserting in their educational path the “Stage” of 12 credits.
Students, which have in their educational path the “Elective course” of the first year, can make this choice by inserting in their educational path the “Stage” of 10 credits (of which 6 within the mandatory 120 credits and 4 beyond this limit).
Teaching activities delivered by Collegio Universitario di Torino Renato Einaudi, can be inserted in the educational path by presenting a proper claim to the admission office.

3° year choice
Each student must insert in his/her educational path the “Elective course” at the third year or the “Stage”. From 21/1/2013 to 31/1/2013 it will be possible to make three choices for the “Elective course” of the third year at the self-service boxes.
The College of courses of study will satisfy preferences depending on the maximum available students for each class. In case of overbooking, the College of courses of study will define the student ranking/priority for each course by applying the same rules adopted by the admission office (Servizio Gestione Didattica) for student grants.
