The career-oriented degree course in 'Constructions, Infrastructures and Territorial Management' (CIT) trains young professionals with expertise in the civil, construction, infrastructure and territorial sectors.
The course provides advanced technical application skills that meet the needs of operators in the construction and land management sectors.
The degree programme includes a basic training, with ample space devoted to laboratory activities and a 9-month internship to be carried out in a company in the 3rd year.

The degree course is characterised as a generalist degree course in the field of architecture, capable of providing a broad theoretical basis, but oriented towards sustainability and the regeneration of heritage and the local area. The training programme is designed to produce graduates who meet the criteria required by the most developed sectors of the construction and building restoration world and by the public spheres for building control, conservation of protected existing buildings and city management.

The civil and environmental engineer plays a key role in contemporary society by dealing with various issues that affect everyday life. These include the design, construction, surveying and maintenance of structural works of buildings and infrastructure; the management of water resources; the management and mitigation of natural and man-made hazards; and the analysis of interactions between the ground and works. The degree course aims to train entry-level technical professionals who are able to contribute to the design and construction process of civil and environmental engineering works.

The degree course in 'Computer Technologies Engineering' trains computer engineers with strong basic and engineering skills. The course contains innovative course units on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity topics, alongside more traditional, highly educational courses. A curriculum tailored to the expectations of companies, which demand graduates with skills typical of software engineers and in much greater numbers than are actually available.

The degree course in 'Computer, Electronic and Communications Engineering', LIIET, represents the evolution of a consolidated 20-year tradition at the University of Parma. Starting from A.Y. 2021/22, the LIIET was organised to provide, particularly in the first two years of the course, transversal skills which are then completed in the third year, based on the student's choice of one of eight specialised curricula in the key sectors of Information Technology Engineering.

50% engineer, 50% manager. Or rather: 100% engineer and 100% manager. These are the characteristics of the graduates of this degree course, which is dedicated to studying and enhancing the increasingly strong links between technological and economic-organisational variables in the corporate world. The course is divided into three curricula for even more specific training focused on the vocation of the students, and its graduates are among the most sought-after professionals by companies.

The course provides a broad and transversal basic preparation and, thanks to the strong link with the numerous industries in the Parma area, offers excellent employment opportunities in the food, pharmaceutical, logistics, plant engineering, energy and other sectors. Furthermore, it must be emphasised that, in the national context too, the demand for mechanical engineers is extremely high.

The course catalogue is further enhanced by the possibility of study periods abroad and contact with the world of work through curricular internships.

Emphasise the potential and currently marginally expressed link between design culture and the food system, with a look at scenarios of consumption, management, production and systemic circularity. You will become a designer! You will be able to face the needs of the production world, with a solid design method, an ability to make choices based on environmental, social and economic sustainability, and with a wealth of technical-scientific tools to support your projects.

The second-cycle degree course in Advanced Automotive Engineering is an international inter-university course with its administrative hub at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia.

- lecturers are chosen amongst university professors and Italian and foreign professional experts, to guarantee the highest quality of teaching; they are selected by an inter-university Coordination Committee, open for participation to the partner companies.
- students are admitted to the degree course following an accurate assessment of their merits and a technical and motivational interview, then are assigned to one of the six curricula that make up the course, based on their ranking and declared interests.
- a joint first semester for all students, held at the "Enzo Ferrari" Department of Engineering of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, aimed at providing basic skills.
- six curricula (max. 25 places each): Advanced Powertrain- Modena (Modena hub) Advanced Powertrain - Bologna (Bologna hub from the second semester) High Performance Car Design (Modena hub), Racing Car Design (Parma hub from the second year), Advanced Motorcycle Engineering (Bologna hub) Advanced Sportscar Manufacturing (Bologna hub).
- the courses are taught entirely in English and include both a theoretical and a laboratory part, held at the universities and at industrial partners’ laboratories, to develop high-level professional skills according to a "Learning by Doing" logic.
- mandatory internships and activities aimed at writing the dissertation in 'Project Working' mode, taking place within the most important firms in the automotive sector and at universities’ research laboratories

The two-year course has a strong design focus on environmental, social and economic sustainability in the disciplines of architectural design, urban, spatial and landscape planning and architectural restoration. To emphasise its vocation for internationality, the course has promoted several educational and scientific cooperation agreements with foreign universities and is also fully offered in English.

The Second-Cycle Degree Course in Civil Engineering enables the acquisition of professional knowledge and skills relating to the design, realisation, management and control of civil works. The course is divided into curricula that specialise in the fields of construction, hydraulics, transport infrastructure and structures. Employment prospects lie mainly in freelance work, engineering companies, construction companies, companies and public bodies with responsibility for design, planning and control of urban and territorial systems.

The Master of Science in Communication Engineering (MSCE) is a two-year course in Telecommunications, offered in English, within the broad field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). It provides a sound knowledge and methodology in the ICT area, whose impressive technological innovations are likely to continue for many years to come. The MSCE is designed for candidates from different academic backgrounds within the ICT area. The main goal is to provide a solid background and advanced insights into statistical signal processing for communications and networking.

The degree course in Computer Engineering, with curricula in Artificial Intelligence, Automation, and Information Technologies and Systems, guarantees a level of qualification and preparation that is appreciated by companies.
