OBJECTIVES
This degree program provides the opportunity to acquire solid skills in software engineering, distributed systems architecture, and designing scalable cloud infrastructures.
This degree offers excellent career opportunities, thanks to the development of practical skills through real-world projects using leading cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud.
Designing secure and resilient cloud solutions, meeting global business needs for scalability and reliability, is (and will continue to be) a top priority for organizations across all sectors.
Enhancing Courses are a series of extra-curricular courses that integrate the knowledge provided by their academic pathway with practical skills of broad application.
Students will learn to understand their skill profile, cultivate a personal learning agenda, and develop a set of knowledge and abilities useful for understanding the needs of businesses.
We believe that the same skills and abilities that are essential for starting a startup, such as leadership, problem-solving, resilience, strategy, risk-taking, and continuous learning, are valuable in any career path.
Through a combination of theoretical and practical learning, students gain insights, methodology, and tools that can help them succeed as entrepreneurs and in any other profession.
Our study programs are ideal for those seeking to develop a versatile and comprehensive skill set.
Our faculty consists of experienced instructors with international experience, including academics, managers, startup founders, and consultants. Our partners are leading entities in their respective fields, and our alumni are innovators in their workplaces.
To provide our students with the best opportunities to interact with this community, we have created a unique 360-degree learning experience, where learning occurs through continuous dialogue and the exchange of knowledge and experiences with guest speakers and notable personalities, through group projects, case studies, challenges, hackathons, events, networking moments, and inspirational talks.
Final Experiential Term. For the development of students’ knowledge and skills.
During the second semester of the third year, all students will have the opportunity to apply the skills learned during their course of study by choosing one of the following options:
An internship in a company or organization, in Italy or abroad, accompanied by an intensive week of lectures on research and analysis methods in the business field.
An opportunity to work closely with H-FARM consultants and develop one’s own startup project.
An individual study and research work accompanied by an intensive week of lectures on research and analysis methods in the business field.
There are numerous “JOB ON CAMPUS” opportunities available, providing students with a chance to get involved, develop useful skills, and earn some income during their university years.
For instance, students can apply for positions within LUMINA, an agency structured like a real consulting firm, where professionals and faculty from H-FARM College serve as mentors.
Another opportunity is to join the FARMEDIA team, a media agency that engages in activities typical of the digital communication industry.
