Presentation
The master’s degree programme in Management Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome aims to provide advanced knowledge and develop high-level skills that integrate the technological and design-oriented content typical of engineering disciplines with a thorough understanding of the economic and managerial aspects of decision-making issues within organisations. To this end, the programme explores in depth and critically examines the methods and models adopted as well as the analytical and intervention tools employed in the management of complex systems characterised by a high level of interaction between technological evolution, the structure of markets in which businesses operate, and the competitive strategies they adopt.
In particular, graduates in Management Engineering are able to play a key role in both strategic and operational decision-making within organisations, by virtue of their ability to effectively and efficiently apply methodologies drawn from economic analysis, management, operations research, and information technology to the identification and resolution of issues linked to the design, organisation, and management of production systems for goods and services.
Following the core courses, the programme offers the possibility of selecting one of several alternative tracks that flexibly combine the model-based and quantitative approach of management engineering and operations research with a variety of technological competences specific to different fields of information engineering.
In particular, the programme offers the following five curricula: ‘Organization and Management’ (international reference area: ‘Organization and Management’); ‘Industrial Systems Management’ (international reference area: ‘Smart Operations Management’); ‘Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology’ (international reference area: ‘Economics and Management of Innovation and Technology’); ‘Methods and Models for Decision Support’ (international reference area: ‘Optimization and Decision Science’); ‘Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Management’ (international reference area: ‘Data Analytics and Data Science’).
The first four curricula include a set of core courses taught in Italian and are complemented by specific elective modules, some delivered in Italian and others in English. The fifth curriculum, ‘Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics in Management’, is entirely delivered in English, including its core courses.
The way the programme is structured enables graduates in Management Engineering from Sapienza to pursue career opportunities both in companies operating at national and multinational level across different sectors of goods and services production (such as, for example: management consulting; energy; financial markets, banking and insurance; transport and logistics; information technology; electronics and telecommunications; mechanical engineering; marketing and retail distribution), as well as within public administration. Furthermore, graduates may pursue further academic study through second-level postgraduate Master’s courses or PhD programmes strictly related to the Master’s degree programme.
