U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

Research areas refer to disciplinary competences developed in the three broad fields of Management, Applied Economics and Industrial Engineering. A concern common to most of the research fields is to propose business models, industrial solutions, strategies, technologies and policies to foster sustainable development of companies, industrial systems and societies by overcoming performance trade-offs among the three pillars of environment, society, and economy All research lines share the emphasis on innovation, entrepreneurship and advanced use of technology.

The chemical engineer training is accomplished through a solid preparation in basic subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry), the study of traditional engineering disciplines (electrical and mechanical engineering, building science) and in the deepening of chemical engineering subjects (principles of chemical engineering, unit operations of chemical plants, industrial chemistry, chemical thermodynamics, etc.). The result is an extremely flexible, professional cross-marked profile characterized by a strong knowledge in scientific subjects and application technology.

Several areas are identified, among which students can choose their field of specialization: Geotechnics, Hydraulics, Transportation infrastructures, Structures. Additionally, a General curriculum is also proposed, addressed to students preferring a wider spectrum formation in Civil Engineering with an adequate preparation in the field of structural design, completed by courses devoted to other issues, such as project management, environmental impact assessment, surveying and planning of the land and its infrastructures.

The Bachelor course in Civil and Environmental Engineering aims to train engineers with a strong interdisciplinary preparation, combining subjects concerning the analysis and control of environmental systems with a more strictly civil engineering-style preparation involving the design and execution of structures and buildings, for general society-related needs and for land conservation and environmental protection purposes. In essence, the programme aims to develop engineers who can design buildings in line with sustainable land and environmental development.

The MSc course focuses on traditional Civil Engineering subjects combined with a systematic approach to risk assessment and management. Attention to building design and analysis and to structural safety, is flanked primarily by issues related to uncertainty analysis, with particular reference to the hazards linked with environmental phenomena. ICT are considered essential tools supporting risk management, and in particular emergency management. Legal and socio-economic aspects are supplemented with a more strictly technical and scientific perspective.

The Bachelor course in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering provides adequate training in the analysis and resolution of issues that require the application of standard and consolidated tools, such as to address the issues that most frequently affect professional practice in the field. The programme develops a series of basic tools common to the various work areas in which environmental engineers are involved, as well as providing an understanding of soil conservation, prevention of natural risks, planning and management, environmental remediation technologies.

The Master of Science course offers a high-profile curriculum both in terms of the acquisition of theoretical (mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, planning and management) and specialist tools (including a wide spectrum of notions applied to a variety of engineering fields). The programme, therefore, provides across-the-board training, integrating different areas of knowledge, so as to teach engineers how to address and resolve the macro-industry issues typical of Environmental and Land Planning Engineering projects.

Computer Science has become a dominant factor in culture and in the organization of modern enterprises and social activities, fostering their transformation and innovation. In this scenario, the goal of the Study Programme is to train engineers and equip them with an extensive cultural preparation, enabling them to develop and use computer methods and tools with an engineering-oriented perception, and to face problems that are common within an extremely wide spectrum of applications.

The Study Programme focuses strongly on what can be considered the basics, pushing students, during the first three terms, to acquire the essential scientific skills needed for engineering studies (physics and more mathematics, such as analysis, geometry, algebra, mathematical logic, statistics and probability theory). The computer skills that are taught are practical, yet focused on a foundational level; they are also accompanied by basic skills in other branches of Information Engineering such as Automation Science, Telecommunications and Electronics.

The Master course in Computer Science and Engineering pursues the twofold goal of a strong professional qualification and a deep cultural base, both required in order to have a critical and active role in the evolution of information technology and its numerous applications. The programme aims to mold experts that are both able to understand the technological evolution of the field and to contribute to it. The programme does not include formally defined tracks; students can build their own personal curriculum, freely choosing amongst the numerous courses that are available.

The main objective of the Mathematical Engineering Program is to prepare professionals to be able to analyze complex systems where a strong interdisciplinary knowledge is required, through the acquisition of an engineer’s mentality and of methodologies provided by various sectors of applied mathematics. The distinction between BSc and MSc graduates relies on the acquisition of "an adequate mastership of methods and scientific general contents" (B. Sc.) and of "an advanced education level to be employed in professional activities of a highly qualified level in specific contexts" (M. Sc.).

The project led to a well defined and robust university curriculum which realizes a synergy between advanced mathematical methods and engineering mentality, capable to face complex problems from applied sciences and technology, through the construction and the analysis of mathematical models. Mathematical engineers acquire a solid understanding of the problems by means of a number of courses ranging from physics to chemistry, to economics, to computer science. On the other hand, a number of courses on the basic principles of engineering provide the students with a technological insight.

The Mathematical Engineering Program was inspired by an innovative professional profile, transversal in many ways to the other engineering courses and quite different from the Mathematics and the Applied Mathematics programs. A mathematical engineer must know how to use the methodologies at his/her disposal choosing a level of depth and rigor adapted to the significance and difficulty of the problem to be solved. Having an engineer’s “forma mentis” constitutes a fundamental element of the program.
