Telecommunications (from the Greek prefix tele- (τηλε-) = "far", and the Latin verb communico, which comes from Latin words cum = "with" and munus = "gift") include all activities related to the transmission and processing of information over distances with the purpose of communication.

Telecommunications are pervasive, with applications to all sectors of modern society (health, environment, energy production, etc) and everyday objects (cars, buildings, civil infrastructures, offices, etc). The Telecommunications Engineer should have a solid background on electrical circuits, computer science and math, deep knowledge of all disciplines of telecommunications, an attitude towards both analytical and design methodologies.

Alma Mater Studiorum - Università di Bologna is the oldest University in the western world, one of the most prestigious Universities in Europe (it ranks among the best 200 Universities in the world according to Times Higher Education - Top 200 World Universities 2009, and the best in Italy), and has strong traditions in telecommunications: Guglielmo Marconi, the inventor of radio communications, was born and operated at the end of the XIXth century in Bologna.

Bologna is one of the richest cities in Italy, located at the crossing-point of the most important highways and railways in the country, with direct flight connections to the rest of Europe: one hour by train from Venice, Florence, Milan; less than two hours by airplane from Paris, London, Vienna, Madrid, Amsterdam, Athens and other European cities. Bologna is also known as one of the nicest places to live in Italy - ask the 100,000 University students!
