The Master of Science in Management Engineering gives the students the competences to design, plan and manage systems and processes with a high degree of complexity and innovation. Graduates in Management Engineering are able to assume multiple roles within a manufacturing industry, a consulting firm or service enterprise: from the management and development of products, to the supply chain manager, the direction of an establishment and the person in charge of production planning.
Key Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the Programme will be able to demonstrate:
- deep knowledge of computing tools for management of services and processes
- deep knowledge of statistical and operational research methods, in order to analyze data and make decisions
- competences in integrated manufacturing systems, with special focus to programming capabilities, dimensioning and balancing of production lines
- deep knowledge in production planning and control
- ability in management of innovation
- ability in supply chain management and e-commerce
- ability in corporate finance and marketing
- knowledge of methods for the assessment and improvement of an organization
Occupational Profile/s of Graduates

Assessment methods, examination regulations, and grading
Assessment is normally by means of an oral or written examination; in some cases there are intermediate exams during the course; other elements (participation in discussion, written or oral reports, commentary of texts etc. ) are foreseen in specific course units and are described in the Course Unit Profiles.
The grading system for the course units consists of 30 possible points, plus 'lode' (cum laude) in case of excellence. Marks are given by the lecturer based on the performance as ascertained in a public examination by a board of at least two teachers. The main exam sessions are held in June/July; September; and January; students may resit exams**.
Actual grading curves differ in different degree programmes. The University of Pisa provides an ECTS Grading Table, which shows the actual distribution, of the examination and final grades among students for each degree programme, in order to facilitate the comparison with other grading systems. ---> Link to ECTS Grading Table
An overall mark is given on the occasion of the 'Final Exam', when a written research text is presented and discussed. The final overall mark is calculated based on the results of the marks obtained in the single course units and the final exam, and is based on 110 possible points, with the possible further mention of honours ("lode" or cum laude).
**The exam sessions are organised into sessions (the dates vary according to the Department and are published in the Department's academic calendar). In each session there are a certain number of 'appelli' [calls], or dates on which the examination for each course unit may be taken. The 'appelli' are fixed by the teacher. The students choose which of the appelli they wish to respond to. In most cases, it is obligatory to sign up before the specified date.
Requirements (regulations) to obtain the qualification
The candidates have to complete 120 credits, according to the programme of the course. These include the final exam (21 credits) which assesses the ability of the the candidate to develop, in complete autonomy, a specific topic proposed by teachers and ta
