MSc IN SAFETY ENGINEERING FORTRANSPORT, LOGISTICS, AND PRODUCTION

The Master of Science Programme (MSc) in Safety Engineering for Transport, Logistics and Production aims at providing students with a high level of advanced training, so as to enable them to operate in the areas of the most qualified activities related to safety in trans-port systems, logistics, and related production systems. The MSc aims at training a professional engineer with a thorough knowl-edge and understanding of the principles of systems engineering of transportation, logistics and production by acquiring the capabilities to conceive, plan, design, and manage complex innovative systems and processes, with particular attention to the safety-related as-pects. At the end of the course, engineers will be able to operate in the ter-ritorial, technological, and industrial environments – with particular reference to their sustainability and safety issues and standards. The course is designed to offer an in-depth theoretical and practical understanding of the most advanced Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and their applications.

WHAT THE MSC SAFETY ENGINEER FOR TRANS-PORT, LOGISTICS, AND PRODUCTION DOES

In the last years industrialization and globalization, as well as an increasing attention to the environmental issues, have brought to a higher demand of safe and sustainable transport, logistics, and production. In this framework, the MSc Safety Engineering for Transport, Logistics, and Production has been conceived to better cope with effective development and progress issues, taking into account the relevant global market dynamics by providing a course completely taught in English, where students are encouraged in achieving higher methodological, technical, and communication skills. The course is designed to be compliant with the worldwide sector needs, and to provide graduates the capabilities to work in indus-tries and entities at an international level.Beyond the necessary specific theoretical competences, the MSc also provides systemic and cross-cutting knowledge that allow graduates to easily deal with different systems and new technolo-gies, as well as practical skills in order to be ready to operate in the job market.

The students have the opportunity of making practice with software and tools currently used by industries and public and private institu-tions.

WHAT YOU WILL STUDY

Looking at the worldwide strategic field of safe and effective freight and people transport, the course consists of modules that provide the basic tools for risk analysis, transportation and logistics engi-neering. The Master of Science in Safety Engineering for Transport, Logis-tics and Production aims at providing students with a high and ad-vanced level of training, with particular reference to:• the risk assessment of local systems, and in particular the plan-

ning, the design and management of both safety (protection against accidental events) and security (protection against inten-tional events);

• the evaluation, in terms of cost/benefits of different design alter-natives, of risk mitigation systems and procedures in transport, logistics, and production systems;

• the planning and management of people and freight mobility through the knowledge of the fundamental elements of transport and logistic systems, as well as the criteria to define the physi-cal characteristics of isolated infrastructures or of a network of infrastructures, with particular reference to their functions and interdependencies;

• the design and safe management of transport, logistic, and pro-duction systems, with reference to either the systems as a whole, and to the relevant single components, such as infrastructures, facilities, vehicles, equipment;

• the development and use of advanced methods to manage and optimize the performance and safety of road, rail, air, and sea infrastructures and transport services, as well as their interac-tions in an intermodal framework. In doing so, particular attention is focused on the design and implementation of monitoring and controlling systems and policies via the most advanced technolo-gies;

• the analysis and the assessment of the external costs caused by transport and logistic systems, with explicit reference to the safe-ty and security aspects characterizing each phase of the mobility of people and freights, both within the production plants, and in their interaction with the surrounding environment.

Students from different Countries will study in a comfortable and

friendly environment, receiving support and help for any particular needs or problem from Professors and Ph.D. students.Laboratories, computers and study rooms are available for stu-dents’ activities. The cooperation between students is encouraged in order to train engineers able to work in team and to interact with different people.

JOB OPPORTUNITIES

The MSc main job opportunities are in the employment in:•engineering companies and/or large professional firms operat-

ing in the field of design, implementation, risk management with reference of the transport and logistic systems;

•public and private institutions that handle large lines infrastruc-ture (railways , highways, ...);

•government (municipalities, regions, port authorities, ...);• research structures (universities, research centers, ...);• freelance.

According to the last available data (May 2016), the 100% of grad-uated students is satisfied by the MSc and has found a suitable job within few months after the graduation.The MSc gives to the students the opportunity of meeting the main local industrial realities, offering them the possibility of getting in-volved in seminaries and internships.Moreover, the students will get in contact with the main European research structures and will be updated about the new European research and innovation trends and advanced topics in the trans-portation, logistic and production engineering sectors.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

In response to this growing demand of expertise the University of Genoa MSc in Safety Engineering for Transport. Logistics, and Production (120 ECTS) has been conceived for engineers or tech-nological science students. A minimum of either BSc or a higher degree in any branch of engineering (civil, industrial, information) or an equivalent degree is required. Different BSc are to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
