ICT for Internet and Multimedia

I am passionate about science since I was young: I would create small ‘robotic’ prototypes with Arduino, trying to find a logical reasoning behind every result I would get. In my teen years, as many other teenagers, I would play a lot of PC games: I remember admiring the work of the creators, and perceiving them as heroes. Game developers bring joy to people, and I wanted to do the same when growing up.

I decided to study in Padua because I wanted to do my master degree abroad, and while doing my research, I read the best opinions about University and the city. I say with great pride that Galileo Galilei has been a professor here. That ‘sealed the deal’ for me, and I applied without any hesitancy.

I chose the Cybersystems curriculum, specifically the Digital Arts path, which gave me the opportunity to improve my mathematics and physics knowledge, as well as my coding and 3D modelling skills. There is no limit in what you can learn, because the study plan is flexible, and you can personalize it: we all are different students, with different future aspirations, therefore, our course interests differ. I am not forced to study courses that are less relevant to my desires. That has made my journey here even smoother.

Professors treat us as colleagues, cooperating with us, and giving us constant advice. I would highly suggest University of Padova, especially if you are looking for a diverse student life, with a perfect balance of studying and entertainment.

I was surprised for good, how student-friendly the Italian environment is. Student life in Padua is very diverse. There are a lot of events, some of them organized by university, and some others by the students themselves. Wednesday night is the night when almost every student goes out. I usually go to Portello, which is near my department. Sometimes we take a guitar and start singing and dancing. And sometimes, other students join, creating a really warm atmosphere. I also enjoy going to Venice, it is only 30 minutes away by train, therefore it is the perfect destination for the weekend.

Rule number 1 in Italy: Never say to an Italian that Carbonara is made of panna, because you will become their enemy. I learned it the hard way.

Hello, this is Lennin Cardozo I am from Peru, country that is well-known for its Macchu Pichu wonder. I studied my bachelor in Electronics engineering in Peru and now I am studying my Master's degree in ICT for Internet and Multimedia, in the Cybersystems study track.

Since I was a kid, I have been in love for technology, I remembered that I used to disassemble toys to see what was happening and how they worked... I must admit it was a problem because I could not assemble them back again, so I was a kid without toys and neither friends! My passion for IT has not changed till now, I love technology specially topics regarding cybersecurity and AI, for this reason I choose the master in ICT in UNIPD, because it has an unique excellent combination of those topics.

Furthermore, the support that I received from the university made me feel sure about my choice: I was supported from an Buddy tutor selected for UNIPD that helped a lot during my settling in Italy, and this pushed me during my second year to become a Buddy tutor myself as I aimed to help new arrivals of international students. Also there are many opportunities regarding scholarships and economic support in the university, the region and the country.

UNIPD has further helped a lot during the process of looking for an internship through organizing job fairs and managing the procedures needed for the region.

I totally recommend the experience of studying and living in Padua, this has allowed me to grow a lot and open my horizons, the great things I will take from studying here are knowledges, worldwide friends and the experience of the Italian dolce vita.
