My study program is very intense and diverse. After three years of bachelor’s, you will have complete knowledge of all the theoretical bases that concern all the aerospace engineering branches: systems, structures, and fluid dynamics. As I said, the theoretical aspect of engineering is taught in a detailed and in-depth manner, so I would recommend this path for those who want to direct their career towards research. On the other hand, the practical aspect of the subject is almost completely absent from the study program as there are no experiences in the laboratory or projects. The student life basically, is courses and exams, as from September to December and from March to June there are courses, while from January to March and from June to July there is the exam session. As for the international aspect, Federico II offers Erasmus programs for thesis and exams. In general, it offers good preparation but is too theoretical, personally, I would prefer to have also the application part of the engineering field because, in my opinion, this part can improve a lot your skills.
View moreWhat I like about my program is the fact that many different aspects of aerospace engineering are explored and examined. I feel as though I’m lucky to be a part of this program: in most cases, such as mine, young students start out not knowing much of anything about engineering or the industry, but the rich aeronautical and space culture of the city of Naples is tangible. My professors are extremely competent and have such a deep understanding of their field of expertise. Some professors may not be exceptional when it comes to teaching students fresh out of high school, but most of them are very comprehensive. In this case the saying “it’s not rocket science!” doesn’t apply very well…
Even though Napoli is a beautiful city when it comes to the university the campus is basically non-existent. Student life is poor and for the most part, you’re left to your own devices when it comes to “integrating” into the uni lifestyle. Facilities and laboratories, so far in my bachelor’s degree, have almost never been visited. There are amazing historical libraries across town (since our university is distributed almost across the entire city), but, again, it is up to the individual to actually find out about these hidden gems. If I could change anything about this University it would be improving the facilities and actually inform students of all the amazing resources that are at their fingertips.
It may not be the most international university out there (considering that it’s one of the biggest in the country and compared with other important universities in Italy), but nonetheless, there are always Erasmus programs active and many foreign language courses made available to everyone.
When it comes to my personal career prospects I’m happy to say that I have no particular worries: the quality of my program is among the highest available in Europe and the name alone of the “Federico II” holds a lot of prestige. But, again, it lacks in communication and connecting the students with the world around them; for this, I am grateful for student associations such as EUROAVIA Napoli who make up on this front.
I always speak highly of my university to others, because the pros outweigh the cons by a lot.
The programs are aligned with the international requests for my job. I’ve never had serious problems while I was preparing for an exam or with a professor. Courses are well organized to offer both practical and theoretical skills. The only negative side is that I feel the lack of a university canteen in my structure, it is situated only in the other structure of my faculty (at the opposite side of the city)
View moreFederico II is a great university located in Naples, one of the most prestigious in Italy, with a lot of courses and faculties. I am an engineering student and about it, I can tell that UniNA is a very good choice. There are professors who really like what they teach and whose lessons are entertaining and interesting, being very competent in their field. Of course, there are also teachers who don’t care if you like the subject, they just explain their study program. Federico II has many pros and benefits, furthermore, the environment is welcoming. One thing I don’t like in my field of study is that everything is too theoretical. About the international program, UniNA takes part in the Erasmus program, with the collaboration of many universities, where students can go abroad with a scholarship and foreign students can come here: There are a lot of themes for every faculty. In addition, there are many student’s associations to which everyone can subscribe and share different experiences. I really recommend Federico II to those who want to study in Italy.

The university has great potential thanks to the expertise of its faculty as engineers, but not always good professors. In general, our university focused its program on the theoretical aspects, so the students aren’t prepared for the practical environment. It may be helpful for the versatility of future engineers, but at least, as a student, I don’t feel prepared for the future if I don’t participate in extra-curricular activities. So, in my opinion, the school should work on it. Anyway, the students have a great preparation on the fundamental of all aerospace theoretical aspects, and having a good theoretical foundation, they have no problem adjusting to any professional situation.
Regarding the internationality, we have a good ERASMUS program and we have great masters in English, but the promotion of Napoli is not good and the university itself doesn’t do anything about it.
In the end, I grew a lot during my formation in this university and I don’t have regrets regarding my choice. I highly suggest Aerospace Engineering in the university Federico II!
The programme Is very good. Professors are mostly nice. Some of them are a bit conceited. They offer good materials to study. In my personal study course, there are too many exams in only 3 years. The structure Is good however wifi doesn’t work very good.
View moreI am a student of aerospace engineering at the University of Napoli “Federico II”, I am currently in my third year and I miss some exams to the graduation. What I can say about this university is that I saw many changes during those three years.
Regarding the programme, I believe is very complete on the theory side, but it is missing a bit on the practical side. If it was not for a local association of students present in the university I would never have the chance to know how a company works or in general how the is the work field after the studies.
For the location, the lectures of the first year are usually done in the buildings in Via Claudio and Piazzale Tecchio, they are very near to each other and easy to reach with the transportations. The second and the third year is mainly in the buildings of Agnano, also easily reachable with transportation.
Lastly, I would like to add a comment regarding the professors. I feel in those three years I had very good professors, both on the professional and personal side. As much as I also had not so good professors when we talk about approaching students.
View moreI am a student of aerospace engineering and I am in my third year at this university. What I noticed is that, at least for aerospace engineering, there are some professors that are extremely qualified as engineers and not only, they also have a passion for the subject and they transmit it to the students, but there are also some professors that don’t make your life easy here, even if you study how they want.
Regarding the knowledge given from this bachelor I can say that I feel very prepared when it is about theory, but less prepared if we talk about practice. Indeed, if it was not for a student association present in Napoli I would never have the chance to go visit a company for example or discover how is the world outside.
Overall I can say I am satisfied with my experience here, I just think that on some things it could have been better.
As a second year student i can assure that the university provides all the basic knowledge a student need to be appealing for many companies. Useful student associations, competent professors and a nice environment. poor bureaucracy.
Lack of practical approach.
The university offers a wide range of study courses, providing a strong theoretical education in both humanistic and scientific fields. It is well connected with other European universities allowing for different exchange programs. You can experience a quite active student life in the historical center of Naples as well as around the engineering faculty. Just one bad thing: you might get a little bit crazy with all the bureaucratic paper work.
