Brief introduction to the different specialisation courses at
Galileo Galilei High School
The different branches in technical secondary schools refer to the diverse production and service areas in the technological sector, with particular attention to process, product and service innovation.
In the field of Italian VET secondary schools, students from age 14 to 19 may choose different study areas hereafter called "branches" and "sub-branches".
Within the new, official framework of Italian technical secondary schools, our students are offered five different courses in the technical sector and a scientific lyceum, applied sciences sector:
- Electronics and Electrotechnics
This branch in technical high schools blends scientific and technological competences in the the field of materials, design, construction and subsequent inspection testing in productive contexts regarding electric and electronic systems, electrical systems and automation.
Our school offers two sub-branches / sectors courses:
- Electrotechnics course, which focuses on the design, production and management of civil and industrial electric systems and installations,
- Automation course, which focuses on the design, production and
management of control systems.s.
- Computer Science and Telecommunciations
This branch integrates scientific and technological competences in the field of ICT systems, information processing, applications and web technology, communication networks and apparatus.
Our school offers the following sub-branch / sector course:
- Telecommunications course, which focuses on the analysis, comparison, design, installation and management of electronic devices and instruments and telecommunications systems.
- Mechanics, Mechatronics and Energy
This branch blends scientific and technological competences in the field of mechanics,automation and energy.
Our school offers the following sub-branch /sector course:
- Mechanics and Mechatronics, which focuses, within the different production contexts, on the general themes connected with the design, production and management of apparatus and systems and the relative work organisation.
- Transportation and Logistics
This branch focuses on specific competences and work methods functional to the performance of activity inherent in the design, production and efficiency maintenance of vehicles and their relative systems/installations, and organization of logistics services.
Our school offers the following sub-branch / sector course:
- Aircraft Construction, which focuses on the construction and maintenance of the aircraft vehicle and the acquisition of professionality in the field of vehicle suitability testing and certification.
- Scientific Lyceum - Applied Sciences sector
The lyceum stresses a scientific-based approach with main focus on science, physics, chemistry and maths together with information and communication technology competence for acquisition of skills required for scientific sector university studies.
