Politecnico di Milano

Established in 1863, Politecnico di Milano is one the most outstanding technical universities in Europe, and the largest Italian university in Engineering, Architecture and Design, with over 45,000 students.
The university has seven campuses located in Milan and in other nearby Italian cities: Lecco, Cremona, Mantova and Piacenza. It is organized in 12 Departments and in 4 Schools, respectively devoted to research and education.

Research plays a central role in the university mission, aiming at providing the best standards in education. It is fueled by strong links to corporate research, considerable European funds, and a set of well-equipped laboratories.
Politecnico di Milano offers innovative programmes at all academic levels. Almost the entire postgraduate academic offer is taught in English, thus attracting an ever-increasing number of international students, coming from more than 100 countries.

The list of Politecnico di Milano notable alumni is considerable and includes renown professionals, such as Renzo Piano and Aldo Rossi, both Pritzker  and Prize winners, and Giulio Natta, Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry.

Politecnico di Milano is a proud member of IDEA League, a strategic alliance among five leading European universities of technology that aims to educate a new generation of Engineers with extra-curricular activities for selected, highly talented students.

Politecnico di Milano Masters Programs

In order to apply for the Politecnico di Milano MSc programmes, some entry requirements should be met, including holding a bachelor degree in a related field of study.

There are two intakes a year, corresponding to 1^st and to 2^nd semester, respectively starting in September, and in February. Please note that Design programmes only allow to apply for the 1^st semester.

The “Laurea Magistrale” (equivalent to Master of Science) is obtained after two years of postgraduate studies and aims to provide rigorous, advanced training in specific sectors. Applicants who already have a “Laurea” (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in a different field or have attended a vocational school, as well as those who obtained an undergraduate qualification at a University of Applied Science (or any other university with a similar study profile), cannot apply directly for a “Laurea Magistrale” (equivalent to Master of Science), but they must first obtain the necessary credits. 

FOR STUDENTS WITH A UNIVERSITY QUALIFICATION OBTAINED OUTSIDE ITALY AN ENGLISH OR ITALIAN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY CERTIFICATE IS REQUIRED

If your bachelor degree was taught in English, you may upload a document certified by your university attesting the teaching language instead of the language certificate.

Applicants to Master of Science programmes are required to have a Bachelor degree or be in the process of completing a Bachelor degree. Admitted applicants will have to graduate before the enrollment.

Your undergraduate level programme must contain subjects closely related to the MSc programme you are applying to.
