The University
• Established in 1863 by a group of scholars and entrepreneurs belonging to prominent Milanese families.
• Is a science and technology university producing engineers, architects and industrial
designers through a variety of innovative specialising courses, with great attention being
devoted to all sides of education
• The number of students enrolled in all campuses is approximately 42,000, which makes the
Politecnico di Milano the largest institution in Italy for Engineering, Architecture and Industrial
Design.
• Its most eminent professors over the years have included the mathematician Francesco Brioschi
(its first Director), Luigi Cremona, and Giulio Natta (Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1963)
University Structure
• Organised in 18 departments and a network of 9 Schools of Engineering, Architecture and
Industrial Design spread over 7 campuses over the Lombardy region with a central
Administration and management.
• The 9 schools are devoted to education whereas the 18 departments are devoted to research
• Now ranked as one of the most outstanding European universities in Engineering,
Architecture and Industrial Design, and in many disciplines is regarded as a leading
research institution worldwide
• There are several teaching and research areas in which the Politecnico has distinguished itself
in the past, which have fuelled a tradition of excellence that has been progressively
updated: developing excellence and at the same time striking alliances with other Italian and
foreign universities and research centres
• This alliance is becoming increasingly important in Europe, where the Politecnico takes part in
many research and training projects with the best qualified European universities, as well as
expanding to other countries: from North America to South East Asia
• In this way, the students of "Politecnico di Milano" Technical University become citizens of the
world, offering companies the opportunity to hire skilled people to compete with their
colleagues from other nations, while also facilitating international relationships of Italian
companies
• In order for this challenge to be successful, we have started a "hospitality" policy, which is
progressively making accommodation, internships and apprenticeships available to students,
in collaboration with local businesses.

Alta Scuola Politecnica
The Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP) is a joint institution of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino, addressed to those young talents who want to develop their interdisciplinary capabilities for leading and promoting innovation.
The ASP aims to be an answer to the growing demand of Public Administrations and enterprises for young talents capable to face complex and multifaceted problems.
Therefore, the ASP has strict connections with Public Administrations and the enterprises in Lombardy and Piedmont, considered as one of the most developed macro-regions in Europe.
The ASP runs in parallel to the two-year courses of laurea magistrale and adds 30 credits (15 gained from courses and 15 from a multidisciplinary project work) to the 120 acquired during the regular study courses.
The ASP has an interdisciplinary approach: there will be one single class, composed by students coming from Engineering, Architecture and Design.
Each year ASP selects 150 promising students enrolled in the first year of a laurea magistrale
course in Engineering, Architecture and Design either at the Politecnico di Milano or at Politecnico
di Torino.
Fee Waivers
Fee-waivers are offered to all ASP students.
The fee waiver concerns both the tuition fees of the laurea magistrale of Politecnico di Milano (up to roughly 3.000,00 € per year) and the tuition fees of ASP (€ 3.000,00 per year).
In addition, foreign students receive support for their accommodation, in the form of admission free of charge to a student residence or, in case places are not available, in the form of a grant.
All ASP students are also provided with a budget for their multidisciplinary projects, whose allocation is defined by the team and agreed upon with tutors.
ASP students will be able to take full advantage of all the services and structures such as libraries, laboratories, sport facilities, at both Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino.
