FREE CREDITS (8 CFU)
You can acquire free credits with the following training activities:   SPECIALIZING WORKSHOPS (allocation on the basis of merit)
Specializing workshops for the Master’s degree programmes of the Collegi of Architecture, Design,  Urban Studies and Planning are assigned on the basis of merit, taking into account the preference order expressed by each student and the number of places available for each workshop.  
We remind you that procedures for the choice of specializing workshops will be activated before the beginning of second semester. In order to be able to express your preferences, upon definition of your Annual Personal Study Plan, you must have inserted the names and generic codes of each course you wish to attend, within the deadlines illustrated in the academic calendar.  

Exams that have been anticipated from the Master’s degree programme will not count towards the calculation of the average grade.    
Calculation of the merit score:  

(overall weighted average of the Bachelor’s degree * 180) + [(V1 * CFU1) + (V2 * CFU2) + (Vn + CFUn)] ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________          
Number of semesters from first enrolment in the university system 

The number of semesters is calculated starting from the first enrolment in the university system. The score is calculated taking into account only those exams that were recognized and validated by Politecnico di Torino.  

The calculation of the merit score is based on the exams passed within the September 2016 examination session. 

You are allowed to express your preferences only if you have inserted the generic code “01RQDPV - Specilizing Workshop “ in your Annual Personal Study Plan.

When to express your order of preference for specializing workshops


Master’s degree students:
  • from 16th to 23rd February 2017 (first phase – merit ranking list)
  • from 28th February 1st March at 10.00 a.m. until 7th March 2017 (second phase - selection of courses with available seats)
