Transfers from other universities to Politecnico


If you are enrolled at another University and you intend to continue your studies at Politecnico di Torino, you must consider whether to start the transfer procedure (congedo) at your university of origin or not. This is suggested in case you have already passed some exams for which you intend to request the recognition and validation at Politecnico di Torino.

Otherwise, in case you have not taken any exam yet, we suggest you to take into consideration the possibility to withdraw from studies. This would allow you to start a brand new academic career at Politecnico di Torino.


We remind you that simultaneous enrolment in more than one Italian or foreign universities is prohibited by the law on university studies.

Generally, students coming from other universities, must gain at Politecnico at least 50 credits (beyond  the thesis credits) in order to earn their Master’s degree.

In order to transfer from a Master’s degree programme (laurea magistrale/specialistica) of another Italian University to a Master’s degree programme (laurea magistrale) offered by Politecnico di Torino, you need to have the necessary curricular and language requirements, on top of the personal education required by the Regulations of the degree programmes, available on http://apply.polito.it/


Language requirements: If you intend to transfer from another Italian University to a Master’s degree programmne at Politecnico di Torino, you must meet the admission language requirements listed in this table.

We remind you that any English language graded exam or any pass-fail examination that you might have passed at another University are not equivalent to the IELTS 5.0 certificate.  

How to request a transfer
:
  • enter the Politecnico website and register on the “Apply” service in order to verify if you are eligible for admission to a Master’s degree programme (you can request maximum two evaluations for two different Master’s degree programmes) and for the evaluation of your previous academic records;
  • upload your English language certificate on the “Apply” profile (the certificate will be checked when you actually enrol)
  • pay a fixed fee of 100,00 Euro for the evaluation of your previous academic records carried out by the Programme academic coordinator (referente cds): such fee will be deducted from your tuition fees in case of enrolment; otherwise it will not be reimbursed.
Evaluation of previous academic records:
  • you shall wait for the outcome of the evaluation carried out by the Programme academic coordinator and for the potential career credit recognition – you can check the result in the section “Valutazioni”/ “Evaluations” available on your “Apply” profile;
  • you can start the transfer procedure at your University of origin only after your admission to the selected  Master’s degree programme has been confirmed;
  • enrolment can be finalized only after the Office of Student Services has assessed  your previous career data, shown on the transfer documents.  After this operation, you have to complete your enrolment on line, through your “Apply” personal page; in order to proceed, you must  upload a passport photo and confirm the inserted data.
  • you must pay the enrolment fee, which is different according to the type of enrolment you have selected: part-time or full-time enrolment (see the 2016/2017 Fee Guide). You shall deduct from the enrolment fee the sum of 100 Euro which you had already paid.
  • the system will provide you with your student number (numero di matricola) and an appointment with our offices (the date of the appointment can be modified). On that day, you will have to go to the Office of Student Services for the verification of your admission documents and for the delivery of your Smart Card.
