Single course enrolment
You can enrol in single subjects (courses) at Politecnico di Torino without enrolling in an entire degree programme ending with an academic degree, provided that you meet the requirements prescribed by the law.  
Single course enrolment is possible in the following cases:   
  • for an open competitive exam, for professional updating and requalification;
  • for students enrolled at a non-Italian university;
  • to make up for any unfulfilled academic requirements for admission to a Master’s degree programme at Politecnico;
  • if you do not meet the language requirements (IELTS certificate or other certificates accepted in substitution for IELTS) for admission to a Master’s degree programme.
Please note:
  • tuition fees for single course enrolment are composed of a fixed fee (350,11 €) plus 16 € for each credit that you want to purchase (payment terms and methods are illustrated in the Tuition Fee Guide - a. y. 2019/20);
  • single course enrolment allows you to take the exam even before the course has been delivered. We suggest you read the course syllabus to learn about the course contents and exam format;
  • the Office of the University Registrar is in charge of issuing the certificates for this type of enrolment;
  • Politecnico can recognise single course credits if you decide to enrol in a degree programme at Politecnico di Torino.

We remind you that single course enrolment:
  • is incompatible with enrolment at any other Italian university: you are not allowed to be enrolled in another degree programme at antoher Italian university at the same time.
  • is valid for one academic year only: this means that if you purchased a course for a certain academic year, but you do not pass the exam by the end of the last examination session of that academic year (September), you will have to enrol in that course and buy its credits again in order to be able to sit the exam and earn the corresponding credits.
We cannot accept single course enrolment applications for: 
  • First-year courses belonging to any Bachelor’s degree programme;
  • Laboratories, Studios, Workshops and Design Units of the Architecture area;
  • Courses belonging to capped Engineering degree programmes (i.e., programmes with a limited number of places), including courses offered in year 2 or beyond;
  • “Safety on construction site” and “Risk evaluation and management in the industry and construction sites” courses: these certificates can be awarded only to students who are regularly enrolled in this degree programme (Legislative Decree No. 81/2008).
You are allowed to enrol in the above mentioned courses only if you  need to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements in order to be admitted to a Master’s degree programme. When you add one of the above mentioned courses,  your Apply@polito personal page will show a specific message.
