Advancing your Master's courses
If you are enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree programme at Politecnico and you are going to graduate after October 2023 (December 2023 or March 2024), you are allowed to advance some of your future Master’s courses (so you can take them while you are still a Bachelor’s student).
You can advance only first-semester courses of your Master’s first year, and only if you meet the following requirements:
You can advance only first-semester courses of your Master’s first year, and only if you meet the following requirements:
- you meet all the admission requirements of the Master's degree programme you have chosen (curricular requirements, suitable academic performance)
- at the end of the autumn examination session (September), you have a maximum of 23 credits still unearned (including the English language exam and the Final Project - even if they were already included in your Annual Personal Study Plan of previous academic years).
You can apply for admission to a Master’s degree programme and request to advance some of your Master’s courses even if you do not have a language certificate yet (and your Apply page displays the following message «Language requirements unfulfilled»).
We recommend you carefully check the language requirements for admissions to Master's degree programmes in a.y. 2023/2024.
PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to graduate in September and October, you DO NOT need to create your PSP/APSP for the new academic year, so you cannot advance any Master's course. When you receive your offer of admission for your Master's degree programme, a section called "Insegnamenti/Courses" will become visible on your Apply@polito page. From this section, you can select the courses that you want to attend. You will be able to see the class timetables and learning materials. After graduation, you will be able to enrol in your Master’s degree programme and create the corresponding PSP/APSP.
- Sumbit your application for admission to your Master's degree programme through the Apply@polito platform. You can apply for a maximum of two Master's degree programmes. If you apply for a Master’s degree programme taught both in English and in Italian, it won’t be counted as 2 programmes, but as a single choice (eg. Ingegneria Meccanica + Mechanical Engineering = 1 choice)
- Wait for the outcome of the admission process. If you have been admitted to the Master’s degree programme/s you have selected, you can advance some exams belonging to your future Master’s degree programme. You are allowed to advance all courses belonging to the Master’s degree programmes (and all Specialist Pathways available within the Master's degree programme) you have applied for. This means that if you have applied for two programmes, you can add the courses of both programmes to your APSP. Advancing your Master’s courses IS NOT equivalent to enrolling in a Master’s degree programme. Enrolment will be possible only after you earn your Bachelor’s degree.
- Log in to your personal page of the Teaching portal - Online services TAB - Create your PSP/APSP portlet: here you will visualize the Master’s courses that can be included in your APSP (they will be marked in violet). You will have to drag and drop them into your APSP before the dedaline.
If you are not sure whether you are going to graduate in October, we recommend you create your APSP by the deadline in any case (without enrolling). By doing so, you make sure that you will be able to advance your Master's courses even if you do not graduate in October.
You can choose between two different enrolment workloads for your APSP:
- full-time enrolment: you can include a maximum of 80 credits in your Annual Personal Study Plan including:
- your Bachelor's incomplete courses (maximum 23 credits, including the foreign language exam and the Final Examination);
- your Master's first-year courses advanced in the first semester.
- your Master's second-semester courses, if you graduate by March and enrol in the second semester
- part-time enrolment: you can include a maximum of 40 credits in your Annual Personal Study Plan including:
- your Bachelor's incomplete courses (maximum 23 credits, including the foreign language exam and the Final Examination);
- your Master's first-year advanced courses offered in the first semester.
- your Master's second-semester courses, if you graduate by March and you enrol in the second semester.
We remind you that advancing some of your future Master's courses does NOT mean that you are automatically enrolled in the programme after getting your Bachelor's degree. You will have to complete the enrolment process from the EVALUATIONS section of the Apply@polito platform by 4 April 2024.
Enrolment will be possible after your graduation grade is recorded in your transcript (Student status: GRADUATED).
After completing the enrolment process, you will have 10 days to create your Master's PSP/APSP taking into account that:
Important! If you are going to graduate in March, you are allowed to select your second-semester courses of your Master's first year while you are waiting to enrol in the programme. You can select these courses from the "Courses" section of your Apply@polito personal page. After selecting and saving them on the Apply platform, they will be visible in the OTHER COURSES section of your personal page of the Teaching Portal (this section is located under the APSP).
- if you wish to delete from your PSP some of the courses that you had previously advanced (because you do no longer want to take them), you need to contact the Student Careers Unit which will delete them;
- you are not allowed to add any first-semester course that had not been originally advanced, unless they are exams that can be taken before attending the course, marked with a specific symbol in the course catalogue;
- you are allowed to include also second-semester courses of your Master's second year.

- You are not allowed to advance any Master's course offered in the second semester.
