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 2024 (December 2024 or March 2025), 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 unearned credits to graduation (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 future 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. 2024/2025.
*You are allowed to advance some of your future Master's courses and include them in your current APSP event if you do not meet the 23 credits requirement on the date of APSP creation. In fact, Politecnico will check if you meet all the requirements at a later date, after all your exams have been recorded in your trascript.
- Submit your application for admission to your Master's degree programme through the Apply@polito platform within the deadline. 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. You are allowed to advance all courses belonging to the Master’s degree programmes you have applied for (including the courses of all the Specialist Pathways available within the Master's degree programme). 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 the 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 current APSP (they will be marked in violet). You will have to drag and drop them into your APSP before the deadline.
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.
| PLEASE NOTE: If you are going to graduate in September/October, you must NOT 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. |
You can choose between two different enrolment workloads for your APSP:
- FULL-TIME ENROLMENT: you can include a maximum of 80 credits in your APSP including:
- your Bachelor's incomplete courses (maximum 23 credits, including language exams and the Final Examination);
- your Master's first-year courses advanced in first semester.
- your Master's second-semester courses, if you graduate by March and enrol in second semester.
- PART-TIME ENROLMENT: you can include a maximum of 40 credits in your APSP 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 first semester.
- your Master's second-semester courses, if you graduate by March and you enrol in 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 28th March 2025.
Enrolment will be possible after your graduation grade is recorded in your transcript (Student status: GRADUATED).

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:
- if you wish to delete some of the courses that you had previously advanced from your PSP (because you 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.

Please note that:
- Master’s courses can be advanced one time only during the entire duration of your Bachelor’s degree programme. After advancing these courses, they will remain in your APSP until you get your Bachelor's degree, but you will not be able to add new Master's courses to your Bachelor's APS. PLEASE NOTE: even if your advanced courses had already been included in your past APSP, you need to apply for admission to the Master's degree programme in the academic year for which you actually want to enrol.
- If you do not meet the average grade requirement for admission the Master's degree programme, you will not be allowed to enrol in the programme, but your advanced Master's courses will remain included in your Bachelor's APSP.
- Advanced courses (attended but not passed and/or passed and registered) will be automatically transferred to your Master’s APSP.
- You are not allowed to advance any Master's course offered in second semester.
- If you pass the English language exam in the September IELTS session, the English credits will not count towards the limit of unearned credits allowed for advancing Master’s courses (max. 23 unearned credits).
- Internships (already included in your APSP in previous academic years) recorded in your transcript before 31st December will not count towards the limit of unearned credits allowed for advancing Master’s courses (max. 23 unearned credits).
