Advancing your Master's courses
If you are enrolled in the Bachelor’s degree programme in Design and Visual Communicationat Politecnico di Torino and you are going to graduate after the September graduation period (December 2023 or February 2024), you are allowed to advance the first-semester courses belonging to the first year of the Master’s degree programme in “Systemic design”. This is possible only if you meet some specific requirements.
To learn about the rules and procedures for advancing  your Master’s courses please read the instructions available on the Master’s degree programmes Portal.

In order to advance some courses which belong to a Master’s degree programme, you can choose between the following enrolment workloads: 
FULL-TIME   
  • When you create your Annual Personal Study Plan you need to include your Bachelor's  incomplete courses (with pending exam) and your Master's first-year courses offered in first semester.      
  • If you get your Bachelor’s degree by February, you will be able to enrol in the Master’s degree programme you havew chosen. You will pay only the cost of the revenue stamp and you will be able to add also your second-semester courses, bearing in mind that you need to stick to the limit of 80 credits per academic year.  

PART-TIME       
  • You need to stick to the above mentioned rules and include a maximum of 40 credits in your APSP.  If you get your Bachelor’s degree by February, you will be able to enrol as a part-time student in the Master’s degree programme you have chosen. In this case, you will prepare a new APSP in accordance with the rules for part-time enrolment.
  • You will have to pay the cost of the credits and the revenue stamp.    

If you meet the requirements for advancing your Master's courses, you can add  your Master's first-year courses offered in first semester to your Bachelor’s APSP. If at the end of the September examination session you fail to meet the requirements for advancing Master's courses, these courses  will be automatically deleted from your APSP.
