Admissions a.y. 2018/2019
Before reading  this document, please read the general Admission Rules for Politecnico di Torino Master's degree programmes of the Architecture Area.
To apply for our Master's degree programmes fill out the online application form available on the Apply@polito portal.
You can  apply for a maximum of two Master's degrees programmes and you need to rank them in order of preference:  if you are considered eligible for both programmes,  you will only be allowed to enrol in the Master's degree programme which you  indicated as your first choice.
 
You can apply for admission if you  have already graduated or if you are still a student and you  have earned at least 140 credits (this is considered the minimum number of credits for the assessment of your previous academic records):
  • by July 2018: for admission in first semester
  • by the deadline for the submission of applications: for admission in second semester
The deadlines for the submission of applications are illustrated in the Deadlinessection.
Failure to comply with these procedure and deadlines will result in your automatic exclusion from admission to our Master's degree programmes.
In order to be admitted to a Master's degree programme, you  need to meet the "curricular requirements", the "language requirements" and have achieved an academic performance considered suitable for admission.
 
Admissions to the Masters’ degree programme in Systemic Design are possible both in first and in second semester. You have to stick to the deadlines and meet the admission requirements.
Curricular requirements
A specifically-appointed Committee will verify if you meet the curricular requirements for admission through the Apply@polito portal.
The curricular requirements for admission are:
  • a three-year Bachelor's degree or university diploma, or other educational qualification obtained outside Italy and recognised suitable for admission in accordance with article 6 c. 2 of D.M. 270/04;
  • the skills and competences you acquired during your Bachelor’s degree programme (in terms of credits related to specific Scientific Disciplinary Fields), as detailed in the following table:

L-ART/03, L - ART/06, MAT/05, MED/42, M-FIL/02, M-PSI/01
Each course can be linked to one or more Scientific Disciplinary Field (SSD).  Each Scientific Disciplinary Field can be associated to either core subjects or to distinguishing/related subjects.
When a course provides credits that are valid for various Scientific Disciplinary Fields:
  • credits are counted as credits for core subjects in the first place;
  • residual credits are counted as credits for distinguishing and related subjects.
This means that some course credits are counted to reach the minimum threshold for core subjects, while the remaining credits are counted to reach the threshold required for distinguishing and related subjects.
If you reached the threshold in one field, but you lack less than 10 credits in the other field (core subjects or distinguishing /related subjects) the Teaching Committee will consider if there are similarities among the Scientific Disciplinary Fields and provide guidance.      
Your Bachelor’s degree will be assessed by the Teaching  Committee which will decide if you have any unfulfilled academic requirements. In this case you will have to make up for your  unfulfilled academic requirements before you enrol in the programme.
To make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements, you need to enrol in Single Courses, attend them and pass the exams.  
 Only for candidates who have to make up for some unfulfilled academic requirements:If you pass the admission test, your offer of admission is valid also for academic year 2019/2020 (i.e., after you take the exams related to your unfulfilled academic requirements)
Language requirements
You are required to have an English language certificate - IELTS 5.0 or other certificate accepted in substitution for IELTS - in order to apply.
The English language certificate is an admission requirement. This means that without this certificate you will not be admitted to our Master’s degree programmes.
if you do not meet the language requirement by the deadline for enrolment, you can enrol in single courses. In this case you should choose the first-semester courses of the first year of the Master’s degree to which you have been admitted. You are given this opportunity so that you can obtain your English language certificate within the deadline for enrolment in second semester without delaying your studies.  If you get your language certificate by 5th March 2019 you will be able to enrol in your Master’s degree programme in second semester of a.y. 2018/2019. The courses attended (pending examination) and the exams already passed will be automatically validated. (More information is available in the Student Guide 2018/2019 of your programme - Enrolment in "Single courses").
If you do not manage to get your English language certificate within 5th March 2019, you will not be allowed to enrol in your chosen Master’s degree programme for a.y. 2018/19. Your enrolment in Single courses (exclusively first-semester courses which are already  included in your Annual Personal Study Plan) will remain valid for a.y. 2018/19 until the end of the autumn examination session. 
Suitable academic performance 
If you Bachelor’s degree was awarded by a university other than Politecnico di Torino, you are required to:
  • have a weighted average grade of all the exams (1) equal to or greater than 24/30, regardless of how long it took you to complete your Bachelor’s degree;
  • pass the admission test
   The weighted average grade is calculated on all accrued course credits (graded on a scale of 30) counting towards the achievement of the Bachelor’s degree.
(1)The weighted average is calculated as follows: ¿ (grade*credits) / ¿ credits
Application fee
You are required to pay an application fee of € 100,00.
You must pay this fee before the deadline for application submission on the Apply@polito portal. If you are applying for two different programmes, you will pay one application fee only (€ 100,00).
Upon enrolment in the Master’s degree programme or enrolment  in single courses, this amount will be detracted from your tuition fees.  
Please note that this amount will not be refunded if you eventually do not enrol in the programme or in the courses suggested by the Committee (unfulfilled academic requirements).
