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 you need to fill out the application form, available on the Apply@polito portal from your personal page of the Teaching 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 to be 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 Deadlines section of the Master’s degree in Territorial, Urban, Environmental and Landscape Planning.
Failure to comply with these procedure and deadlines will result in your automatic exclusion from admission to our Master's degree programmes.   I
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.
If you are enrolled in a Bachelor’s degree programme at Politecnico and you are admitted to this Master's degree programme,  you are allowed to anticipate some exams belonging to your future Master’s degree programme and take them during your Bachelor’s studies (More information is available in the Regulations for course anticipation).
You can anticipate ONLY first-semester courses of your Master’s first year.
You can enrol in the Masters’ degree programme in Territorial, Urban, Environmental and Landscape Planning in first and in second semester. You have to stick to the deadlines and meet the admission requirements.
Curricular requirements, language requirements and suitable academic performance
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 to this programme are:
  • a three-year Bachelor's degree or university diploma, or other educational qualification obtained outside Italy and recognized suitable for admission in accordance with article 6 c. 2 of D.M. 270/04;
  • the competences and knowledge you acquired during your Bachelor’s studies (in terms of credits related to specific Scientific Disciplinary Fields or to some groups of them)
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 this 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. Politecnico graduates are given this opportunity  so they can obtain the English language certificate within the deadline for enrolment in second semester without delaying their studies.  If you get your language certificate (original copy) by 6th March 2018 you will be able to enrol in this Master’s degree programme in second semester of a.y. 2017/2018. The courses attended (pending examination) and the exams already passed will be automatically validated. More information is available in the Student Guide 2017/2018 of your programme - Enrolment in single courses.

You can  apply for admission even if you have a different Bachelor’s degree (belonging to another class).  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 can make up for your  unfulfilled academic requirements by enrolling in single courses. You will have to attend these courses and pass the exams.
You can be admitted to this Master's degree programme only after passing these exams.   You can decide to take the admission test anyways. If you pass the admission test, your offer of admission will be valid for admission in the next academic year as well.
Suitable academic performanceDirect admission without admission testYou can be admitted without having to take the admission test if:  
  • you have completed your Bachelor’s degree in 4 years or less(1), with a weighted average grade of the exams (2)equal to or greater than 27/30
  • you have completed your Bachelor’s degree in more than 4 years but less than 5 years(1), with a weighted average grade(2)  equal to or greater than 28/30
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, after having subtracted the worst 28 credits (these 28 credits will not be subtracted in case of  career credit recognition).  
The duration of your university career is calculated on the basis of the number of academic years you have been enrolled for:  
  • 1 year for each academic year of full-time enrolment;
  • 0,5 year for each academic year of part-time enrolment
(1) you must have graduated by December in order to meet the requirement related to the average grade
 (2) the weighted average is calculated as follows: (grade*credits) /credits

You can apply for admission when you reach 140 credits in your Bachelor’s degree programme.  Nevertheless, your average grade and your time to graduation may change before you obtain your Bachelor’s degree. Having considered all this, you can decide to register for the admission test in any case,  even if on the date of application submission you are eligible for admission without having to take the admission test.
Politecnico allows you to register for the admission test so that you have an additional chance to be admitted in the event that your average grade decreases or your time to graduation increases.
Enrolment
Your offer of admission is only valid for the academic year in which you submitted your application. This means that if you are admitted to the programme but you eventually do not enrol in it, you will have to apply again in future academic years. 
More information on how to submit your application and how to enrol is available in the “Online application” section.
