The curricular requirements for admission to Politecnico Master’s degree programmes are:  

• three-year Bachelor's degree or university diploma, or other suitable academic qualification obtained outside Italy and considered suitable for admission; 

• competences and knowledge acquired during your Bachelor’s studies, expressed in credits (ECTS), as further below specified:
• minimum 40 credits  in core subjects (45 credits are required for admission to the Master’s degree programme in Mathematical Engineering):   
• minimum 60 credits in distinguishing and related subjects (attività caratterizzanti ed affini) 

Please check this table to find out more details about the Scientific Disciplinary Fields  of core subjects and distinguishing /related subjects accepted for admission to each Master’s degree programme. 

PLEASE NOTE: Admissions to the Master’s degree programme in INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION ENGINEERING are subject to the approval of the foreign partner university which will award the double degree.    

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.     

If you do not meet the curricular requirements, you will have to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements (credits) before you enrol in the Master’s degree programme you have chosen. You can:  

• if your unfulfilled academic requirements are worth 60 credits or less: enrol in single courses (for more information check the Student Guide 2017/2018 of your programme – Enrolment in single courses).

PLEASE NOTE: When you enrol in signle courses to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements, you will be allowed to include in your Annual Personal Study Plan (APSP)  only the courses decided by the Teaching Committee or  

• if your unfulfilled academic requirements are worth more than 60 credits: enrol in a Bachelor’s degree programme , obtain a possible recognition of your prior credits, make up for the  credits required for admission in the Master’s degree programme you are interested in (core subjects and distinguishing or related subjects) For more information check the Student Guide 2018/2019 of your programme – Enrolment in single courses.
