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

• three-year Bachelor's degree or university diploma, or other suitable educational qualification obtained outside Italy

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

The career evaluation is made by a Teaching Committee, not from the Segreteria Didattica. The result of the evaluation will be ready after about 10-20 days if the chosen programme is different from the completed Bachelor’s degree programme.

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

Each course can be linked to one or more Scientific Disciplinary Field (SSD).  Each Scientific Disciplinary Field can be associated with 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 lack more than 10 credits the evaluation of the similarities among the Scientifica Disciplinary Fields will be subjected to the final approval of the Vice-Rector for Education.
