Request for assessment for admission to laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes Students can be admitted to Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes at Politecnico di Milano in both the first and the second semester. Entry to laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes is subject to an evaluation of the past career of applicants, and to verification of their knowledge of English. The selection methods privilege students with greater skills and personal preparation, no matter what School or University they come from. The entry conditions can be different for each laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme. All the internal and external applicants must find out if they have to do an entrance test for their specific programme; to do this they should consult the site of the reference school (www.polimi.it/en university schools) where the execution dates and methods are published. Each School can deliberate on specific criteria for each programme, therefore the student is invited to consult the School site and the teaching regulations of the programme to be attended.

Requirements for presenting the request for assessment Qualification Students can present their request for assessment for admission to Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes only if they have a First level Degree (Min.Decree 509/99 or Min.Decree 270/04), a Degree obtained with the educational system used prior to Min.Decree 509/99 or University Diploma. A request for assessment can also be presented if you are a student:

- of Politecnico di Milano and you have enrolled in the Degree exam session - of another University and will graduate before your enrolment in the Laurea magistrale

(equivalent to Master of Science). In all cases of positive assessment, you must have obtained your degree before the enrolment deadline date in order to proceed with registration.

Knowledge of English Remember that to attend the Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes, it is mandatory that students demonstrate that their knowledge of the English language is at the level indicated in table 1. If this requirement is not satisfied by the presentation of an English language certificate, students cannot enrol. You must present the original English language certificates requested by the University for the following programmes: Architecture Urban Planning construction Engineering (AUIC): within the date

given for presenting your request for admission

Design: within the date given for presenting your request for admission

School of Civil, Environmental and Land Management Engineering (INGCAT): within the date indicated for enrolment

School of Industrial and Information Engineering: within the date indicated for enrolment If you need further information, we suggest consulting the programme teaching regulations on the site of the School you are interested in (www.polimi.it/en university schools)

N and V assessment criteria for students who graduated at the Politecnico Those students who graduated from Politecnico di Milano and present a request for admission will obtain a positive assessment if:

a. their N (credits acquired) and V (weighted average) parameters, at the end of the 2nd year September exam sessions, correspond to the values deliberated by the Schools. Students can verify the N and V parameter values, which are set by the Schools according to specific criteria, by accessing the Online Services (www.polimi.it/onlineservices in the section “ Career”). In some cases, for example career with programme changes, the N and V parameters are not available. In these cases, the School will make a specific assessment, which can include a specific ranking.

b. they satisfy the English language requirements requested by the teaching Regulations of their programme (www.polimi.it/en/students/guidelines-and-rules).

c. they have graduated within four academic years from enrolment1

1 An assessment of graduation from a first level laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in less than four academic years from registration considers the total of academic years over which the academic curriculum is spread. The academic curriculum closes when all 180 ECTS credits of the first level Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) have been obtained, including the end test, the English language exam and, where required, completion of curricular internships. Note that presenting a Study plan with the aim of recovering missing attendance or attendance as extra for Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes factually increases the duration of the academic year. For example, the Degree exam session of February 2017 is considered as the last of Academic Year 2016/16 for those students who have not presented a new Study plan for Academic Year 2015/16 (because not required to recover missing attendance and/or not interested in inserting, as extra, attendance at Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes), while it is considered as the first degree exam session of Academic Year 2016/17 for those students who

8

d. they enrol in a continuation programme to a Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) after their first level programme.

The above students must present a request for assessment. To access the Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes, students who do not have the required N and V parameter values, who did not graduate within 4 years from registration, and those who come from other Universities are subject to prior career assessment by the School Boards or Study programme board, which give an incontestable judgement. The Boards must give a suitable reason for their decision to exclude a student, whenever this occurs. The individual Teaching regulations for Programmes (www.polimi.it/en programmes Course Catalogue Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) and Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science)) establish any additional curricular requirements necessary for admittance to the Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes. For each Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme, the Teaching regulations indicate the criteria to be followed for granting or refusing admission. These criteria must include one or more of the following items:

a. the laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) score, or the weighted average over the whole career already covered, with a minimum of 150 ECTS credits; in this case sub condicione admission can be deliberated, on the condition that the student presents self-certification of graduation within the indicated time deadlines

b. the number of years taken to graduate (e.g. within the 4th academic year from registration, i.e. within the February after the 4th calendar year has passed from registration)

c. the minimum number of credits acquired in specific sets of Disciplinary Scientific Sectors - SSD (if possible, indicate the 'equivalences' with SSDs that do not belong to Architecture/Design/Engineering classes)

d. assessment of the skills acquired even through a curriculum / motivation letter / references / possible interview / certification of relevant working experience (the documentation relative to this experience could, for example, allow the CCS Board to derogate from the limit on the years taken to graduate).

presented a new Study plan (because interested in recouping missing attendance or attendance as extra at the Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science)).

Results of the request for assessment The results of all students are not published at the same time. Some Boards, in fact, publish the results of all students at the same time, at the end of the assessment period, while others make them visible as soon as the application has been assessed. As the Boards that assess vary for each Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme, some students may see the result before others. Period when assessments are made

Possible assessment results Each Board evaluates the requests, associating one of the following results (visible to the applicants) to each one:

Preference Statuses

Da valutare Preference to be assessed. - (the applicant cannot enrol) Da formalizzare The admitted candidate accepts the admission In Sospeso The board notifies the Candidate that it has considered his/her application, but that it does not have sufficient elements to express a final assessment; the candidate may be asked to provide further elements to integrate the application he/she has submitted. Valutata positivamente Choice formalized ready to be enrolled Some applicants can be admitted with teaching obligations/bans: Obligations are courses that are necessarily inserted in the student's Study plan; the course exams still have to be passed. The Board can delay the obligation to attend a programme until the following year. The obligation is calculated for ECTS credits that are useful for obtaining a Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science). Selecting specific courses that are banned, defined in detail, can never be inserted in the Study plan. Valutata positivamente con vincoli Admitted with Curriculum Integrations for Individual Courses only. admission is subject to the fact that the applicant, within the academic year to which the application refers, obtains the ECTS credits relative to the curricular integrations, indicated by the Board in terms of quantity, with the relative identification codes, therefore the applicant must take additional exams before enrolling. Utilizzata per l'immatricolazione Candidate enrolled Utilizzata per l'immatricolazione con vincoli Individual Course enrolment with Curriculum Integrations. Valutata negativamente Preference assessed negatively Rifiutata dal candidato Preference discarded on matriculation. Invalidate per iscrizione effettuata Preference cancelled due to matriculation.

We remind you that after enrolment, you will have to submit a Study plan, and you might already notice as inserted:

• attendance endorsements: relating to extra courses inserted in the latest Study Plan submitted for the three-year not passed/taken programs. Attendance endorsements of Single Programmes, too, may be requested.

• exam endorsements: relating to extra courses inserted in the latest Study plan submitted

for the three-year passed/taken and/or anticipated as Single Programmes

• additional academic requirements: courses inserted in the Study plan passing which is compulsory. The Commission may approve and/or postpone attendance of a course to the following year; the requirement is calculated in the total of 120 university credits useful for graduation. Attendance may refer both to the current and to the following year.

In drawing up the Plan, moreover, you must pay regard to any Bans allocated by the Commission at the stage of assessing the request for admission to the laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) course

• bans: relating to exams the candidate may not insert in the Study Plan. By clicking on the icon with the magnifying glass, you will be able to view in detail the outcome of the application for admission, further ascertaining in the process how the Commission has viewed the anticipated exams as “extra” or as “single programme”.

Enrolment in individual programmes to obtain curricular integrations If curricular integrations are assigned, students cannot enrol in a Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme, but will have to take the additional exams. To attend and and take them, students should enrol in the individual courses (Single subject programme) using the application in which the result of the request for assessment is published. You can enrol in a maximum number of single subject programmes equal to 80 ECTS credits per year, which can include: - either the curricular integrations, assigned by the Board during assessment for admission to a Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) - or the advanced courses of the Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme from among those indicated in the educational regulations of the programme; remember that the latter cannot in any event exceed 32 ECTS credits per year. Attention: those who enrol in single subject programmes with curricular integration must present a request for assessment again. The terms for enrolment in single subject programmes with curricular integrations are the same as those for enrolment in Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes. The amount payable for tuition fees and contributions is as follows:

- 1st instalment € 845.58 - 2nd instalment varies according to the credit total:

ECTS CREDITS I INSTALMENT

Changes and transfers Coming from Laurea Specialistica/Magistrale (equivalent to second cycle/Master of Science)

programmes from other universities Coming from Laurea Specialistica/Magistrale (equivalent to second cycle degree/Master of

Science) programmes from other universities Coming from programmes indicated in Min.Decree 509/99.

Students who have already enrolled in a Laurea Specialistica/Magistrale, and who intend requesting a change of Programme or School, or to be transferred from another University, must have the same requirements and respect the same deadlines given for presenting the request for assessment and enrolment, which appear in the previous sections. Attention: Changes and transfers cannot be made in the second semester. Students from other Universities must acquire at least 60 credits at the Politecnico, equivalent to one year of attendance. Schools can determine other obligations if necessary, so we advise checking the respective sites. In particular, the School of Design offers a pre-assessment service for requests sent to the School itself (www.design.polimi.it – English version)

Steps to take after enrolment Study plan Presenting your study plan After enrolling, students must present their yearly Study plan within the periods indicated by the academic calendar using the Online Services, indicating the programmes to be taken (www.polimi.it programmes calendar-lectures-exams). The Study Plan remains valid for one year. Modifications can be made with the School of Engineering and the School of Architecture and Society, but only during the interval indicated by the Academic Calendar, and only to the attendance required for the second semester of the same academic year. The Study plan must consider all the obligations deliberated by the Board and cannot exceed 80 ECTS credits per year. More specifically:

- Any teaching obligations associated with the context academic year will be calculated in the total of the credits required for the year and for the purpose of acquiring the qualification.

- Any exam validations should be translated into Plan lines that record acquisition (for validation) of the ECTS credits associated with programmes offered during the selected Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme.

- Any attendance validations that allow entry to an exam during the first available session, will be calculated in the total of yearly credits.

- Possible bans

In all cases, students must follow the regulations for verification of their knowledge of English (consult the Guide to the English language (www.polimi.it/en/students/guidelines-and-rules) for more information and the entrance prerequisites necessary for enrolling in the same programme in Academic Year 2015/2016 (consult educational rules of the specific School).

24

Attendances made are not lost, but remain acquired, and they do not have to be re-inserted year by year. A maximum number of 80 and a minimum number of 32 ECTS credits can be selected for the academic year. If a Study plan is not presented within the given deadlines, € 100.00 will be added for arrears to payment of the second instalment.

Publication of Architecture and Design programmes School of Architecture, Town Planning and Building Engineering and School of Design

Previously Approved Study Plans (PSPA) are available for some Laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) studies; these plans divide the laboratories that the students have to select when presenting their Study plan in order of preference. Students will be allocated to one of the selected options according to how the teaching load is distributed among the professors. The Schools will indicate the availability of places for each programme. Students are allocated according to criteria established by the Regulations of each School. Policard (Ateneo +) The Policard will be sent to your registered address; with this card you can use the Politecnico di Milano services (access to the computerised classrooms and the reading room, payment of tuition fees and contributions, have refunds credited, etc.). While waiting for your Policard, you can use the Libraries by presenting the surveillance staff with the enrolment receipt together with an identity document or an attendance certificate. Your Policard must be enabled before it can be used; to do this access the pertinent function on the Online Services (www.polimi.it/online services Data Policard Card - activation, status display, booking re-issue). This operation should only be carried out once, before the card is used. The Policard (Ateneo +) can be used:

- as a "university card" to access the Politecnico spaces such as laboratories, libraries, classrooms, canteen, reserved areas, conventions and events, and services such as the logical access to the Internet or the online services that can be used by Politecnico di Milano students.

- as a "prepaid card rechargeable with IBAN" to have any refunds and the benefits issued by Politecnico di Milano for the right to study credited. As a Card it can be used to make payments or withdrawals in Italy and abroad, as well as to carry out some typical current account operations: credit bank transfers, issue bank transfers and pay your consumption. To activate it, take an identity card or tax code or passport personally to any branch of the Banca Popolare di Sondrio. No amount will be charged for this operation. Further details can be seen on the page of the Banca Popolare di Sondrio, under Carta ateneo + (www.popso.it/ateneopiu )

- as a "contactless payment card" to make small purchases in the stores that install this new system.

The Policard (Carta Ateneo +) does not have a photograph and is not valid as an identity document or as a document to prove enrolment at Politecnico di Milano. As a result, students must always present a valid identity document at the exam premises.

25

Lecture times A few days before lectures begin, you can verify the time of your lessons, the time and classroom in which you can attend the courses selected in your Study plan through the Online Service lecture times. ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) The new ISEE (Presidential and Council of Ministers Decree of 03 December 2013) came into force on 1 January 2015. Students who wish to be assigned to a lower income bracket than the maximum income range (10) must present an ISEE Certificate 2017 (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) used for obtaining the services provided under the "Right to Higher Education" regulations. This certificate will determine the amount due for the second instalment. All deadlines relative to Academic Year 2016/2017 will be published in the calendar on page www.polimi.it/en/programmes/calendar-lessons-exams/academic-calendar The new ISEE (Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator) indicator is only issued by the INPS (Social Security Service). The DSU (Self-Declaration) to obtain ISEE certification can be presented, as indicated by new legislations:

• Independently, by connecting with the INPS site (www.inps.it), and independently inserting your information in a pertinent section (https://servizi2.inps.it/servizi/Iseeriforma/home.aspx )

• Competent INPS offices for the area • Tax assistance centres • Municipalities

The ISEE information should be inserted in your personal page on the Online Services (www.polimi.it/onlineservices university tuition fees) Tuition fees and contributions The first instalment of the first year should be paid when the student enrols. The second rate must be paid within 22 May 2017 and is calculated on the basis of:

• the number of ECTS credits in the Study plan • the income bracket declared on the ISEE declaration

26

Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP) The Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP), which was started in 2004 by Politecnica di Milano and Politecnica di Torino, runs parallel to the laurea magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science). It is centred on interdisciplinary training and on the realisation of multidisciplinary projects. 150 students are selected for each ASP programme, from among architects, designers and engineers. 25% of those chosen are foreign students, while 50-60% come from the top first level Graduate students from the two Politecnicos. The remainder are selected from the best 1st level Graduate students from other Italian universities. To apply, students must have an average of above 27/30 (and, in the case of students from both Universities, be part of the top 7.5% of the students of each Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme, have an optimal knowledge of English and suitable motivation, verified by an ad hoc interview that is part of the selection process. To add continuity to the ASP experience, even after the end of the two-year experience, the graduate students established the "ASP Alumni" association. The educational road is based on interdisciplinary programmes and multidisciplinary projects. The official language is English. ASP programmes are typically articulated as Winter, Spring and Summer School lasting one week, and they are held in various Italian localities. The objective of ASP projects is to experiment with both the specific knowledge acquired during Lauree Magistrali (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes, and the transversal knowledge obtained during ASP courses, on themes tied to interdisciplinarity in innovation and in particular the development of complex systems in multidisciplinary contexts. Additional information on the ASP programme, the disciplinary projects selected for the first nine programmes, the admission criteria and the methods of application can be found on www.asp-poli.it.
