POLITECNICO DI MILANO

Founded in 1863, the Politecnico di Milano is ranked as one of the most outstanding European universities in Engineering, Architecture and Industrial Design, and in many disciplines is regarded as a leading research institution worldwide.  The three main campuses are located in Milan, the heart of fashion and design and the future venue of Expo 2015, and there are five more campuses around the Lombardy region.

The Politecnico di Milano offers a variety of innovative programs at all levels. Thanks to a strong drive towards internationalization, many programs are taught entirely in English, attracting many talented foreign students.  Out of an overall student body of 38,000, 2,400 are foreign students from more than 100 different countries.

The Politecnico di Milano strongly supports multi-disciplinary research activities, in order to improve co-operation between the departments. This is also the approach of the PhD school and ASP (Alta Scuola Politecnica), a school for young, talented students who develop their skills in a teamwork context to pursue complex innovation projects.

Teaching is increasingly research-related which enables the institution to reach high level results at international standards.  In the Politecnico’s 130 laboratories, strategic research is carried out mainly in the fields of Energy, Transport, Planning, Management, Design, Mathematics and Natural and Applied Sciences, ICT, Environment and Cultural Heritage
