ENGINEERING

MONODISCIPLINARY COURSES are characterized by theoretic contents taught in lectures and verified throughout the year with tests and interviews.

INTEGRATED COURSES cover more than one discipline or specific context. They are complementary and taught by several professors.

Before composing your study plan you should consider our rules indicated below:

• Maximum 40 ECTS credits per semester (no minimum requested)
• No more than 12 ECTS credits per semester in other Schools of PoliMi
• Design courses, Architecture Studios and Ambassador courses are not available for engineering students
• Integrated courses consist of several modules: you must take the entire integrated course (all the modules)
• Annual Courses are reserved for students who stay at Polimi for the whole academic year
• You can choose courses of both BSc and MSc levels but the majority of the ECTS credits MUST belong to your study level and study programme, as indicated in your online application
• Please note: some courses may have limited places available.

• Due to possible timetable overlapping exchange students are encouraged to identify some alternative courses
• Use the Customized Schedule tool at the Manifesti degli Studi to verify your weekly schedule
• Pay attention to where the course is held and avoid choosing courses held in different campuses
• The same course might have more than one section. You may choose any section
• Most courses at BSc are offered in Italian, while the majority of courses at MSc are taught in English.

You must search for a supervisor at Polimi who is willing to assist you with your thesis work and at the same time, you need a supervisor at your home university. You will not defend your thesis at Polimi, but only at your home university. Therefore, you cannot select “final project” in your study plan, and no grades/ECTS will be assigned in the ToR (Transcript of Records). The Polimi supervisor can issue a statement with information about the thesis work upon request.

ONLY FOR BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING: due to organisational reasons the Lab Courses can accept a limited number of participants. Students may apply by filling out an online form published on the Biomedical Engineering Programme website. At the same link you can find admission criteria and rules.
