We are the university with the highest percentage of foreign students in Italy and our students can choose to study for their degree in English. Our links with some of the most prestigious universities around the world enable us to make periods of study abroad available to our students, and these qualifications are recognized in many countries.
Politecnico di Torino offers a multicultural study environment and has a close relationship to businesses, who share our premises and work with us on many projects giving students the opportunity to gain work experience during their years at university. The cittadella politecnica is a new campus area where research, teaching and training go hand in hand with student services as well as financial and cultural activities. The Business Research Center inside the cittadella produces cutting-edge research for international corporations while the Venture Capital Section gives research the backing it needs to develop. Over the last ten years more than 100 business start-ups have been launched with the support of the I3P Incubator, which is also in the cittadella area. Newly-built facilities include lecture rooms, study areas, the new student's canteen, and a new sports center which will be opening soon.

Politecnico di Torino is a real research university, where training and research work together to meet the needs of the local area and economy and above all of the students. It offers a unique experience for students who intend to seize all the opportunities the future can offer.
