You can submit your application even if you haven’t earned your Bachelor’s degree yet, but you need to have earned at least 140 credits at Bachelor’s level on the date of application submission by July 2024. 

It will be possible to apply for a maximum of two Master's degree programmes by selecting them in order of priority since, in the event of eligibility for both, enrolment will only be allowed for the Master's degree programme indicated as the first choice.

The time frame for the submission of applications is available in the deadlines section.

You can also book an appointment for the collection of the University System Smart Card at the University Registrar and Tuition Fees Unit* (main campus):  the collection is not compulsory (so you can also make no appointment). However, if you do not collect your Smart Card, you will not be able to make use of some University services, such as book loans at the library, access and printing of documents in basic computer laboratories. To modify/choose an appointment, select the  Apply@polito portlet from your personal page.

Enrolment must be completed within the deadlines

After enrolment, it will be possible to pick up the smart-card at the University Registrar and Tuition Fees Unit*. During the months of September and October 2024 it is necessary to book an appointment for the collection, which must be made using the Booking Tool (My Didactics - Booking Tool - General Student Secretariat - Smart-card delivery and duplication).

Payment methods for the first instalment

Payment can be made in the following ways:

• credit cards (or other forms of payment provided by the PagoPA platform), which generate an immediate payment;
• pre-printed payment notices (MAV on the PagoPA platform), which generate a deferred payment. If you pay using this method, you must go back to the Apply@polito platform and enter the payment date in a specific field (self-declaration in compliance with art. 46 and 47 of DPR no. 445/2000). In the event of a false or incorrect self-certification,  enrolment will be cancelled and you will lose all rights to enrol in academic year 2024/25.

* The Office of the University Registrar  (Corso Castelfidardo, 39 Torino -  ground floor - Cittadella Politecnica) is in charge of verifying the documents and delivering the Smart Card also to the students of the Architecture area.

Creation of the Personal Study Plan/Annual Personal Study Plan

After enrolling, students must define thier Personal Study Plan and create their Annual Personal Study Plan. For  procedures and details, read the specific chapter of the Guida studenti of your Master's degree programme.

The compilation of the Personal Study Plan/ Annual Personal Study Plan must be completed, for those who enrolled in the 1st semester, by

• 23 ^rd September 2024 in order to be able to indicate the order of preference for the Introductory Seminars;
• 10 days of the date of enrolment

Students who enrol after 23 ^rd September 2024 will be automatically assigned to the Introductory Seminars, without the possibility of choosing them.

The deadline for enrolment in the first semester is 30^th September 2024.

For students who will be enroll in the 2nd period (only students who have advanced Master's degree courses), the deadline for enrolment is 24^th February 2025 and the compilation of the Personal Study Plan / Annual Personal Study Plan must be complete within 10 days from the date of enrolment. 

In any case, after completing the enrolment process, a message will indicate the timing for defining your personal study plan/annual personal study plan.

If you do not meet the curricular requirements when you apply for admission to a Master's degree programme, you will have to enrol in single courses to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements before you can actually enrol in a Master's degree programme.

You can include up to a maximum of 60 credits in your Annual Personal Study Plan.

The deadline for single course enrolment is 24^th February 2025. If you are going to get your Bachelor’s degree by September 2024, we strongly recommend that you enrol in single courses before the end of September so you will be able to access all services starting from the beginning of classes.

This type of enrolment cannot include any courses belonging to a Master’s degree programme, as it is intended for the remedial of Bachelor’s incomplete courses for admission to a Master’s degree programme.

When all grades of your single courses are registered in your transcript, you need to contact the Office of Student Services using the Ticketing Service. The Office of Student Services will close your position as “student enrolled in single courses” and you will be able to enrol in your Master’s degree programme.

Those who intend to apply for an internal transfer to a Master's degree course in the Area of Architecture must, in compliance with the deadlines and the Access Rules, submit their educational background to a review through the Apply procedure through their personal page of the Teaching Portal, for the purposes of eligibility, recognition of credits acquired and definition of the study plan.

It is possible to select only one Master's degree course for which to apply for evaluation.

All information on the internal transfer procedure is published in the "Transfers" chapter  of the Student guide a.y. 2024/25 of the Master's degree programme in which you intend to continue your studies.

Students with a non-Italian Bachelor’s degree 

The Academic Advisor of the Master's degree programme you are interested in will have to check your Bachelor's degree.

Only if approved, the Academic Advisor will recognize your previously earned credits.

If you have a non-Italian Bachelor’s degree programme and you are interested in applying for an internal transfer to an italian-taught Master's degree programme, you need to have the required Italian language certificate.

If you are enrolled in a Master’s degree programme at another Italian University and you intend to transfer to a Master’s degree programme offered by Politecnico di Torino, you must submit your previous academic records for an evaluation from the Apply@polito platform.
This evaluation is useful to determine your eligibility for admission, your study plan and a possible recognition of your previous credits.  

You are required to pay a fee (Euro 100.00). This amount will be deducted from your tuition fees if you enrol in the same academic year for which you applied. This fee will not be refunded.  

We remind you that you must earn at least 50 credits at Politecnico (on top of the thesis credits) in order to attain your Master’s degree.

Exclusively the students who - following the verification of their Bachelor's degree -  meet the admission requirements to the Master's degree program (check the Admission requirements) will be able to proceed with the transfer request at the university of origin.

More information on how to request a transfer is available in the Student Guide 2024/2025.

We remind you that any English language exam (graded or ungraded) that you have passed while you were enrolled at another university IS NOT accepted by Politecnico in substitution for English certificate level B2 required.

PLEASE NOTE: you must consider whether to start the transfer procedure (congedo) at your university of origin or not. This is suggested in case you have already passed some exams for which you intend to request the recognition from Politecnico di Torino. Otherwise, if you have not taken any exams yet, or if you have taken just a few exams, we suggest that you take into consideration the possibility to withdraw from your current university (rinuncia agli studi) rather than start the transfer procedure. This would allow you to start a brand new academic path at Politecnico di Torino.

To enrol in a Master’s degree programme at Politecnico di Torino and obtain the recognition of your previously earned credits (credit transfer), you need to have one of the following degrees: 

• Master’s degree - Laurea Magistrale D.M. 270/04
• Laurea Specialistica D.M. 509/99
• Five-year degree - Laurea quinquennale prior to D.M. 509/99.

If you have one of the above mentioned degrees, you are required to submit your previous academic records for an evaluation from the Apply@polito platform, in compliance with the deadlines and the Admission requirements. This evaluation is useful to determine your eligibility for admission, your study plan and a possible recognition of your previous credits.

It is possible to request a credit transfer through Apply@polito platform also if you have withdrawn or forfeited from your previuos academic path.
We remind you that, in case of admission, you must earn at least 50 credits at Politecnico (on top of the thesis credits) in order to attain your Master’s degree.
ou will be able to enrol in the programme after you receive the outcome of the evaluation which will be available on the Apply@polito platform under the Evaluations section.

You must pay a fixed fee (€ 100,00) for the evaluation of you previous academic records. This amount will be deducted from you tuition fees if you decide to enrol at Politecnico in the same academic year for which you applied for admission; otherwise, it will not be refunded.
