Apply@polito is the online application platform of Politecnico di Torino. Apply@polito is where you submit your application (educational background, language certificates, other experience...) for enrolment in any degree programme offered by our University. 

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 2025.

You can apply for a maximum of two Master's degree programmes by selecting them in order of priority. If you are eligible for both programmes, enrolment will only be allowed for the Master's degree programme indicated as your first choice.

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

PROCEDURE

To enrol online, you must:

• have obtained your Bachelor's degree;
  • For students from Politecnico di Torino: the registration of your Bachelor’s degree is automatic after graduation (Student status: GRADUATED);
  • For students from other universities: yyou must enter your graduation date and final grade on the Apply@polito platform - Educational Background section by 30th September 2025 (for the Master's degree programmes in Urban and Territorial Planning, Digital skills for sustainable societal transitions and Landscape Architecture by 31st October 2025);

Payment methods are the following:

a) Credit cards (or other payment methods available on the PagoPA platform) generating an immediate payment;

b) Pre-printed notice of payment (MAV on the PagoPA platform), generating a deferred payment. The use of a deferred payment method is valid solely and exclusively if – after paying – you go back to the Apply@polito platform and enter the date of payment in the dedicated field (self-certification – art. 46 and 47 of D.P.R. n. 445/2000). Both the payment and the self-certification declaration must be submitted by the same deadline. Should the self-declaration be found to be false or incorrect, the online enrolment will be cancelled and the applicant will lose the right to enrol at Politecnico for academic year 2025/26. 

At the end of the payment phase, the system will show your student ID number and the access credentials to log in to your personal page of the Teaching Portal.

ENROLMENT TO BE COMPLETED

Students from other Universities: the system will display the following warning "Immatricolazione da completare" (enrolment to be completed).

Enrolment is completed with the recognition and verification of personal data, under penalty of definitive exclusion from the enrolment procedure. The deadline for completing enrolment for the first semester is:

• 18/12/2025 for students enrolling in the first semester
• 9/04/2026 for students enrolling in the second semester 

The recognition and verification of personal data takes place at the Registrar's Office. Please book an in-person appointment during opening hours with the identity document used during registration on the Apply@polito platform.  At the same time you will be able to pick up your smart card.

You will have limited access to the services available on your personal page of the Teaching Portal (e.g. you cannot request enrolment certificates and cannot register for any exam, etc.) until you complete the enrolment process.

After completing the identification phase, the message shown on your personal page of the Teaching Portal – Message: “Immatricolazione da completare / Enrolment to be completed” will be automatically cancelled.

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.

You will be able to enrol in the Master’s degree programme you have been admitted to AFTER you pass all the exams suggested by the Teaching Committee to make up for your unfulfilled academic requirements and AFTER you receive a positive evaluation of your portfolio (you will have to apply again in the next academic year).

The deadline for single course enrolment is 23^rd February 2026. If you are going to get your Bachelor’s degree by September 2025, 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.

PLEASE NOTE: If you were denied admission to a Master’s degree programme due to your unfulfilled academic requirements but you failed to enrol in single courses to make up for your Bachelor’s incomplete courses, you will NOT be allowed to enrol in single courses for competition, refresher and professional training choosing the same courses of the Master's degree programme for which you have applied.

If you wish to apply for an internal transfer to a Master's degree programme of the Architecture area you must submit your academic records for review through the Apply@polito platfoem (from your personal page of the Teaching Portal). The review is carried out to verify eligibility, recognition of credits previously earned and definition of the study plan.

You are allowed to select only one Master's degree programme for which you request such evaluation.

All information on the internal transfers is published in the "Transfers" chapter  of the Student guide a.y. 2025/26 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 carried out in order 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 programme (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 2025/2026.

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.
