With the Dual Career Programme, Politecnico di Torino intends to support student-athletes in balancing a sporting career with their academic education.
The Programme helps student-athletes with several support measures:
- Student-athletes can request and agree with the teaching staff (at the discretion of the latter) special exam dates, to be held outside the scheduled examination sessions, in the event that the official dates of a sport competition overlap with the examination session;
- possible identification of an academic tutor to support relations with the teaching staff;
- student-athletes with a full-time workload will follow the rules and duration that apply to part-time students;
- the student’s participation in the Dual Career Programme is mentioned in the Diploma Supplement.
The rules for admission to the Dual Career Programme for a.y. 2024/25 are available in the Call for Applications for admissions to the Dual Career Programme - a.y. 2024/25.
