ASP Day - 18th Cycle Graduation Ceremony and 20th Cycle Opening Ceremony

In 2004, the Politecnico di Torino and Politecnico di Milano launched the Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP), an honours programme focused on multidisciplinarity and innovation. Since then, twenty cycles of ASP studies have been activated.

ASP is a school for young and exceptionally talented students, with a passion for innovation, who wish to develop their potential in a multidisciplinary community. ASP fosters new approaches aimed at developing tailored education by engaging students into personalized learning programmes. ASP selects 150 students per year, among the top 5% applicants to Master Degree programmes in Engineering, Architecture and Design at Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino.

This year the ASP Opening (20th cycle) and Graduation Ceremony (18th cycle) is an opportunity to celebrate those who have successfully completed a demanding and intense path, and also to reflect about the unique features of the ASP programme, that combines the robustness of deep vertical education - provided by the Master Degree programs at Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino - with the richness and openness of a horizontal interdisciplinary program - offered by ASP.
