Through the use of well-defined teaching methods and a wide range of events, our students, researchers, and staff are exposed to a constant stream of opportunities that can further push their understanding of the curriculum. This has proved to be a successful and effective strategy to broaden the way our educational programmes are undertaken. These countless learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, allow students to specialise in their interests, follow their dreams and make a real impact on today’s world. Even during the challenging time of the global pandemic, Polimi quickly adapted its teaching to distance learning mode, in under 2 weeks over 45,000 students and 1,400 professors had made the switch.

The approach to education taken by Polimi must be reinforced with a strong reliance on partnerships with other universities, businesses, and institutions. These types of collaboration are crucial for the complex challenges the world faces. Exchange programmes, internships and work placements are plentiful and carefully managed by our exchange office and career service.

To further enhance the learning experience and provide quality teaching to a larger number of students, the educational offer is almost entirely available in both English and Italian. The internationalization of Politecnico di Milano has been ongoing for the past few years, with a larger number of foreign students joining every semester. The halls and classes of these historical buildings have become an ecosystem with many opportunities for you to develop a life-long global network.
 

Life at Polimi is more than academic success. While providing an all-round educational offer, Polimi provides its students a wide selection of extracurricular activities, clubs, and societies. From music and radio broadcasting to athletics and motorsport, the university’s long list of recreational programmes gives the students the possibility to compete in global competitions and challenges with a high degree of exposure, often resulting in important victories and success stories. Many events are specifically dedicated to welcome international students.
