2. General presentation of the study programme

The complexity that characterises the building sector today requires a growing number of technical graduate students and an organic diversification of their educational paths regarding Lauree (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in Architecture and those in Engineering.

 

In this context a Building Engineer, who was once part of the Civil Engineering sector, has now become strongly specialised and with educational independence.

 

A Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) graduate student in Building Systems is a cultured and critical technician, with a solid scientific and technical preparation, and a professional attitude that allows him/her to:

 

engineer the architectural design of buildings, with special attention to those that are complex, large-sized and/or destined either partly or completely for special activities;

supervise the design integration of all the technological and technical components: building, structural and plant;

organise and control the production process and maintenance;

participate actively in the planning and management of the whole production cycle and life cycle of the buildings.

3. Learning objectives

The educational objective is to insert into the labour market a high profile professional figure who, through his/her interdisciplinary preparation and the acquisition of a purely engineering-based methodology, is able to identify the problems and find appropriate design solutions while remaining in step with the innovative dynamics of the sector, in order to improve the physical, technical, performing, process and economic values of the building quality.

 

In particular, the purpose is to form a professional figure in engineering that can operate independently and effectively in the processes and activities of the following:

 

the design of complex construction systems, for the technological, structural, environmental quality aspects, with special attention paid to the conditions of wellbeing, useful service life and energy and environmental impact problems;

the recovery, redevelopment, maintenance and management of the existing building stock; the development of the operative, management and economic aspects of the building process;

management of the technological and production processes regarding the building section (new constructions, existing buildings), with special attention given to the problems of safety;

the study, development and use of building, structural and plant systems and components with new or better performances;

experimentation and quality control of the products and works.

 

All the above activities are integrated in the course. The differentiation into three specialization fields allows to deepen the knowledge in one of the three themes that characterize this course, namely technological and performance design, structural design and retrofitting of buildings, production and construction, all calibrated to acquire skills that meet the demand of the labour market.

4. Organization of the study programme and further studies

4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications

 

The programme is divided into a series of courses that involve the disciplinary spheres that are typical of Engineering and construction systems, namely:

the architectural, construction, structural and plant design of new buildings;

the architectural, construction, structural and plant design of the restoration and the functional and performance redevelopment of existing buildings;

the general and detailed design of structures;

the organisation, programming, control of the production processes, and the construction and management processes of the buildings;

that include the learning and use of BIM (Building Information Modelling).

 

More in detail, the thematic circles corresponding to the previously accepted Study Plans are, for example: building design, which analyses the aspects of technological and environmental design and gives specific detailed studies for solving the problems of complex organisms of large-sized works and special environments.

The design characteristics of the quality of the built environment, technical quality of components and building materials and relative performances; the development of building systems with a low environmental impact and low energy consumption are faced in the programmes, even by way of practical exercises.

All the problems that are faced consider respect of the principles of sustainable development.

Management of the building process and production, which goes further into one of the following aspects:

-              technical-productive, related to quality and initial technological sustainability, implementation relative to time and maintenance, of the building systems and components, with special attention given to their durability and maintainability and the recyclability of the materials, as well as to quality control and quality systems;

-              organisational, procedural, economic, financial and programming of building interventions, with reference to value analysis and project financing, tender formulas and the offer presentation and works awarding criteria;

-              managerial, of the building intervention processes according to the project principles, construction, maintenance, control management, as well as facility management for the choice strategies of the types of maintenance, in particular in the cases of tenders for global service maintenance.

Building recovery, which is aimed at supplying building system engineers with the general and special knowledge and operation skills necessary for facing the building recovery sector, both in terms of design and from the point of view of the technologies and organisation for managing interventions. 

The themes of the investigation for becoming familiar with the existing buildings, their history, their material and technological and structural consistence and preservation level are therefore analysed at a disciplinary and an instrumental level; the technologies of intervention on the construction are therefore examined, in order to design the intervention process and therefore re-establish or increase the use value of the building.

Structures, which looks further into the themes of structural design, analysing in detail the structures of reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, wood, masonry and relative performances and problems of antisesimic resistance and geotechnics.

4.2 Further Studies

The qualification enables students to access Research Doctorate, Level II Specialisation Courses and Level II University Master's programmes.

 

After obtaining a Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) in Building Systems Engineering, graduate students can enter the University at the third level of university training by doing the Ph.D. programmes in the construction and the Real Estate Market sectors.

The qualification grants access to "Dottorato di Ricerca" (Research Doctorate), "Corso di Specializzazione di secondo livello" (2nd level Specialization Course) and "Master Universitario di secondo livello" (2nd level University Master)

7.3.1 Politecnico di Milano Ambassador Program

The Degree Program adheres to the Ambassador programs in Green Technologies of the Politecnico di Milano, aimed at enhancing the skills related to "green" technologies in university courses.

The Ambassadors in Green Technologies are master's degree graduates with a high degree of systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, and attention to innovation for environmental sustainability and the decarbonization of the economy. The Ambassador profile in Green Technologies corresponds to a professional figure who possesses both advanced and specialized skills in the "green" field, and transversal skills, complementary to the specialized ones, which allow him to broaden his knowledge and adopt a systemic approach to design, to the management, innovation and study of the life cycle of “green” technologies.

The training program develops along the course of the Master's Degree (LM) and defines the minimum number of credits necessary to complete the training course of the chosen LM and, at the same time, to acquire the certification of Ambassador in Green Technologies.

As part of the training course, the student must acquire at least 30 ECTS in training activities functional to the profile of Ambassador in Green Technologies, chosen from Tables A and B below.

Table A indicates the compulsory specialized courses offered by the Study Course that provide skills in the "green" field.

Table B indicates the transversal courses: among these, at least 16 ECTS must be selected, of which 6 will contribute to the achievement of the actual 120 ECTS required for the degree (credits for the exams chosen for the 2nd year of the course), and at least the other 10 in excess will allow obtaining the certification of PoliMI Ambassador in Green Technologies.

The certification of Ambassador in Green Technologies will be reported in the Student's Diploma Supplement, and a specific electronic badge will be issued by the University.

Failure to take 10 extra credits and obtain at least 30 credits in training activities functional to the Ambassador profile in Green Technologies, will not preclude the student from obtaining the degree.

12. Internationalization

12. Internationalization

International Mobility

The Politecnico di Milano offers the students various opportunities to spend periods studying abroad. The credits (ECTS) acquired, subject to the approval of a Learning Agreement, are recognized as an integral part of the curriculum.

International mobility may be for study (a) or a Double Degree (b):

a) period of study at partner universities in EU countries (Erasmus) and non-EU countries (bilateral agreements);

b) Double Degree projects with EU and non-EU universities.

Aside from these opportunities, international mobility periods of variable lengths and natures are also possible, within international networks which the Politecnico is part of (Alliance4Tech, Athens, Idea League, UniTech).

The mobility for study generally lasts one term. It is potentially extendable, if allowed by the agreement with the partner university, for a further term, subject to authorization from the School Bodies (the Politecnico Teachers who promote the mobility for the partner university).

During the mobility for study, it is possible to acquire credits (ECTS) and/or carry out part of the thesis at the partner university. This opportunity for some universities is specified in the call and is coordinated by the proposing professor; where it is not specified, students may nominate a co-supervisor in the partner university, as long as the objectives and content are agreed with the supervisor, who must be a professor of the Politecnico di Milano. The final discussion of the thesis must take place at the Politecnico di Milano.

Students who take part in the Double Degree programme will obtain the Degree title from the Politecnico di Milano as well as from the partner university, after having acquired a total of 150 or 180 ECTS credits - according to the agreement - across the two universities. Following the discussion of the thesis - in the ways agreed with the partner university - students will be awarded with two degree with two separate marks.

The conversion of the grades of the exams passed abroad is carried out, whenever possible, through the procedure reported in the "ECTS user guide". For further information: https://op.europa.eu/it/publication-detail/-/publication/da7467e6-8450-11e5-b8b7-01aa75ed71a1/language-en. If this conversion is not possible, the validations will be processed "without grade".

Students who have carried out a period of international mobility for study abroad during their Laurea (Bachelor of Science) can apply again during their Laurea Magistrale (Master of Science).

The universities available under the specific agreements for each Programme are posted on the Degree Programme (Manifesto degli Studi) (https://www4.ceda.polimi.it/manifesti/manifesti/controller/extra/ScambiInternazionaliPublic.do?evn_default=EVENTO&aa=2019&k_cf=-2&k_corso_la=-2&ac_ins=0&k_indir=***&lang=EN&tipoCorso=ALL_TIPO_CORSO&semestre=ALL_SEMESTRI&c_accordo=-1and on the International Mobility Agreements Map (https://www.polimi.it/en/services-and-opportunities/experience-abroad/map-of-partner-universities-and-mobility-agreements/).

Students are requested to read this information before submitting their application.

International mobility is supported by both the Politecnico and the European Union with the payment of a scholarship, the amount of which varies from year to year.

In order to be able to participate in international mobility programmes, either for study or for Double Degrees, students must submit their applications via the call for International Mobility, posted periodically on the Politecnico website and on the AUIC School’s website

Students selected for mobility cannot carry out the exchange during the first term of their first year of their Master Programme.

The selected students must agree with the Professor of Politecnico, Promoter of the partnered university where they have been assigned, a Learning Agreement, i.e. a Study Plan equivalent to the teachings at the foreign university.

The Politecnico does not require a minimum number of ECTS credits, though this may depend on the partner university or on administrative restrictions to obtain a visa that may be necessary for non-EU countries.

When returning from the mobility for study, a maximum of xx credits of teachings obtained abroad can be validated.

For students with previous career, the total sum of the credits from previous career and from international mobilitry cannot overcome the number of xx credits.

For students who have not been selected for international mobility but who nonetheless wish to work on their thesis abroad, financial support is available thanks to the “Tesi all’estero” scholarship posted on the Politecnico di Milano website and the AUIC School’s website

https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students/tuition-fees-scholarships-and-financial-aid/scholarships-and-graduation-awards-non-dsu/scholarships-tesi-allestero/

International Mobility for Internships

The Erasmus+ for Traineeship Programme allows students to do an internship (which can replace the obligatory internship, or as an optional internship or post-graduate internship) in Europe of a minimum duration of 2 months thanks to a scholarship funded by the European Commission. https://cm.careerservice.polimi.it/career-program/erasmus-for-traineeship/

“FREE MOVER" mobility

Students who carry out an international mobility by organizing their own study period abroad are defined as "free movers".

This international mobility is not linked to an exchange program organized by Politecnico di Milano.

The freemover mobility must be approved, for the purpose of the recognition of credits and further constraints, by a referent of your course of study and will be recognized only the activities of:

- teaching attendance

- performance of thesis work

For information, students can contact the International Mobility Unit – Via Golgi 42, Milan

13. Quantitative data

The Didactic Observation Unit and the Evaluation Nucleus perform periodic analysis on the overall results analysing the teaching activities and the integration of graduates into the work world. Reports and studies are available on the website of the Politecnico di MIlano.

1.2    Procedures for Submission of Admission Applications for AUIC School Candidates

 

1.2.1                Programme and Previously Approved Study Plan Options

 

Candidates submitting an application for assessment must choose their Programme (CdS) together with their Previously Approved Study Plan (PSPA) options where required.

The University rules establish a maximum of three options for application for admission to Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes. It is therefore possible to indicate up to three Programme preferences.

For each Programme, it is possible to specify the available Previously Approved Study Plans in order of preference.

For AUIC School Programmes, the various Previously Approved Study Plan options within the same Programme are only counted once towards the maximum of three preferences that may be expressed.

 

Example:

1. Programme B: (non-AUIC programme)
2. Programme A: (AUIC programme) ITA Track
3. Programme A: (AUIC programme) ENG Track
4. Programme C: (AUIC programme) X Track
5. Programme C: (AUIC programme) Y Track

 

5 Programme-Previously Approved Study Plan options entered / 3 Programme preferences counted

 

Students may, within the established deadline, change/overwrite their choices up until the time the application is processed for assessment by the Commission.

 

1.2.2                Establishment of the Ranking List

The Commission, having assessed the candidate’s previous career, will admit him/her to one or more of the Previously Approved Study Plans indicated.

 

1.3    Assessment Parameters

1.3.1                Graduate Students from the Politecnico di Milano Automatically Entitled to Admission

There is no automatic entitlement to admission.

 

1.3.2                Students Admitted with an Assessment of Merit

Assessment is performed by the relevant Programme, which may award up to 100 points:

 

1. Order of the preferences expressed at the time of application for admission  Up to 15

2. Duration of your three-year degree career     Up to 15

3. Average at the end of the student’s 3-year course apportioned on a score of 40           Up to 40

4. Previous curriculum, i.e. Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) of origin  Up to 30

 

Students with a minimum score of 54 are eligible for admission.

At each deadline date, the top ranked students are accepted based on the number of planned admissions. Should there be eligible students with equal scores, their precedence in the ranking will take into account their weighted average until all available places have been filled.

 

1.4    Documents Required for Students Admitted with Assessment of Merit

1.4.1                Students of the Politecnico di Milano

No documents should be attached to the assessment application. The previous career will be supplied to the Assessment Commissions by the Registrar's Office.

 

1.4.2                Students from Other Universities

Self-certification of the degree held (graduate students only)

Self-certification of examinations passed for at least 145 credits. Other certifications of any university degrees held: Masters, PhDs, and Postgraduate Schools

The documentation may be self-certified in accordance with the statutory provisions governing Substitute Declarations (Dichiarazioni sostitutive) (see example). It must contain the exact titles of the examinations taken, the Disciplinary Scientific Sectors, the number of credits per scientific sector, the score and the examination recording date. The applicant must sign the documents, otherwise they are not legally binding and cannot be accepted by the Selection Committee.

 

1.5    Results and Publication of the Ranking List of Students Admitted

In accordance with the above points, on completion of the assessment, a merit ranking list will be created in order to establish the students admitted in relation to the planned number set for that semester.

The assessment results will be published online at https://www.auic.polimi.it/en/ in order of person code to facilitate consultation.

Under no circumstances will admission requests be accepted from students who have not submitted an assessment application in due time.

Any places that should become available will be used for Semester-Two enrolments and will not be passed down the ranking list.

 

Graduating students can enrol with reserve by following the instructions published on the website:

https://www.auic.polimi.it/en/msc-admissions

 

1.6    Curricular Integrations

If the outcome of the assessment for admission corresponds to "Preference positively evaluated with curricular supplements", admission is subject to the achievement by the student (within the academic year to which the application refers) of the CFU related to the additions curricula indicated by the Commissions; this means that the student will have to take the additional exams before they can enroll.

It will therefore be necessary to register for the individual courses ('Single courses to fill the curricular integrations') through the application in which the outcome of the application for evaluation is published.

Once the additions have been completed, the candidate must resubmit an application for admission in the time frame established for the semester or year following his / her first candidature. In the absence of the online application, it will not be possible to proceed with registration.

The dedicated procedures are available at http://www.poliorientami.polimi.it/

 

1.7    Examination Validation

Following enrolment on one of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes, examinations taken during the previous career (not used as required credits) may be assessed and recognised as validation or attendance validation, if compatible with the course catalogue of the Laurea Magistrale Programme enrolled upon.

Validations will be indicated in the career assessment and automatically uploaded to the Study Plan.

2       Admission to the Programme - Students with Foreign Degrees

International students from foreign universities are selected according to the times and methods indicated at http://www.polinternational.polimi.it/

As of the Academic Year 2021/2022, the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes in the School of Architecture, Urban Planning and Construction Engineering will only accept new admissions of students with non-Italian qualifications in the first semester (September). 

The School will consider requests for admission deferment to the second semester (defer). Obtaining a deferment is subject to the availability of planned places. Students may apply for deferment from June to August.

Students will be informed of the outcome of their request at the beginning of October 2022:  

• Students who have been granted the deferment will be asked to confirm it by paying the non-refundable administrative fee of €172.20 by a provided deadline.
• Students who have not been granted the deferment may reapply for the following academic year. 

 

3       Transfers and Changes

Transfer from other Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes or other universities is only permitted through submission of an admission application.

Transferred students’ previous examinations may be validated if deemed compatible with the course catalogue of the degree programme applied for.

As per University regulations, students transferred from other universities are required to take examinations at the Politecnico di Milano for at least 60 credits, plus the traineeship and final test.

 

Enrolment on a Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) is not a guarantee of transfer without educational debits. The Committee will always take into account the first-level Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) gained, applying current regulations.

Transfer to the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) in Building Systems Engineering is not permitted for candidates enrolled at Italian universities on single-cycle Laurea Magistrale Programmes. Students from foreign universities in countries with educational systems that do not include Laurea Triennale (equivalent to three-year Bachelor’s Degree) Programmes must guarantee enrolment on the 4th year of the programme, passing of examinations worth at least 180 ECTS credits and meeting of the minimum curricular requirements for category L-23.

 

4       Deadlines for First-Year Enrolment Administrative Procedures

Deadlines for the new academic year will be published on the School’s and University’s website.

 

5       Study Plan

Students are required, under their own responsibility, to submit their individual Study Plan (www.polimi.it Online Services, Study Plan Submission). 

The study plan submitted in September, according to the deadlines set by the School, must include the teachings for the entire academic year.

The Plan is taken by the School as a supporting document for all intents and purposes. Its compilation also attests to the compliance of the choices made by the student with the rules specified by law and the provisions of the Programme Rules.

The Study Plan for the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) in Building Systems Engineering consists of 120 ECTS, to be included in the Plan as required credits, subdivided as follows:

-              single-subject or integrated courses

-              traineeship

-              final test

The minimum number of credits for which students may enrol each year is 30 (15 for entry in March). Simultaneous enrolment on courses for a maximum of 80 credits per year is permitted.

Please note: It is advisable to always save and print the Study Plan submitted.

Plan alteration requests will not be accepted. Submission of the Study Plan is definitive and must be performed within the deadlines and according to the procedures established by the School. When choosing courses, the teaching timetable must be consulted in advance in order to avoid timetable clashes.

 

5.1    Deadlines for Annual Study Plan Submission

Study Plan submission is performed through Online Services (www.polimi.it/servizionline > Customized Services

> Career Data > Study Plan Submission), exclusively during the specific periods established by the academic calendar:

 

 

 

5.2    Half-year Change of Study Plan

During a specific window which will be published on the academic calendar , it will be possible to change the Study Plan submitted during the academic year in progress.

The following operations will be possible for to courses offered in Semester II: add or remove optional and compulsory courses, final test and traineeship.

The transition from a PSPA (Preventively Approved Study Plan) to another within the course of study involves the same procedures as for a transfer from other Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) course.

5.3    Additional Payment

Through resolution of the Board of Governors, an additional payment of 100.00 euros is applicable for failure to submit the Study Plan within the deadlines established by the academic calendar.

The payment will be required with the second instalment.

 

5.4    Attendance

Once included in the study plan, teachings are listed as acquired attendance in the following years, giving the possibility to take the examination with the original professor as long as the latter remains active. If the student wishes to attend the teaching again, when filling the study plan for the following academic year (September), they can delete the previously acquired attendance and insert the same teachings (according to the active educational offer) as new attendance.

 

5.5    Optional courses

The Study Plans are automatically approved if the optional courses (12 CFU) are chosen among those offered by the Study Programs belonging to the LM-24 Master Degree, as well as those included in the Course of Ingegneria dei Sistemi Edilizi

 

5.6    Courses as Extra

It is possible to add courses/educational activities to the Study Plan as extras. These courses will not count towards the overall credits required for admission to the final test and will not be used in calculation of the score average.

It is possible to change the status of a course from required to extra, and vice versa, during the annual Study Plan submission period.

For all regulations, reference should be made to the specific University guide.

 

5.6.1 Specifications for Programmes belonging to Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) Category L- 23 - Building Science and Technology

In addition to the rules established by the University, students enrolled on Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) Programmes in:

Engineering and Techniques for Building and Architecture (Ingegneria e Tecniche per l'Edilizia e l'Architettura)

Building Engineering (Ingegneria dell’Edilizia)

may include in the A.Y. 2021/22, as extra, Politecnico di Milano Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme courses in:

Building and Architectural Engineering

Building Systems Engineering (Ingegneria dei Sistemi Edilizi) Management of Built Environment (Gestione del Costruito)

for a maximum of 32 ECTS.

Following enrolment on one of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes listed above, these examinations will be assessed and recognised, if deemed eligible, as validation or attendance validation.

 

 

5.7    Course Priorities

The University, upon resolution of the Academic Senate, has established the following priority types:

 

 

Suggested priority           Does not establish any formal restriction. Aims to provide students with useful information on the sequence of courses but does not affect the composition of the Study Plan or examination recording.

Study Plan composition priorityEstablishes a restriction which must be observed when choosing courses upon submission of the Study Plan. It is not possible for course ‘B’ to be included in the Study Plan if course ‘A’ (even if not passed) has not been included. This does not affect examination recording.

Examination recording priority  Establishes a restriction which must be observed both during Study Plan compilation and during 'positive' examination recording (passing of the course). It is not possible for ‘B’ to be recorded if ‘A’ has not been recorded.

 

 

The Building Systems Engineering Programme does not impose strict constraints. The optimal sequence to be followed for the Programme is the one suggested by the course sequence established in the Degree Programme.

 

6       Traineeship

 

Students can carry out their traineeship from the first semester of the first year or at a later time, provided that it has been inserted in the Study Plan during the submission and change periods.

The School cooperates with professional associations, public administrations, local authorities and companies to

organise external traineeship activities in order to ensure that students have the opportunity to earn the credits required by the educational system.

In addition, students may carry out a Practical Activity (traineeship) within the Departments of the Politecnico di Milano.

The rules on traineeship duration are established by the Programmes, in accordance with the directives of the School. All further information is available at the Traineeship Office of the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering and in the dedicated section of the School’s Website https://www.auic.polimi.it/en/students/students-university-career/internships

 

The University also organises Erasmus scholarships for traineeships abroad. For further information: http://www.polimi.it/it/studenti/esperienze-allestero/

 

7       Examinations

7.1    Procedures

The uniformity of procedures for checking of learning across all sections of the same course and planning of these procedures is ensured through appropriate forms of coordination, in line with the directives of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme.

At the start of the academic year, each Professor will communicate the procedures for checking of learning, the content of the examination and the assessment criteria.

For each course (individual courses or studios) there are three exam sessions. Each exam session involves one or more exam session date as established by the School’s academic calendar.

Students may only participate in the exam sessions if duly registered, using the dedicated ‘online services’ function, for the examination date. Failure to register makes it absolutely impossible to take the test and record a score in the career.

Graduating students must observe the specific deadlines established by the academic calendar in order to permit completion, within the established deadlines, of the procedures for registration for the degree exam session.

 

 

8 Final Test

 

The Final Test of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) in Building Systems Engineering consists of presentation and discussion of a final work (graduation work).

Detailed information can be found in the AUIC School’s Rules on the Final Test for the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) and Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) and in the Additional Regulations for the Laurea Magistrale in Building Systems Engineering, both available at: www.auic.polimi.it/en/students/students-university-career/master-graduation-exams
