Green Technologies
The Master programme in Architecture and Urban Design (AUD) takes part in Politecnico di Milano’s Ambassador in Green Technologies programme, aimed at strengthening the skills related to Green Technologies in higher education.
The Ambassador in Green Technologies is a MSc graduate with forefront systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, and specific aptitude to innovation in the fields of environmental sustainability and decarbonisation of the economy. The Ambassador in Green Technologies profile corresponds to a professional figure with both advanced, specialized skills in the green sector, and transversal skills, which allow graduates to broaden their knowledge in the field of Green Technologies and to adopt a systemic approach to the design, management, innovation, and study of the life cycle of green technologies.
The training programme is articulated within the MSc educational path, and sets at 130 credits (thus at least extra 10 credits in addition to the standard MSc requirements) the minimum number of credits needed to complete the selected MSc and, at the same time, to qualify for the certification of Ambassador in Green Technologies.
As part of the educational training, students must acquire at least 30 credits in courses related to the Ambassador in Green Technologies profile, which have to be chosen among those proposed in Tables A and B shown below.
Table A indicates specialized courses offered by the Master programme in Architecture and Urban Design (AUD) and providing core skills in “green technologies”.
Table B indicates transversal courses offered across different programmes. At least 20 credits must be selected from the table: out of these, 8 will count against the 120 credits required for graduation (credits for the elective course in year 2 of the program), while the other 12 (at least) will be extra credits. The latter will entitle students to be awarded the PoliMI Ambassador Green Technologies badge.
The Ambassador in Green Technologies certification will be reported in the Student’s Diploma Supplement and an electronic badge will be issued by Politecnico di Milano.
Students who will not obtain the required extra 10 credits and the 30 credits in training activities functional to the Ambassador in Green Technologies profile will not be precluded from obtaining a MSc degree.

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 marks of the exams sat abroad are validated in the ways posted on the AUIC School’s website which involve a weighted score conversion tool.
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 University Education Observatory and the University Evaluation Nucleus, with the support of faculty educational observers, carry out periodic analyses of the overall results and qualitative standards on study programmes monitoring educational activities and the ability of graduates to find work. Reports and studies are available on Politecnico di Milano's website.

1 Admission to the Programme - Students with Italian Degrees
All candidates for admission to Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes at the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering are required to submit an application for career assessment using the specific function available on the University website, in the Online Services section (www.polimi.it/servizionline).
1.1 Programme Requirements and Specifications
The requirements are those previously described in paragraph 6.1 of the Educational Rules.
General University information on admission and enrolment PROCEDURES is available on the University website:
http://www.poliorientami.polimi.it/
1.2 Procedures for Submission of Admission Applications for AUIC School Candidates
1.2.1 Programme and Previously Approved Study Plan Options
The 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:
- Programme B: (non-AUIC programme)
- Programme A: (AUIC programme) ITA Track
- Programme A: (AUIC programme) ENG Track
- Programme C: (AUIC programme) X Track
- 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 for the Programme/Previously Approved Study Plan
For each Programme, students may indicate their Previously Approved Study Plan choices in order of preference (differentiated by Italian or English language, campus or curriculum). For the admission ranking list, only the first Previously Approved Study Plan choice indicated is taken into account.
PSPA (track) allocation (CdS LM-4)
If the student is not admittted to the PSPA (track) expressed as first choice because of unavailability of places, he/she will be considered for the second choice, with regard to the position in the ranking.
Merit based ranking
At the end of the evaluation sessions, a merit based ranking will be published, in order to the determine the number of admitted students in relation to the places available.
In order to guarantee the foreseen number of places, a student that has been positively evaluated for admission (green check) might not be able to enroll. Enrolment will be enabled to students who appear in the merit based ranking as “admitted to enrolment”.
The ranking reporting the indication of the admitted students will be published at the end of the evaluation session at the page: http://www.auic.polimi.it/en/
1.3 Assessment Parameters
1.3.1 Graduate Students from the Politecnico di Milano Automatically Entitled to Admission
The following are automatically entitled to admission to their first-choice Programme and precede all other candidates in the ranking list:

Admission to Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programmes of category LM-4 is not permitted for graduate students in categories L-21 and L-23 (with the exception of graduate students in Architecture and Building Production from the Politecnico di Milano, admitted with educational debits), even with a fulfilled N/V parameter, or from other non-compliant degree categories.
*The N and V parameters (number of ECTS and weighted average) required can be found in the student’s Study Plan. These may vary depending on the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme applied for.
1.3.2 Students Admitted with Assessment of Merit
Students not automatically entitled to admission, external students and students transferred from another Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme are subject to assessment of merit.
This assessment is performed by the relevant Programme, which may award up to 150 points:
- up to 110 points = assessment of the educational curriculum (weighted average of examination scores on a basis of at least 145 credits earned). The average of the examination scores recorded in the Plan at the time of assessment will be considered valid;
- up to 20 points = assessment of a portfolio of work including text and iconographic material, which will be assessed according to the criteria of content originality and coherence, formal quality, discursive and graphic ability and linguistic expression;
- up to10 points = assessment of experiences of traineeship or extra-curricular work fully documented, certified by the company, relevant and significant to the training of an architect and not used to validate required credits during the previous career.The starting/end date of each internship experience/extracurricular activity must be specified;
- up to10 points = assessment of other qualifications (certified) in research or extra-curricular training thoroughly documented, relevant and significant to the training of an architect and not used to validate required credits during the previous career.
Students required to submit a portfolio are eligible for admission with a minimum score of 100. At each deadline date, the top ranked students are accepted according to the planned number of admissions for that semester. 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 Automatically Entitled to Admission
All students automatically entitled to admission must submit an admission application. Assessment is based solely on the educational curriculum (Study Plan) for identification of any examination or attendance validation requirements.
No documents should be attached to the career assessment application.

Students who have expressed more than one CdS/PSPA option and who are eligible for the ranking list will be selected, only once, based on their first available option in the ranking.
Students eligible in the ranking can enroll and present their study plan in the period indicated in the academic calender.
1.7 Examination Validation
The deliberation n. 14779 23/03/2015 of the Academic Senate, establishes that in case of abbreviation of a study career, it is necessary to achieve at least 60 ECTS credits at Politecnico di Milano, in order to achieve a degree at this University: the 60 ECTS credits include curricular subjects, except for the internship and final thesis, which must be carried out in addition to the 60 ECTS credits. The School establishes that credits which can be validated from a previous career are only those belonging to a Master of Science career carried out in a country of the European Union.
Validated credits will automatically appear in the student’s study plan.
2 Admission to the Programme - Students with Foreign Degrees
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 2022.
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
Requests for transfers and changes are subject to submission of an application in accordance with these Rules, and applicants must meet the same requirements and observe the same deadlines established for submission of assessment and enrolment applications, as described in the above paragraphs.
No transfers or changes are possible during Semester Two.
4 Deadlines for First-Year Enrolment Administrative Procedures
The calendar reporting the deadlines for study plan presentation, exam sessions and degree sessions is published on the University’s website:https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students/calendar-and-deadlines/
It is recommended to consult the notices published periodically on the School’s website:
5 Study Plan
Students are required, under their own responsibility, to submit their individual Study Plan.
The studies plan submitted in September must contain 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) Programme in Architecture and Urban Design consists of 120 ECTS, to be included in the Plan as required credits, subdivided as follows:
- single-subject or integrated courses
- studios
- elective activities
- traineeship
- final test
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:
https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students/calendar-and-deadlines/
5.2 Half-year Change of Study Plan
According to the deadlines published in the academic calendarit will be possible to change the Study Plan submitted during the academic year in progress.
Half-year change of Study Plan is optional. Students not wishing to make any alterations do not need to change the Study Plan.
It is possible to change only courses included in the current academic year. It is not possible to add or deselect first-semester courses. Students must deselect the second-semester courses they wish to change.
It will therefore be possible to add or remove, within the second semester only, optional and compulsory courses not subject to allocation of merit, final test and traineeship.
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.
5.4.1 Studios
Attendance of at least 70% of the Studio hours is compulsory. The attendance achieved does not expire but the examination must be taken within the three sessions of the academic year following the one in which attendance takes place. Should this time expire, the Studio must be entirely re-attended.
Students are due to register to and attend Digi Skills activity according to the deadlines set by the School.
5.4.2 Digi Skills
Digi Skills activities are worth 4 credits and will be validated only if the student has attended 70%of the lessons and has passed the examinations foreseen by the professor.
5.5 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.
6 Allocations
6.1 Studios
The School defines the number of students in each studio’s section. The School reserves the right to change this number if it is helpful for teaching.
Upon submission of the Study Plan, students must choose a number of Studio options equal to the number of sections available.
Students will be allocated based on merit, taking into account the parameters indicated in the following table:
Order by decreasing values of parameter G
n
G=Σ Vi •Ci
i=l
where Vi is the score obtained in the i-th examination, Ci is the number of credits corresponding to the i-th examination, and n is the number of examinations taken.
First year: the parameter G will be calculated based on the career followed at deadline of request of admission.
Second year: the parameter G will be calculated based on the career followed during the summer session.
For all students returning from Erasmus, it will not be possible to take the scores into account unless previously validated on the Plan prior to allocation.
Any admitted students who, for whatever reason, delay enrolment beyond the established deadlines will be automatically placed in the available sections.
Students are not permitted to attend studios or courses not included in the Plan. Under no circumstances may assessments relating to activities not included in the Study Plan, or not attended in accordance with the section allocations, be recognised or validated.
6.2 Single-subject and Integrated Courses
The School defines the number of students who may enrol in each teaching. The School reserves the right to change this number if it is helpful for teaching.
In sections in which there are elective courses or various sections of the same single-subject or integrated course, students must express their preferences as set out by the online system and will be allocated places according to merit.
6.3 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 priority
Establishes 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 Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme in Architecture and Urban Design observes the progression of teachings as determined by the programme of studies.
7 Elective Activities
In the second year of their educational path, students are required to include optional courses designed to further explore and complete the specific topics of the individual curricula. The course catalogue of the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering offers numerous courses termed ‘optional’ which serve to complete the elective course ECTS.
As an alternative, the School recognises workshops and the option of participating, in the second year of enrolment, in the intensive international programme: MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop.
7.1 Optional Courses
The School defines the number of students who may enrol in each programme. The School reserves the right to change this number if it is helpful for teaching.
When completing their study plan, students may include a number of optional courses depending on the catalogue contained in the Degree Programme.
The list of courses offered and their relative schedules may be consulted in the Degree Programme.
Closed number subject
In order to guarantee and preserve the quality of teaching, a maximum number of eligible participants is set as shown in the table below:

7.2 MIAW
The School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering offers for students of the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) in Architectural Design and the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) in Architecture and Urban Design, Building Architecture, Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors, Landscape Architecture Land Landscape Heritage, Urban Planning and Policy Design, an intensive international programme: MIAW- the Milan International Architecture Workshop, which delivers 4 ECTS replacing the 4 ECTS of the elective activities chosen by the students.
7.2.1 How to attend and register for the MIAW
When filling in the study plan, the student may choose between the various international teachers, expressing their preferences in terms of sections, and will be allocated on the basis of merit according to the weighted average of the exams sat by the beginning of the summer session.
The number of places available for students of Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science), and Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science)will be decided from year to year. Incoming international mobility students cannot participate in MIAW.In case of vacancy, the available places may be assigned.
Students who are not admitted will be officially assigned a generic workshop code (see specifications dedicated to workshops), which will later be rectifiable during the termly period of modification of the study plan.
Attendance at the MIAW is compulsory and, unlike the other workshops, it involves a final assessment; at the end of the course, students will need to register for a date for an exam in order to obtain their mark as part of their academic career.
After allocation, it will not be possible to remove the teaching from the study plan or to replace it with another course. If students do not attend, the MIAW will have to be added as an additional course and will contribute to the payment of the second instalment of tuition fees.
Students in the first year (Master of Science) or second year (Bachelor) of their course may bring forward the MIAW activity only if they have a full study plan with all the first-year (Master of Science) or second-year (Bachelor) teaching, as per the general rules for filling in the study plan.
7.3 Workshops
Workshop activities are of two types:
- workshops recognized as optional courses or excess course;
- workshops recognized as traineeship.
In relation to degree sessions, workshops can be accredited only if they end at least a month before graduation day Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) students cannot request the accreditation of a workshop attended while being enrolled in a Laurea Triennale (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme; if the workshop has been carried out as an “excess course” during the Laurea Triennale (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme, it cannot be validated within the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme.
Educational credits earned from workshops may only be recognized if authorized in advance by the School Board, following a reasoned and supported programme proposal by a Professor (of the School or the Politecnico di Milano) coordinating the activities.
A list of the workshops accredited by the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering is available in the dedicated section of the School’s website and updated several times during the year: https://www.auic.polimi.it/en/workshop
In order to participate in workshops, students must follow the procedures indicated in each workshop summary sheet and refer to the relevant Professors indicated by the Professor responsible.
Students who have attended or wish to attend a workshop must observe the following procedures:
- students enrolled starting from the 2016/17 academic year, must have entered the “Workshop” line when completing the study plan.
- students enrolled in academic years prior to 2016/17, during Study Plan compilation, they may have entered the “Workshop” line or, alternatively, an optional course. Students may replace the optional course with attendance of a workshop. In this case, the appropriate Offices will do the change of line in the Plan during recording of credits.
The workshop validation must be requested, at least one month before the graduation date, exclusively by using the trouble ticketing system in the “PETITIONS” section available https://www.auic.polimi.it/it/contatti/trouble-ticketing-laurea-magistrale , specifying in the text of the message if requested validation is for WORKSHOP or MANDATORY INTERNSHIP (only if this option is provided in the workshop summary sheet) and attaching the certificate of participation.
For the Architecture and Urban Design Programme, recognition of a maximum of 4 ECTS earned from participation in workshops is permitted (the MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop intensive programme is considered a workshop).
8 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.
For the workshops, that can be validate as equivalent to internship activities (6 ECTS credits), please check the previous point.
The rules on traineeship duration will be 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/studenti/translate-to-english-carriera-studenti/internships
The University also organises Erasmus scholarships for traineeships abroad. For further information: https://cm.careerservice.polimi.it/en/
9 Examinations
9.1 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, each of which students may use.
Students may only participate in the exam sessions if duly registered within the deadlines provided through the Online Services. At the end of the exam registration procedure, the system issues a receipt, to be saved and stored, that confirms the enrollment.
Students can register to an exam only if:
- they paid all university tuition fees
- that course is included in their Study Plan
- they passed all propaedeutic exams related to the one to which they want to be registered
- they attended the course, in case the attendance is compulsory
Students may also register after the deadline set by the School. In fact, they may register up until midnight of the actual exam date. In this case, the registration will be accepted¿as conditional, and it will be up to the teacher’s unappealable decision whether or the student not may be admitted to the exam in question.
10 Final Test and Thesis Seminar
Thesis candidates, after having applied for the Final Test, obtain the credits of the Thesis Seminar (4CFU) when their supervisor approves the admission in the Final Test.
The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme in Architecture and Urban Design concludes with a Final Test involving presentation and discussion of the graduation work.
For all information on the Final Test, reference should be made to the specific Rules published on the School’s website:
