2. General presentation of the study programme

The Study Programme in Architecture Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors is arranged in two Study Tracks (PSPA), one in Italian (ACI) and one in English (BEI), that provide advanced training in the field of Architectural Design with the aim to graduate practitioners able to change and to transform the built environment in its physical, architectural and landscape elements, empowering architectural resilience and affordance. 

 

The focus is on the modification and the regeneration of urban fabric, as well as of fragile territories, on interventions of building extensions and transformation, restoration and enhancement. The programme offers the possibility to characterize the study plan according to personal interests by choosing, besides the compulsory courses, a large number of elective thematic Design Studios. 

The Study Programme of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme in “Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors”  is arranged in two Study Tracks (PSPA), one in Italian (ACI) and one in English (BEI), that provide advanced training in the field of Architectural Design with the aim to graduate practitioners able to change and to transform the built environment in its physical, architectural and landscape elements, empowering architectural resilience and affordance. The focus is on the modification and the regeneration of urban fabric, as well as of fragile territories, on interventions of building extensions and transformation, restoration and enhancement. The programme offers the possibility to characterize the study plan according to personal interests by choosing, besides the compulsory courses, a large number of elective thematic Design Studios. 

Particular attention is given to research on new contemporary living styles, understood as a complex and transversal phenomenon, ranging from residence to workplace, from culture to leisure time, from collective services to widely adopted museum systems, verified at various intervention levels up to the definition of interior space and construction details.

The Programmes provides a correct balance of theory, practice and application, integrating design with the necessary environmental, economic and social sustainability and feasibility requirements.

The training objectives are aimed to foster the acquisition of knowledge, skills and expertise necessary for an architect to deal with present and future challenges of the project, for informed and sustainable transformation and management of the built environment, with particular attention to the problems of weak territories.

The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme presents a common starting point, which complies with EU requirements regarding the Architect's training and recognition of the qualification’s validity.

Specifically, the first year includes three specialized theoretical courses - on construction technique, physical technique and history of contemporary architecture, which are required to provide theoretical and technical know-how that will be immediately applied to experimental design activities - and four Design Studios offering the student an opportunity to try the various specialized skills of an architect's professional activity, such as architectural and urban design; restoration project; interior design and activities aimed at technological design and architectural construction. In addition, a dedicated programme to acquire advanced knowledge of Computational Design runs throughout the two-year period.

The second year includes an advanced design experience, represented by a thematic studio, as well as an integrated urban planning course that allows for in-depth studies related to urban issues. Two compulsory monographic courses, one referring to contemporary architectural design and one to the economic evaluation of projects, complete the training course. The last semester is not occupied by courses, except for a brief but intense design experience carried out within an intensive design laboratory: the so-called 4-credit MInDS (Milan International Design Studio). This last semester must also be dedicated to the preparation of the degree thesis and to an experience in the world of work through a compulsory internship. The training course is enriched by the choice of optional courses for a total of 4 credits, to be selected from the wide and articulated offer of the School.

The Study Programme is entirely delivered in Italian and in English in the relative Previously Approved Study Plans (PSPA).

3. Learning objectives

From landscape to single building, today the architect works in highly defined, complex and differently built environments. This condition, far from being a limit, has elements of great interest, which can be easily transferred to an adequate and up-to-date Study Programme. Effective enhancement of building heritage, landscape and environment, intended as resources, in contrast with the logic of degradation and waste, both material and cultural, and at the same time aware of the needs imposed by the general and specific processes of change, is the basis of every possible sustainable development. From this point of view, the new project necessarily refers to contextual conditions, always to be compared, from building to landscape level, with the various environmental systems, with different urban and settlement morphologies, with actual construction data, from design of details to resolution of structural, installation and infrastructural problems.

Graduates of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme “Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors” can further develop general knowledge and understanding of the main architectural design issues acquired in the first Laurea cycle (equivalent to Bachelor of Science), with specific focus on issues about modification and regeneration of consolidated urban and settlement fabric.

Within an Italian and European architectural tradition, Design Studios are the privileged place for teaching, and architectural design is the tool for learning, research and experimentation.

Theoretical courses can be considered an integration of the design experience, together with the optional courses that can be selected within a wide and articulated offer, even with possible in-depth study of different disciplines.

An additional educational opportunity comes from the many thematic workshops that, at different stages of the year, offer intensive design experiences focused on specific topics.

Through the repetition of practical-application experiences, the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme provides design expertise and skills related to:

- the definition of relations between built and social, environmental and economic aspects, to various levels of intervention, in order to guarantee the quality of transformation processes, quality of living and improvements in the quality of community life, according to local needs and different contexts;

- an appropriate use of resources to ensure development of an ecologically balanced and sustainable built environment, with a responsible design approach to natural, cultural and landscape heritage;

- control of formal and technological, environmental and economic aspects through a design approach that focuses on the realization dimension of buildings and spaces, and on process management, during the various stages of the life cycle and of the building process (design, construction, use and disposal) and on various intervention levels;

-  design to develop and coordinate complex and different interventions related to contexts, landscapes and contemporary living styles in a consolidated urban and settlement fabric;

- structural, technological and environmental design, with in-depth study of innovative processes, methodologies and executive design tools, in the context of complex relations needed, during project design, to fulfil static, functional, environmental and energy requirements;

- interior architecture, with particular reference to museum design and widely adopted museum systems, to the project enhancing both built and environmental heritage through requalification, reuse and recovery plans, as well as to installation and design of domestic and public space;

- the conservation project focused on themes of recovery and requalification of the architectural heritage, on the scale of both complex aggregates and of the individual historic building.

7.3.1 Organization of learning activities, attendance and assessment procedures

Learning activities are organized in Single Subject and Integrated Course Programmes and Laboratories. Each one has a number of credits as shown in the Degree Programme.

-          Single Subject Courses can provide procedures of in-course evaluation and end with an exam.

-          Integrated Courses can provide in-course tests, and are organized according to modules provided by different professors who are part of a single examination board. Each Integrated Course has a single exam for the student.

-          There are Studio based courses coordinated by professors responsible for the integrated modules in the Studio based course. Studio based course attendance is compulsory for at least 70% of the whole number of hours. Attendance is verified by all professors in charge of the Studio based course, based on their training organization criteria. Studio based course activities end with an examination carried out by the Board made up of all professors in charge.

The University has decided that a university educational credit (ECTS) corresponds to 25 hours of student work, including teacher-led learning activities and individual study.

 

7.3.2 Teaching methods

The teaching methods adopted to ensure the cultural and professional education of students consist of lectures, exercises, Studio based course activities (computer, experimental and design activities), seminars, study visits, internship activities. In some cases, teaching offers innovative learning modules.

Teaching activities include learning tests, Tutoring and Orientation activities.

 

7.3.3 POLIMI Ambassador

Green Technologies

The Master programme in Architecture Built Environment Interiors 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 toadopta 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 chosenamong those proposed in Tables A and B shown below.

Table A indicates compulsory specialized courses offered by the Master programme in Architecture Built environment Interiors and providing core skills in “green technologies”.

Table B indicates transversal courses offered across different programmes. At least 18 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 10 (at least) will be extra credits. The latter will entitle students to be awarded the PoliMI Ambassador Green Technologies badge.

Students, who access the Ambassador in Green Technologies programme, in compliance with the normal procedures for identifying the topic and the thesis supervisor required for the LM in Architecture Built environment Interiors, may decide to develop the final thesis in line with the contents of the Ambassador in Green Technologies programme, in agreement with their thesis supervisor.

The Ambassador in Green Technologies certification will be reported in the Student’sDiploma Supplement and an electronic badge will be issued by Politecnico di Milano.

Studentswho 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.

Inclusivity Design

The di Study Course in Architecture-Built Environment-Interiors adheres to the Ambassador in Inclusivity Design program of the Politecnico di Milano, aimed at enhancing the skills related to the design of spaces and artifacts based on inclusivity strategies.
Ambassadors in Inclusivity Design are master's degree graduates with a high degree of systemic skills and interdisciplinary vision, capable of designing contexts, spaces, artifacts, infrastructures, technologies, products, and inclusive services for fragile subjects, the elderly, women, children, adolescents and the disabled, enhancing a sense of fairness. These are professional figures characterized by a particular awareness of the social responsibility of the design action with specific reference to the transformation processes of cities (from homes to workplaces, from public spaces to infrastructures) and the relationship with ecosystems, cultural structures, social and economic.
The training program is developed along the course of the Master's Degree (LM). It defines the minimum number of credits necessary to complete the training course of the chosen LM and, simultaneously, to acquire the certification of Ambassador in Inclusivity Design.
As part of the training course, the student must acquire at least 30 ECTS in training activities functional to the profile of Ambassador in Inclusivity Design, chosen from Tables A and B below.
Table A indicates the compulsory specialized courses offered by the Study Course in Architecture-Built Environment-Interiors that provide skills in the "inclusivity design" field.
Table B indicates the transversal courses: among these, at least 18 ECTS must be selected. Of which eight 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 ten supernumeraries will allow to obtain the certification of PoliMI Ambassador in Inclusivity Design.
Students who access the Ambassador in Inclusivity Design training course, in compliance with the standard procedures for identifying the topic and the thesis supervisor required for the Master in Architecture-Built Environment-Interiors, may decide to develop the final thesis in line with the training contents of the course training Ambassador in Inclusivity Design, in agreement with their thesis supervisor.
The Ambassador in Inclusivity Design certification will be reported in the Student's Diploma Supplement, and a specific electronic badge will be issued by the University.

12. Internationalization

I

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).

International mobility: polimi

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

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 36 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 36 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

Scholarships Tesi all'estero: polimi

 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

Free Movers: polimi

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.

Neither transfers nor changes are allowed during Semester Two.

 

4      Deadlines for First-Year Enrolment Administrative Procedures

Deadlines of all administrative procedures will be published in the academic calendar and on the website.

5     Study Plan

Students are required, under their own responsibility, to submit their individual Study Plan. 

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

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

The Study Plan for the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme in “Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors” consists of 120 ECTS, to be included in the Plan as required credits, subdivided as follows:

-          single-subject or integrated courses

-          design studios

-          elective activities

-          traineeship

-          final test

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

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

 

5.1      Deadlines for Annual Study Plan Submission

Study Plan’s are submitted through Online Services (www.polimi.it/servizionline > Customized Services > Career Data > Study Plan Submission), only during the specific periods established by the academic calendar.

 

5.2      Half-year Change of Study Plan

The Study Plan submitted during the academic year in progress may be changed in a dedicated window in the academic calendar.

Half-year change of Study Plan is optional. Students who do not wish to make any alterations do not need to change the Study Plan.

Only courses included in the current academic year may be changed. First semester courses may neither be added nor removed. Students must deselect the second semester courses they wish to change.

Optional and compulsory courses not subjected to allocation of merit, final test and traineeship may, therefore, be either added or removed only within the second semester.

 

5.3      Additional Payment

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

Payment will be requested 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 Design Studios

Attendance of at least 70% of Design 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 Design Studio must be entirely re-attended and re-entered in the Study Plan.

5.4.2 Digi Skills 

Students are required to register to and attend the Digi Skills activity according to the schedule defined by the School.

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 established by the professor. At the end of the course, students will need to register for a date for an exam in order to obtain their credits as part of their academic career.

5.5      Courses as additional activities

Courses/educational activities included in the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) may be included in the Study Plan as additions. These courses will not count towards the overall credits required for admission to the final test, and will not be used to calculate the score average.

The status of a course may be changed from required to additional, and vice versa, during the annual Study Plan submission period.

For all regulations, refer to the dedicated University guide.

 

6     Allocations

6.1      Studios

Upon submission of the Study Plan, students are required to choose a number of Design Studio options equal to the number of sections available.

The allocation is based on merits, according to rules established by the School, and no reallocation will be allowed.

Incoming Erasmus students (from foreign universities) will be able to attend the Thesis Studio based course only if they are developing their thesis in co-tutorship with professors of the Politecnico.

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.

Scores will not be considered for students returning from an Erasmus period, unless they were previously validated in 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 Studio based activity 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 section allocations, be either recognised or validated.

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.

6.2   Single subject and Integrated Courses

In sections offering either 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, based on criteria defined in the above point. 

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.

6.3      Course Priorities

 

The University has established the following priority types, as decreed by the Academic Senate:

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 complied with when choosing courses upon submission of the Study Plan. Course ‘B’ cannot 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 complied with both during Study Plan compilation and during 'positive' examination recording (passing of the course). ‘B’ cannot be recorded, if ‘A’ has not been recorded.

 

The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme in “Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors”, besides complying with the sequence of courses, as established by the Degree Programme, does not envisage other constraints.

 

7     Elective Activities

The student’s Study Programme for the second year must include optional courses aimed at studying in detail and completing the speci¿c themes of the individual curricula.

Of these courses, 4 credits are free, but the other 4 credits must be taken within similar disciplines or by attending the MINDS (Milan International Design Studio).

 

 

8 CREDITS free choice activities

7.1     MInDS-Milano International Design Studio

MInDS Design Studios (4 ECTS) – intensive design studios - are contained in the Programme’s elective courses, and are considered equivalent to courses belonging to the similar disciplines

; hence, they are useful to close the Study Plan as regards the need to acquire 4 ECTS credits of similar disciplines.

MInDS Design Studios are only open to second year students of the two active PSPAs in the Programme, ACI and BEI, and are held by international Visiting Professors.

MInDS Design Studios have a final examination, and are held during the first three weeks of the second semester. As per the Design Studios, allocation is merit-based with a maximum number of 30 students per section.

Erasmus+ mobility students cannot enroll for MInDS Design Studios.

Students who might not be admitted to any MInDS Design Studios will have to enter optional courses of similar disciplines (including the MIAW) for a total of 4 ECTS credits.

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 by the School from year to year.

In case of vacancy, the available places may be assigned.

The incoming international mobility students cannot attend the MIAW.

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      Workshop

The workshop activities are of two types:

- Workshops that can be credited as an activity of your choice, or as an activity that can be credited in excess;

- “Trainees Workshop”, which can be accredited as an internship activity.

Only workshops completed at least one month before the graduation session chosen by the student will be eligible for accreditation.

It is not possible to accredit a workshop held during the three-year degree course within the master's degree. If the workshop was carried out as a supernumerary activity during the three-year degree, its recognition must be requested in the new master's career.

The recognition of credits for a workshop can only take place if the workshop is authorized in advance by the School Board.

The list of workshops accredited by the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering is at: https://www.auic.polimi.it/en/teaching/lessons-and-exams/workshops

Students who attended a workshop or would like to attend a workshop, for validation in the study plan, must comply with the following procedures:

• students enrolled starting from the 2016/17 academic year must have already included the workshop in the study plan.

• students enrolled in academic years prior to 2016/17, must have already included the workshop in the study plan or alternatively an optional course. The student can replace the optional course with the attendance of a workshop.

 

Validation must be requested, at least one month before the graduation date, following the procedure indicated in the WORKSHOP section of the School website.

The Interior Built Environment Architecture Study Course provides for the recognition of a maximum number of 4 CFUs deriving from participation in workshops (the international intensive program MIAW-Milan International Architecture Workshop is considered a workshop).

8     Internships

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 entities and companies to organise external traineeship activities to offer students 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.

Rules concerning traineeship duration will be established by the Programmes, in accordance with the School’s directives. 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, visit: https://cm.careerservice.polimi.it/en/

9     Examinations

9.1      Procedures

The uniformity of procedures to test learning across all sections of the same course, and of their schedule is ensured through appropriate forms of coordination, consistently with the directives of the Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme.

At the beginning of the academic year, each Professor will communicate procedures to test learning, the examination’s content and assessment criteria.

There are three exam sessions for each course (individual courses and Design Studios). Each exam session involves one or more examination dates, as established by the School’s academic calendar.

Students may only participate in exam sessions if they are 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 Work and Degree Thesis

The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) Programme ends with the degree examination, where the Final Work is presented and discussed (the graduation project can be carried out either individually or in groups, as established by the Additional Regulations for the final test of the Laurea Magistrale Programme in Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors).

The Final Work selects and develops a discipline topic that is consistent with the didactic content of the Study Plan, and explicitly outlines and analyses the analytical, critical and design skills acquired by the graduating student during the entire programme. It can be either a theoretical document or an experimental project.

There is no possibility to develop and discuss any Final Work without the presence of a Supervisor.

The graduation project consists of an original proposal containing at least one descriptive report, graphic works and models (analogue and/or digital), whose number and type are adequate to fully present the project (according to the Additional Regulations for the final test of the Master Degree Programme in Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors).

The theoretical, documental or experimental Final Work must feature an original element of analysis, evaluation and critique with an appropriate bibliographic study. It can be presented using both graphic and iconographic works.

For final Final Work procedures, contents and minimum requirements, students are invited to refer to the Regulations for Bachelor and Master Final Workof the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering, and to the Additional Regulations of the Programme in “Architecture - Built Environment - Interiors”, published on the following page:
