2. General presentation of the study programme
Since its conception, in 1982, the management and production engineer (hereafter, simply referred to as management engineer) has been perceived as the engineer of change and innovation. To some extent, the management engineer is similar to the classical engineer, because he is responsible for creatively using scientific principles and methods to design and manage systems. The management engineer works in complex contexts, where technological, economic, human, organizational and financial variables closely interact. Hence, the skills profile of the management engineer has been shaped by translating the already existing professional profile of the manager-engineer into a clearly defined and consistent university curriculum. This curriculum has been continuously updated and enriched so as to meet the requirements of both Italian and foreign private companies and institutions where management engineers are employed.
Today, the management engineers who graduated from Politecnico di Milano can be found everywhere. The different career paths that these engineers have followed demonstrate that the labour market appreciates this professional qualification. Management engineers work in industrial and service (e.g., telecom, transport) companies, consulting firms, financial institutions, banks and insurance companies, authorities, public administrations and non-profit organizations.
Our graduates cover a widereaching range of activities, such as managing technology and the means of production, designing and managing production and logistic systems, strategic planning and marketing, business organization and management, internationalization processes, corporate and market finance, company management in regulated sectors and network services, relationships with authorities, large-scale project planning and management (e.g., manufacturing plants, infrastructures, R&D), internet applications and ICT management.
3. Learning objectives
The overall aim of the Bachelor of Science in Management and Production Engineering at Politecnico di Milano is to train individuals able to contribute to the economic and industrial development of their country by adopting a structured and analytical approach. To pursue this objective, after long interactions with the labour market, we defined four main Intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) for the management engineer. Graduates in Management and Production Engineering from Politecnico di Milano must be able to:
- understand the key scientific and engineering principles and how they are embodied in the various technologies adopted in the corporate world;
- know the context variables, and the essential functions and processes of the corporate and industrial field;
- design solutions by applying the scientific and engineering approach (learning, reasoning and modelling relying on a solid multidisciplinary preparation) to responsibly tackle problems and opportunities in the corporate and industrial field;
- interact professionally, effectively and constructively with colleagues in the work environment.
The accomplishment of these objectives presupposes the acquisition of knowledge and methods in the fields of both Information Engineering and Industrial Engineering.
Below we detail the educational objectives qualifying the L-8 and L-9 Classes.

4. Organization of the study programme and further studies
4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications
The Bachelor of Science in Management and Production Engineering lasts three years and covers 180 credits (ECTS).
In the current study plan, which was activated in the 2018/2019 academic year, the first year is focused on the study and comprehension of basic scientific and engineering principles, an essential prerequisite for a subsequent in-depth study of technological, economic, financial, human and organisational variables. The skills to be acquired are in the fields of mathematics, physics, computer science and some basic engineering sciences. Besides the above subjects, second year students are supposed to attend some courses in the engineering and management fields, such as optimisation methods, science of automation and digital technologies, production technologies, business strategy, productive process planning. Lastly, third year students essentially attend on economic, managerial and organisational topics, such as economics, business management and organisational behaviour, and management of industrial plants. Third year students also have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of some engineering disciplines, depending on their individual interests and aptitudes. The Bachelor programme is completed by some practical activities that aim at enabling students to apply in real and multi-disciplinary contexts the models and methodologies learnt before. These practical activities will be carried out through an internship/project work in a company or the participation in a laboratory project that may help students to acquire skills that are crucial to enter the job market. These activities will furthermore contribute to the accomplishment of the fourth ILO described in section 3.
4.2 Further Studies
The qualification grants access to "Laurea Magistrale" (2nd degree), "Corso di Specializzazione di primo livello" (1st level Specialization Course) and "Master Universitario di primo livello" (1st level University Master)
The Bachelor degree in Management and Production Engineering allows the access to the “Master Degree” (Teaching Regulation 270/04) according to the limitations established by the law and according to to the rules approved by each university. The most natural continuation of the programme is the Master of Science in Management and Production Engineering, offered by the Politecnico di Milano in the Bovisa campus. For the admission conditions please see the related Master of Science Programmes.
5. Professional opportunities and work market
5.1 Professional status of the degree
The Management engineering graduate integrates a solid scientific and engineering background with wide knowledge of economics and management. This preparation allows one to operate in very wide scope of activities such as: professional field: planning and management of manufacturing and logistic systems, strategic planning, marketing, cost accounting, organization, finance, project management and management and planning of new Information and Communication Technologies.
The Bachelor of Science degree in Management and Production Engineering (Teaching Regulation 270/04) belongs to both the L/8 (Information Technology Engineering) and L/9 (Industrial Engineering) Classes. In any case, the qualification is unique.
According to the law, the Degree issued by the University will refer to only one of the two abovementioned Classes. When students enroll in the Bachelor of Science, they express the option for one of the two Classes.
Bachelor graduates in Management and Production Engineering can, if they are interested, take a state-run examination for the professional qualification in Section B (Junior Engineers) of the Engineers’ professional register, only in the “Information Technology Engineering” or “Industrial Engineering” areas corresponding to their degree qualification Classification.
5.2 Careers options and profiles
The management engineers who have graduated from the Politecnico di Milano since the introduction of this degree course have followed diverse career paths. This diversity proves that the labour market appreciates management engineers and employs them also in activities not covered or considered when the Degree Programme was designed (e.g., activities in the financial industry).
The survey carried out by the Career Service of Politecnico di Milano in 2018 on the management engineers that got the Bachelor Degree title the year before, reveals that one year after obtaining their degrees, 95.2% of these graduates are employed. 50.7% of sample graduates found a job within four months after graduation.
The degree course in Management and Production Engineering has always had strong links with businesses and the labour market.
The Career Service of Politecnico di Milano (http://www.careerservice.polimi.it) coordinates the offer of work placements for students and graduates. It notifies students of any internship or job opportunities and it organizes company presentations for students and graduates from both the Bachelor and the Master of Science degree courses. Opportunities within each degree course are posted on the Career Service portal, which can be accessed at http://www.careerservice.polimi.it/en-US/Internship/Home/Index/

6.2 Requested knowledge
Detailed information concerning the admission test are available on the website https://www.polimi.it/en/international-prospective-students
6.3 Deadlines for admission and number of places available
To optimize the use of available resources across different locations, the total number of places for first-year enrollment in each degree program at the University is set by the Academic Senate during the definition of the educational offer, based on the indications provided by the relevant School.
Enrollment in the first year of the degree course is conditional upon passing a test aimed at verifying the possession of the knowledge required for admission and the aptitude for study. The verification of the possession of the required knowledge for admission is carried out through a common test for all Engineering courses activated by the University (TOL – Test Online).
The TOL can be taken by students in the penultimate and final year of high school, and by graduates.
The Engineering test has a minimum threshold. Even if there are available places, students who do not achieve a score of 30,00/100 or higher cannot enroll.
The ranking position of the candidates is established based on the score, available places for each test session, and the order of preferences expressed.
There are two phases of enrollment. The first phase of early enrollment is reserved for students who have passed the TOL in their penultimate year of high school with a score of 75,00/100 or higher.
The second phase of standard enrollment is reserved for students who passed the TOL in their penultimate year of high school with a score lower than 75,00/100, students who passed the TOL in their last year of high school, graduates, or students who passed the TOL in the penultimate year of high school but did not enroll in the first enrollment window.
Those who have achieved the minimum score set annually by the University in one of the following internationally recognized tests: SAT, GRE, GMAT, and TOLC-I (CISIA Test), may be exempted from the admission test.
The test is conducted remotely, using the candidate's personal computer and smartphone/tablet, with a connection in a Zoom Room supervised by a responsible person.
The attribution of Additional Educational Obligations (OFA TENG) occurs when, considering only the English section, the number of correct answers is less than 24.
For the fulfillment of the OFA TENG, it is possible to present a certification of English language knowledge accepted by the University or, alternatively, take specific tests at external entities to the Polytechnic.
All details about the admission procedures, including the updated dates of the sessions scheduled for the TOL, are available on the University's website at: https://www.polimi.it/en/futuri-studenti/admission-to-laurea-programmes/engineering
6.4 Tutoring and students support
The Tutoring service is aimed at assisting students during their studies, especially in the first three years. This activity involves student-tutors and professor-tutors. Student-tutors meet students and provide them with information on the practical organization of studies and on the support system offered by the Politecnico. Furthermore, they help students who need to fill basic gaps (for example, students with compulsory supplementary education). The service is organised as part of the Study Programme to which students should refer for all necessary information to find tutors and the services provided.
Moreover, on request, the tutoring service provides professors with PhD student-tutors to support students in laboratory activities, to provide additional support to foreign students or to organise teaching material provided by professors.
7. Contents of the study Program
7.1 Programme requirements
As specified in the didactic regulations, 180 credits are required to obtain the degree (first level). More specifically, at least 70 credits are required for the basic courses (mathematics, statistics, computer science), the remaining credits for distinguishing courses and other activities.
According to Law No. 33 of April 12, 2022, simultaneous enrollment in two programs is allowed. Enrollment in two programs is possible only if they are of different degree classes (classi di laurea) and differ in at least two-thirds of their educational activities regarding academic credits.
Consistent with what is defined by Law No. 33, at the student's instance, the maximum number of CFUs already taken in the other program and validatable is 60 CFUs for BSc programmes.
Please note that courses belonging to programs of a different level or type from the program you are enrolled in cannot be validated.
Full details on when to apply for validation and the administrative fees to be paid are available on the Polimi website: https://www.polimi.it/contemporanea-iscrizione
7.2 Mode of study
This Course requires a full time attendance and involves classroom and laboratory activities
7.2.1 Teaching innovation initiatives
Four teaching innovation initiatives are integrated into the study plan of the Bachelor of Science. The first initiative aims at developing students’ organizational and social skills, especially contributing to the fourth ILO of the degree course (i.e., interacting professionally, effectively and constructively with colleagues in the work environment). It consists in the introduction of the 5 ECTS course "Organizational behavior" to be attended by third year students. The activities of this course are designed so as to involve students in practical tests and activities with the following expected learning outcomes:
- managing stress, time and priorities;
- understanding team dynamics and contributing to teamwork to achieve a result;
- managing conflicts constructively;
- clearly communicating concepts and ideas.
- behaving in a professional and responsible way.
The second initiative aims at exposing Bachelor students to some examples of multidisciplinarity, especially contributing to the second ILO (i.e., knowing the context variables, the essential functions and processes in the corporate and industrial field). The initiative consists in the introduction of the 10 ECTS course “Business data analytics” to be attended by third year students. This course involves the departments of mathematics and management, economics and industrial engineering.
The third initiative aims at exposing students to real problems, offering them the opportunity to apply in two different ways concepts learned during the last year of the degree course:
- Project in a company
- Traditional individual internship (2-3 full time months in a company, with a specific goal)
- Part-time internship (5-6 months part-time to allow students attend lectures)
- Work in a company with a specific task
- Laboratory project focused on solving real life problems.
This third initiative contributes to the third and fourth ILOs (designing solutions by applying the scientific and engineering approach, and interacting professionally, effectively and constructively with colleagues in the work environment).
Finally, 1 ECTS of the "Mathematical analysis II" course, that is attended by first year students, will be awarded by adopting the flipped classroom approach, thus contributing to the first ILO (i.e., understanding the essential scientific and engineering principles and their embodiment in the various technologies adopted in the corporate world).7.2.2 Evaluation methods
The verification of learning follows the procedures of the School of Industrial and Information Engineering, which are available on the following website. https://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/fileadmin/user_upload/scuola/calendario_accademico/Procedure_per_la_Verifica_dell_Apprendimento_nei_CL23-24_Agg200622.pdf.
The learning assessment methods are made public at the beginning of the academic year along with the course sheets.
Verification of learning is carried out through exams during the sessions scheduled in the Academic Calendar. Additionally, ongoing evaluation may be carried out during the semester in which the teaching is provided. The ongoing assessments may take different forms, as reported on the School's website. Some activities assessed during the semester, which are clearly highlighted in the teaching sheet, may be compulsory and require in-person attendance.
By including the courses in their study plan, students accept their learning assessment methods as well as the remaining content of the sheets.

The admission to courses delivered in English (061963 - ECONOMICS 2 (MACROECONOMICS); 061961 - BUSINESS MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATION; 061964 - INDUSTRIAL PLANTS MANAGEMENT) is restricted to a limited number of students. To be admitted, students must definitively add the 3 courses reported above to their study plan, until available places are filled.
7.3.2 Individual Tracks
Students should avoid autonomous tracks. Autonomous tracks can be exceptionally accepted only in presence of strong motivations. Students with strong motivations are those
- whose study plan has become autonomous as a result of the transfer to the degree course in Management and Production Engineering from other degree courses of Politecnico di Milano or from other universities and the recognition of the ECTS already achieved;
- whose study plan has become autonomous as a consequence of changes in the Academic Regulations of the Study Program;
- who propose an autonomous study plan to participate in international exchange programmes,
- enrolled in the third year of the course who intend to include in their study plan some Master of Science courses to acquire the attendance or the ECTS (see the following point of the teaching regulations).
7.3.3 Examinations passed before enrolling in the Master of Science programme (M.Sc.)
During the Bachelor of Science degree, in the interests of future admission to a Master of Science programme, students can:
- A1) earn ECTS credits by passing extra Master of Science examinations, included in their study plans; these ECTS that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 credits needed to be awarded a Master of Science;
- A2) acquire attendance status in Master of Science courses. As in A1) but without the request of passing the examination that, as a result of acquiring attendance status, can be taken in advance;
- A3) earn ECTS credits for track integrations established by an ad hoc Bachelor of Science admissions Commission; these ECTS credits are “in addition” to the 120 needed to be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
In the period between awarding of the Bachelor of Science degree and enrolment on the Master of Science, in the interests of the latter, it is possible to:
- B1) earn ECTS credits by successfully passing Master of Science Examinations, by enrolling on Master of Science modules as individual modules. These are considered “advance” ECTS credits that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 credits needed to be awarded a Master of Science;
- B2) acquire attendance status in Master of Science modules as in B1) but without passing the examination;
- B3) earn ECTS credits for track integrations established by an ad hoc Bachelor of Science admissions Commission; these ECTS credits are “in addition” to the 120 needed to be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
There are the following limitations:
- the total number of ECTS credits (by passing examinations and/or by acquiring attendance status) that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 ECTS credits needed to be awarded the Master of Science title (A1+A2+B1+B2) cannot exceed 30. Thus any additional ECTS credits earned exceeding 30 will not be taken into account.
- the number of ECTS credits acquired by single modules cannot exceed 80 ECTS, including also track integrations (A3 and B3).
7.3.4 Project Work
As discussed in Section 4.1 of this document, the final examination may be associated with an internship experience carried out in a company (Project Work), or with a project work developed during the Laboratorio di Analisi e Modellazione del Processi (LAMP).
The Project Work is based on the internship opportunities offered by the Career Service in collaboration with the CCS. This activity aims to make the student apply knowledge and methodologies learned during the course of study, within a well-defined project.
The modalities of access to the final exam are explained in the document of presentation of the final exam, available on the CCS website in the section https://management-eng.polimi.it/en/bachelor-of-science/final-examination/.
Students are allowed to autonomously propose a Project Work opportunity of their own that is consistent with the guidelines defined by the CCS for the following exceptional conditions, such as:
Enrolment in the degree exam session of March with a maximum of 30 CFU missing (including the 10 CFU of the Project Work) for the completion of the fall study plan.
- Participation in international exchange programmes during the last year;
7.4 Foreign language

11. International context
As reported by a recent EQUIS (the European Quality Improvement System) survey, the Bachelor of Science in Management and Production Engineering is recognised as a programme of excellence creating a uniform professional profile which unites traditional fundamental engineering competencies with the organisational, corporate and productive skills typical of Business Schools.
In addition to the Erasmus exchange programme, several bilateral agreements are in force. These include double degree programs, Unitech (agreements with Ecole Centrale Paris, ETH Zurich, RWTH Aachen University and others) and specific agreements for joint initiatives with other foreign universities.
12. Internationalization
The Bachelor of Science in Management and Production Engineering encourages international exchanges and student mobility abroad. The various possibilities may be found at https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students.
During their academic career, students can take courses in foreign Universities. The credits earned abroad may be acknowledged according to specific rules (see section 12.1). Proposals for foreign exchanges must be approved by a Commission delegated by the Programme Board.
The Commission has prepared a dedicated guideline to international mobility and exchange, available here: https://www.som.polimi.it/en/course/master-of-science/. This guideline is regularly updated and revised.
Information on exchange programmes, double degree projects and international internships, European research and international relations projects are available at
https://www.polimi.it/en/exchange-students-incoming/.
To have access to exchange programmes students should participate to an annual call, managed at University level. For details and information visit https://www.polimi.it/en/current-students .
Requirements for the acceptance in exchange programmes
All students who have earned an average number of ECTS per semester – starting from the date of enrolment – of 25 or more, regardless of the average score, could be admitted to the international programme, if they pass the call.
It is possible to be admitted to international programmes only once, thus a student who has been in an international programme during the Bachelor degree cannot apply again during the Master degree, but it can participate in exchange programmes using personal funds.
Credits which could be attained from abroad
It is not possible to earn ECTS abroad on modules already attended but whose examinations have not been taken. Students cannot leave before the second semester of the second year.
For the characterising courses, students must find “close” correspondences, in terms of content, with courses at the host University. On the other hand, for non-characterising courses, a correspondence on a subject level is permitted only where a close correspondence cannot be found.
A dedicated guideline to international mobility and exchange is available here:https://www.som.polimi.it/en/course/master-of-science/. This guideline is regularly updated and revised.
13. Quantitative data
