I highly recommend Politenico di Milano in terms of its architectural education. They try to teach their students contemporary approaches in the architecture world. As a first year Master student, I can speak for the Piacenza campus and here we have a very strong student community though we have a small campus. Also, I have to mention that their financial support unit works quite well even though the application process for the scholarships might feel a little frustrating time to time. It’s worth it in the end.

Milan’s Politecnico is among the best universities in the world, just being aware of that makes me proud.

There are two things I’d like to highlight in this review: the transition from actual classes to online ones and back again, and a project I’ve been part of.

When covid first struck, it took us a little more than a week to be fully operational again, in a way that – sure – couldn’t emulate the student life outside classes, but satisfied the demands and managed to teach us what we were supposed to learn.

When we came back to campus, all the rooms were equipped with a camera and an overhead mic, in order to be able to welcome both physically and virtually attending students.

I think it pulled out the good from the covid experience and added it to actual classes.

Secondly, I took part in one of the numerous projects outside classes.

It really was important for me: both for my development as a designer and the deployment of my passions.

It is a Formula Student team, a group of circa 100 students who join forces to build a racecar.

This symbolises the student life (there are hundreds of projects a student can take part in) that surrounds this university: there’s something for everyone.

All in all, I think it’s a really good place to study. Of course, you could happen to have a kinky professor or to be in a study course that you don’t like, but this can happen in every university, so I wouldn’t make it count.

The climate change specialization in the field of environmental and land engineering offered by Politecnico is quite interesting in terms of understanding the current and future problems faced by the world due to Greenhouse gases emissions. The in-depth knowledge of policies, protocols and guidelines to cope up with the big threats of climate change is well planned in this course of 2 years.

About the program, it is interesting the cultural diversity of the students, and the erasmus experiences of the program, in classes they teach real cases as well interesting activities related to labour environment.

The content of the program in terms of courses is good enough but the only problem, in my opinion, is that the content is so heavy and it lacks the policy Part.

The teaching method is so imitative and it’s all theoretical and sometimes contains unnecessary Details.

In general, this combination makes it tough and requires high persistence even if you are highly interested in it.

If you are looking for a university where you can relax don’t choose Polimi. It is not an easy university, during the year you will be challenged by professors, exams and projects. However, Politecnico prepares you for a future working life. I mean, it doesn’t give you all the knowledge necessary, but it gives u a method, and it teaches u to adopt a rigorous mood in whatever u have to do.
It is tough, but it pays off.

It is an excellent university that gives a varied and in-depth preparation. He also manages to prepare professional figures sought after on the market. Most of the teachers are very open to questions and questions, but they often involve little students. The practical part of laboratories should be increased. They would also need investments to improve classrooms and common places, such as more study rooms. As for my course of study, then biomedical engineering, I recommend it for the great variety of topics covered and the possibilities of choice that offers you. Furthermore, it has less engineering subjects concerning physiology and biology that make the course of study more interesting.

The university is striving to innovate both its contents and its offer. Student associations are kept in high regard lately and this, together with th everpresent competency and knowledge of professors, offers a fulfilling experience
