Politecnico di Milano (reviews)

Written exams in several courses often include ambiguously formulated or overly tricky questions, resulting in high failure rates even among well-prepared students. Oral exams sometimes override written results: students who have passed with strong grades can be subjected to prolonged questioning that appears designed to find minor gaps rather than confirm overall competence.
A student passing written exams with high grades—not once, but twice—does so through hard work, not chance. Comments suggesting otherwise reinforce perceptions of favoritism and arbitrariness, undermining trust in the assessment process.
Additionally, Italian students are often allowed to ask questions and answer in Italian, both in lectures and oral exams, creating an uneven playing field for international students required to perform entirely in English. I do note recommend this program to international students

Students are not evaluated solely on the basis of written exams, but through a combination of written and oral assessments. However, students who have attempted the written exams three or four times and achieved grades of 7 or 8 (out of 10, with 10 being the highest) are ultimately subject to the professor’s personal judgment and discretion, a system that leaves room for personal negotiations, favoritism, and clientelist relationships.

I transferred here during my bachelors and completed it here. Finished my masters here as well. I was able to do so with the help of scholarships that the university provided as well as many financial aid programs with reduced fees for students from low income backgrounds. The professors are one of the best and the facilities are top notch. I would definitely recommend to other students out there to study here.

Can i just say that the people here are just brilliant, funny sarcastic, but in a good way, caring too (obviously i dont mean everybody) but the few people who i have associated with are really fun. Now lets see the course management is up there, lots to do and decent enough time given to do them. Plus side, my lecturers are not angry grouches so that is a huge plus.
