Admission

The Alta Scuola Politecnica (ASP) selects each year 150 exceptionally talented and motivated students among the applicants to the Laurea Magistrale (LM) programmes in Architecture, Design and Engineering at Politecnico di Milano (90 students) and Politecnico di Torino (60 students).

ASP Call

The call is opened to all students who have obtained a Laurea or an equivalent title (i.e., a Bachelor or a university programme consisting of at least 3 years of study after secondary education), have average marks of 27/30 or equivalent, and can demonstrate a good knowledge of the English language.

Candidates Evaluation

Candidates are selected by an Evaluation Committee, specifically appointed by the Director of the ASP. The Evaluation Committee selects the students on the basis of their curriculum of studies, a motivation letter and their proficiency in the English language.

University Call for Admissions

Courses

Courses on issues, models and methods of innovation, tackled with a strong interdisciplinary perspective. The ASP educational programme consists in 30 additional credits (CFU) to be achieved in parallel to the regular 120 credits of the Laurea Magistrale programme. An ASP student achieves, at the end of her/his two years, a total amount of 150 CFU.

Our Path

The ASP educational activities start in January and are distributed in parallel to the two-year courses of the Laurea Magistrale programme.

Our Courses

ASP courses are cross-cultural and built on top of the technical knowledge and skills acquired by the students in their specific Laurea Magistrale courses.

Projects

Multidisciplinary projects, in which students may practice the process of envisioning, framing, planning and implementing innovation.

Our Projects

Students participate to multidisciplinary projects, proposed as a collaboration between Universities and external institutions.

Projects in the spotlight

Every year our students are invited to present their results at museums, exhibitions and important international events.

Executive Board

The ASP activities are coordinated by an Executive Board consisting of 8 professors of Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino.
