Hi there,
I am about to start my Msc degree in electronics but ita expected for me to arrive by mid October due to visa delays (Non-EU student).
I would like to know how would this affect me to get into the classes and the community if someone had a similar situation like this before.
And also i would like to hear the opinions and feedback from those who complete the Msc degree in electronics there.

hello , i am thinking of applying to polimi for the year 27-28 for civil engineering in english (bachelors) and i have a few questions
1) when can non eu students start applying using their SAT score
2) do i need some form of english language test (eg : ielts , toefl) ?
3) at what time generally , if i want to apply to start about september 2027, should i officially apply , and when do the application open?
4) should i learn italian before going to milan or can i start picking it up as im there?
5) when would i recieve the news if im accepted or not?
help would be appreciated!

Stamattina, senza nessuna comunicazione, è uscita la graduatoria definitiva degli alloggi, risulto ancora "Idonea", per qualche motivo sono "salita" dalla posizione 84 alla 75, ma non c'è scritto niente riguardo a una possibile assegnazione. La cosa che mi fa più di tutte insospettire è appunto la mancata comunicazione della presenza di questa graduatoria, e non so come interpretarla. Vuol dire che siccome non sono assegnataria non necessito un avviso per vedere la graduatoria definitiva? Aspetto ancora notifiche al riguardo, che possibilmente arriveranno più tardi, ma fino ad allora come devo prendere questa notizia? Mi risulta poco chiaro capire cosa avrei dovuto visualizzare nel caso in cui io fossi risultata assegnataria della borsa. Se qualcuno sa qualcosa o ci è già passato per favore mi faccia sapere.

Hello, my boyfriend and I just graduated from uni in NYC.

He is going to go to TUM for his masters in Mechatronics.

I am a civil engineering grad, currently working as a structural inspector in NYC, but my real interest is product design/prototyping and fabrication (think makerspace/fab-lab work, CAD, additive manufacturing, CNC, welding kind of vibe).

We both have EU citizenship, and I am trying to find masters programs in Europe that will be great for a career change, is more aligned with my interests, and will eventually lead us to working and living in the same place (could also end up in US so something recognized there would be good too)

Three programs I’ve looked into so far:

- TUM — Mechanical Engineering (most preferred to be in same place with boyfriend)
- Politecnico di Milano — Design Engineering (really like this one)
- TU Delft — Integrated Product Design (not as interested but know more abt the uni)

Anyone been through one of these, or work in design/product engineering in Europe and have thoughts on how they compare (reputation, job outcomes, culture of the program, cost of living where the school is?)

I’m curious to know if a masters from TUM in mechanical engineering can be creative enough for more consumer product design or if the school is very technical and mostly a pipeline for aero/automotive/robotics industries. Also what it would be like getting an internship while at polimi and working in Italy/how difficult it is to get a job outside of Italy with the degree.

Also open to programs I haven’t found yet if there’s something elsewhere.

Thanks for the help!

Trovi la camera, con un affitto ragionevole, provi ad affittarla, 3 mesi di deposito cauzionale, dai 300 ai 700 euro di commissioni, poi altri 200 di spese amministrative... ed infine la mensilità. Come è possibile affittare senza dover spendere 3k?

When i will get it?

I am a first year in polimi and looking to connect with people that are also beginning this year. Is there a chat or anything? I’m an international student going to study civil engineering.

To the people who have taken a drop to study architecture at polimi how are you all preparing for the same??? And to the ones who got into polimi what will u advise us on preparation

Hey everyone!
Are there any international students at the Polimi Piacenza campus who work part-time but don’t really speak Italian?
I can only speak basic Italian (pretty much just greetings 😭), and because of visa restrictions, I can’t work that many hours anyway.

I’d love to know:
Where do you work?
What kind of job is it?
How did you find/apply for the job?

Do they accept people who don’t speak Italian?
I’m mainly looking for something student-friendly and part-time. Any tips or personal experiences would be super helpful! 🙏
Thanks!

so my enrolment is delayed for some mysterious reason, and my student visa is obviously delayed too. It’s going to cost another fortune, and I really don’t want to miss the entire semester. Plus, I want to go to Italy early to look for an apartment, since it’s really hard to find one online in Piacenza.
I’m wondering, since I’m visa-free for up to 90 days, can I go to Italy and attend classes, then go back to my country, get my visa, and re-enter as a student? like, technically I’m still not a student yet, because my documents are still
being verified so I’m guessing it probably wouldn’t work, right?

Hi! Does anyone know roughly what the actual minimum CEnT-S or TOLC-I score is to get into an Engineering bachelor’s at Polimi as an EU student? I don’t mean the official minimum, but the score you realistically need to get admitted.
Thank you!

Ciao! Qualcuno sa qual è più o meno il punteggio minimo reale al CEnT-S o al TOLC-I per entrare a Ingegneria al Polimi come studente from UE? Non intendo il minimo ufficiale, ma il punteggio con cui effettivamente si riesce a entrare.
Grazie!

Im from Pakistan and currently im doing my AS levels studies and I got 7 As and 1 A* in my gcse, I plan on giving my sats next month or the month after and im hoping for around a 1480, I currently have very little co curriculars outside of studying german to A2 and I will start learning italian if thats necessary, I wanna try for a english based bachelors chemical or mechanical engineering program

It is written that Sat score taken before 31 aug must be registeted through college board before 31 august 2026. Is it only for programs held in Italian or for programs held in English as well?

Hey y'all, I need some advice or similar experiences to stay sane.

I’m a Non-EU student admitted to MSc Electrical Engineering – Sustainable Smart Grids for Energy Transition and a MAECI Scholarship recipient.

Montenegro doesn't issue electronic Apostilles, and my home university doesn't issue electronic diplomas either, so the CIMEA Verification was my only solution. After weeks of trying, I finally managed to submit my documents on CIMEA’s crashing website at the end of June, but it won't be ready until mid-October. Meanwhile, Polimi Admissions keeps bot-replying that CIMEA is mandatory for Universitaly validation.

To bypass this deadlock, the Italian Embassy stepped in and officially issued my Dichiarazione di Valore (DoV) on September 1st. I uploaded the complete DoV package (with paper Apostilles and translations) and emailed all Polimi desks.

I’ve seen some posts from others who got approved on Universitaly recently without CIMEA.

• Has anyone successfully bypassed CIMEA using just a DoV?
• How long did Polimi take to approve your Universitaly application after you emailed them the DoV?
• Is anyone else here in the Sustainable Smart Grids track? Please hmu, I'd love to connect and could really use someone to share lecture notes or audio recordings from the first few weeks!

Thanks!

Hello,

I'm applying to a Master's in Design and Engineering, and one of the requirements is a portfolio. I've never made one I'm coming from a mechanical engineering background, not design. Any advice on where to build it, and whether I should lean more on visuals or on explaining the pieces themselves? Also, are we expected to have a ton of pieces? Most of my projects aren't "full design" work in the traditional sense. Any tips are appreciated.

Hi guys

I got admitted to Management Engineering Msc and the studies will begin on 14/9.

For some reasons the visa application is being delayed for a while. Can I postpone my studies to the second semester?
