Located in Turin, the Politecnico di Torino is known both in Italy and abroad as a leading institution to study engineering and architecture. Our university has more than 33,000 students, and about 16% are foreign – the highest percentage in Italy. We offer therefore great support services for international students such as help for accommodation and practical matters (residence permits, health insurance, fiscal code), assistance in administrative procedures, linguistic mediators and welcome activities. Our degrees are internationally recognised and students can choose to follow degree courses at all level taught in English or undertake periods of study abroad as part of their course thanks to our links with some of the most prestigious universities around the world.
Teaching activities are organized and managed by 11 departments which also promote research activities in four macro-areas: Industrial Engineering, Information Technology, Management and Mathematical Engineering,
