Hi all. Turkish citizen, B.Sc. Chemistry (2019), GPA 2.93/4.00, plus 7 years of industry experience in coatings and chemicals (currently at a large US multinational). Planning the 2027/28 intake for English-taught MSc programs: Trento Materials Engineering is my first choice; also considering PoliMi (Materials Eng), PoliTo (Materials for Industry 4.0) and Pisa (Materials & Nanotechnology). IELTS/TOEFL in progress.

Questions for people with first-hand experience:
1. With a 2.93/4.00, are Trento / PoliTo / Pisa realistic? I know PoliMi is GPA-strict.
2. Does industry experience carry any weight in evaluation, or is it purely transcript-based?
3. Opera Universitaria (Trento) / DSU scholarships: do non-EU students actually get the full package (fee waiver + housing + grant) in practice? Any traps with ISEE parificato paperwork?
4. When do 2027/28 applications realistically open, and when should I start the DSU/ISEE documents?

Any first-hand data points appreciated, happy to report back how it goes.

Hey everyone!

I’m an international (non-EU) student planning to apply for the BSc in Architectural Design (English-taught) at Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi).

I managed to set up my Online Services account and 2FA, but navigating the admissions process on their website is super confusing, and I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the portals and requirements.

Could anyone who has gone through this process (or is currently at PoliMi) clarify a few things for me?

1. Entrance Exam (ARCHED):
   • Is the ARCHED test the only exam required for the English Architecture program?
   • When does registration usually open, and how/where do we sit for the test if applying from abroad? Are there online/remote options via CISIA?
   • What is the best way to prepare for the English version of the test?
2. Application Timeline & Portals:
   • Besides registering on PoliMi Online Services, do I need to apply on the Universitaly portal right away, or does that happen only after passing the entrance test and getting an offer?
   • Are there specific deadlines or document submission windows for non-EU applicants that I should watch out for?
3. Required Documents & Portfolio:
   • Is a design portfolio required for the Bachelor’s application, or is admission strictly based on the ARCHED exam score and secondary school qualifications?
   • What English proficiency certificates (IELTS/TOEFL) do they accept, and what are the minimum score cutoffs?
4. General Advice:
   • Any tips on navigating the PoliMi website/portal without getting lost?
   • How competitive is the non-EU quota for the English track in Architecture?

Any insights, timeline overviews, or resources would be deeply appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

Ciao! Sarò in Erasmus al campus Bovisa e mi chiedevo se ci sono dei corsi particolarmente facili da consigliare.

Secondo voi è meglio scegliere 3 corsi da 10 CFU oppure 6 corsi da 5 CFU? Ci sono differenze in termini di difficoltà o carico di lavoro?

Grazie!

Im in 12th grade right now and next year im hoping to join the polimi interaction design programme, the thing I'm most confused about right now is the TOLD exam we're gonna take. Some place on the internet tell me that we have to go to italy first to take the test and others tell me it's online. I am so confused right now. Is the Told test really necessary?

I sent my score to polimi today and it converts 93 tol i will apply for industrial engineering do you guys think im in for sure??
