More information about the local application process can be found here.
NOTICE: The Polimi’s application fee and administrative fee are waived if you want to apply only to the EIT Manufacturing Master School programmes. Please, ignore the last step with the payment request and ignore any automated reminders/emails asking for the Polimi application fee. As such, your local application is considered only for the EIT Manufacturing study tracks and your final admission to POLIMI is subordinated to the results of the central EIT Manufacturing selection process.
Only if you intend to apply to Polimi for its local programmes and want to be evaluated independently of the final admission results on EIT Manufacturing side, then the Polimi’s application fee and administrative fees are due, like for all the other Polimi applicants. In this case, your application can be considered also for the local master degree programmes, in case your EIT Manufacturing application is not successful.
Students with a bachelor from Applied Science Universities (i.e. SUPSI) cannot apply for Polimi
