Normally 1 year abroad (depending on programs), possibly in more sites


MS level


1,5-2 years abroad• International Double

Degrees promoted by POLIMI (more than 40 programs), at BS and MS level



Standard “Erasmus” Exchange

• More than 150 destinations, worldwide

• Normally it is based on one semester abroad; extensions can

be requested according to interest and pending availability

• Students must define their study plan in advance… but don’t

worry, it can be changed at any time!

• Every year approx. 250 ME students take part in the

experience, based on the results of the internal competition

system applied in the Mobility Call

• The “experience” is more important than the credits!

See the Rules of the School for details!

Standard “Erasmus” Exchange: Internationalization

Commission

ME Students will refer to a faculty advisor, member of the

Internationalization Commission, ONLY to:

- Compile the Learning Agreement for the exchange

- Make changes to the LA once they are abroad

- Validate the credits of the courses taken abroad

For ALL other questions and procedures, they MUST refer to the

Studesk Office Bovisa (Campus La Masa)

Final Thesis Abroad?

ME MSc students can work on their thesis worldwide as long as they have a POLIMI thesis supervisor, as per Italian Law

They can pursue all types of thesis work available to ME students:

- Report (max 2 points)

- Thesis without discussant (max 4 points)

- Thesis with discussant (max 7 points)

Details on types of thesis work available on 3i School website:

http://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/didattica/esami-di-laurea-e-laurea-magistrale/

http://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/didattica/esami-di-laurea-e-laurea-magistrale/


Students who wish to work on their thesis abroad must:

a) Find a Polimi thesis supervisor before they leave. Often there

is a connection between the supervisor and the faculty at the

receiving institution, as this facilitates the student’s work

a) Define their project before they leave. Often the project is

also related to a specific foreign university


For these reasons taking part in the Mobility Call - where the final

destination assigned to the student may NOT be his/her first

choice - is NOT recommended for a thesis work

Students also risk suffering isolation and not taking part in the

host university life if they are merely working on a thesis

Hence, the School requires for students to take AT LEAST ONE

COURSE when studying abroad for their thesis if they decide to

through an exchange programme (Mobility Call)
