Programme description

Possible further education

Provided that their final grade is above a given threshold, graduates in Civil Engineering can enrol in one of the following two-year Master of Sciences (MSc) Degree Programmes offered at Politecnico: Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation, or Management of Built Environment. By enrolling in the MSc in Civil Engineering, students can also have access to the new high level training courses PoliMI Ambassador in Smart Infrastructures aimed at creating new professional profiles that are characterized by forefront systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, and specific aptitude to innovation in the fields of the smart infrastructures. The PoliMi Smart Infrastructures certification will be reported in the Student’s Diploma Supplement and an electronic badge will be issued by Politecnico di Milano. Upon evaluation of their curriculum, graduates in Civil Engineering can also enrol to other Master of Science programmes, or 1st level Specializing Masters. Enrolment in two Master of Science programmes is also allowed if these are of different degree classes and differ for at least two thirds of the training activities, in terms of academic credits.
