Polytechnic University of Milan (POLIMI) — public non-profit university. It is located in Milan, Italy.

The institution is among the top-110 in the world, according to QS International University Ranking. Times Higher Education World University Ranking (THE), places the university in 201 position in the world.

The academic calendar at POLIMI is divided into two semesters, as in many other universities in Italy. For convenience, tuition fees are calculated per year. Tuition fees here are different for locals and foreigners. For locals, it starts from 1,003 USD, and for foreigners — a minimum of 1,017 USD. Thanks to scholarships and financial aid, university students have the opportunity to fully or partially cover the cost of education. The exact cost of programs and information on the availability of scholarships can be found on the website of the university.
In addition to the cost of education, it is necessary to pay attention to additional costs: accommodation, transportation, study materials, meals and personal expenses.

11 years of school is not enough to get into POLIMI. Since students study longer in Italy, you must first eliminate the academic difference — study for a year at a university in your home country, or take one of the preparatory programs (A-Levels, Foundation, etc.). Students are accepted to bachelor's programs at POLIMI based on the results of entrance exams. Before applying to the university, you need to pass an exam for knowledge of the English language. The university accepts the results of IELTS or TOEFL.
When considering candidates for master's programs, the admission committee of the university pays attention to the student's academic performance during the undergraduate program. To confirm your level of English, you must pass IELTS or TOEFL.
The campus of the educational institution is located in Milan. This opens up all the delights of life in a big city for students: a rich infrastructure, a large selection of entertainment, convenient transport, as well as more opportunities for internships or part-time jobs. However, for some students, such an abundance of opportunities can be distracting. There is a library on the grounds of the university. There are collected scientific works of graduates and teachers of the university, as well as fiction. Foreigners who come to POLIMI through exchange programs study and live with local students. Thus, the university promotes intercultural exchange and the establishment of interethnic relations.

After graduation in Italy, you can stay for a period of 6 months to a year. To do this, you need a job seeker visa. Only graduates of master's or doctoral programs can get it. POLIMI graduates find jobs quickly, partly because the university has a good reputation among employers according to the QS World University Rankings.
