About Politecnico di Torino

Welcome to Politecnico di Torino: Politecnico di Torino was the first Italian Engineering School, founded in the wave of the technical and scientific innovation that gave rise to the most prestigious European polytechnic schools in the mid-19th century. Founded as a School for Engineers in 1859, it then became Regio Politecnico di Torino in 1906. Engineers, architects, designers and urban planners have been trained at Politecnico di Torino for over 160 years with rigor, integrity and high-level standards. This long ever-changing history has rated Politecnico among the top 20 European technical universities for education and research in Engineering and Architecture.

Some key factors have contributed to make Politecnico a truly international and multicultural university which is currently chosen by over 7,000 international students from more than 100 countries (19% of all PoliTO students): the development of a course catalogue in English from undergraduate to Ph.D. level, support for international mobility, the participation in joint projects and research programmes and the creation of new campuses abroad.

In an evolving global context disrupted by the effects of globalization, climate change, population aging, new and increasingly pervasive technologies, Universities are expected to progress in order to produce an impact on a rapidly changing society. Politecnico di Torino has therefore decided to transform itself into a “platform” University expected to be permeable, inclusive, open to the labour market and to industry, with a key role in innovation and lifelong learning. The goal is to become a driving force for a societal sustainable development.

Campuses of the Politecnico di Torino draw inspiration from the structure of Anglo-Saxon ones, with multipurpose buildings for teaching, applied research and services to the students in Turin, and a regional network of technological centers , dedicated to research activities, technological transfer, specialist education and services to the region.

There are two main libraries and many small libraries in the various departments, with over 250.000 items in stock and subscribing over a thousand periodicals a year. 

We are a Computer Based University where new technologies are an integral part of learning and student services, in fact, multimedia tools like wifi on all campuses, blogs and lessons in video-streaming have greatly changed the way of teaching, as well as student-teacher and student-student relations.
