EIT Digital Master School
https://www.mastereit.polimi.it/
Politecnico di Milano participates to the EIT Digital Master School and offers a double-degree master programme in cooperation with the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT). It consists in a two-year programme in computer science and information technology (ICT), with a focus on digital innovation and entrepreneurship, to equip students with high-level technical knowledge and business skills.
Students attend the first year at Politecnico di Milano and move for the second year to one of the top technical universities in Europe. At the end of the two years (120 ECTS), students receive two Master of Science degrees, one from each university attended, as well as the certificate from the EIT.
Politecnico di Milano provides two different EIT Digital study tracks within the Laurea Magistrale (MSc) in Computer Science and Engineering: Data Science and Human-Computer Interaction & Design. Both programmes combine technical major courses with a minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship. Students also participate in a business challenge at European level, a two-week summer school and undertake a work placement in a company or in a research institute, all of which can take place in different locations across Europe.

Degree in Computer Engineering or Bioengineering of the Politecnico to earn also the M.Sc. Degree in Computer Science or Bioengineering from UIC. The students attend courses at Politecnico for the first semester and then spend the second semester at UIC.
PoliTong project
In 2006 the first Italian-Chinese university, that allows Italians and Chinese students to achieve a degree recognized in both countries, was launched. The Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino for Italy, together with Tongji University in Shanghai for China, have designed Bachelor of Science courses (BSc) in the areas of Information Engineering and Mechanical and Production Engineering. The initiative provides an opportunity to make an experience in China, which enables students to:
The program aims to:

TIME Top Industrial Managers for Europe
http://www.time-association.org/
The Top Industrial Managers for Europe (T.I.M.E.) is an association of some of the most important European Schools of Engineering. The Politecnico di Milano is one of its founding members. The Association promotes bilateral agreements between its member Institutions in order to set up double degree programs. Within the T.I.M.E. Program, Engineering students are awarded both the degree of Politecnico di Milano at the level of Laurea Magistrale and the one of the partner Institution at the corresponding level. Both degrees have a legal value in the country where they are obtained. Within the T.I.M.E. Program, engineering students are allowed to substitute one year at the Politecnico di Milano, with two years abroad, in a partner institutions with which the bilateral agreement for a double degree has been stipulated. During their period abroad, students are required to face a workload of 120 ECTS, 60 of which will be recognized at the Politecnico di Milano. The Master’s thesis can consist of one project with 2 supervisors or 2 different projects. In any case, the thesis must be discussed in front of an official Committee according to the rules of each institution. From its creation, the dual degree TIME curriculum has achieved extraordinary results: more than fifteen hundred TIME students have obtained a double degree. Among them, more than four hundred, between Italian and foreign students, have a double degree with the Politecnico di Milano.

The initiative provides an opportunity to make an experience in China, which enables students to:
- follow a course of study defined by the Politecnico di Milano e Torino and by Tongji University
- improve their language skills
- live a unique cultural and personal experience
The program aims to:
- create, through a joint Italian-Chinese teaching and a period of training both in Italy and in China, a class of engineers that, highly exposed to technology and business cultures of both countries, will strengthen the bonds existing between them and meets the needs of the Italian economy;
- create job opportunities in companies operating at international level.
Extra-UE Exchange with China
