GENERAL (all applicants): a Bachelor's degree (EQF level 6) or equivalent qualification giving access to second-cycle studies, plus 'suitable academic performance', plus curricular requirements, plus English B2. The programme is uncapped, so there is no fixed number of places and no non-EU quota published. NON-ITALIAN QUALIFICATION TRACK: (1) hold a Bachelor's degree (EQF 6) or equivalent awarded by an accredited foreign university, obtained after at least 15 years of previous education (primary + secondary + university); an 'equivalent academic qualification' means being enrolled in a foreign 5- or 6-year single-cycle programme, not yet graduated, with at least 15 years of global schooling (minimum 3 years at university level) and at least 180 ECTS or equivalent (pre-university/preparatory years excluded). (2) Meet curricular and quality requirements; an Academic Committee verifies the adequacy of the candidate's preparation and the consistency between the M.Sc. and the previous university career. (3) Recommended background per the official A.Y. 2026/2027 COURSE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS table (field of study: Territorial Sciences): Information Technology and Computer Sciences, Architecture, Landscape Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Urban Engineering, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, Building Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Economics and Accounting, Public Policy and Public Management, Media and Arts, Geography. The programme explicitly states that 'a background in computer science and ICT is welcome but it is not required' and that 'Students with a background in any field of Engineering, Architecture, Communication and Media Studies, Economics, Environmental and Geographic Sciences, Public Management, Social Sciences, Urban and Regional Planning, are recommended to apply.' No minimum GPA is published for this track ('Do I need to have achieved a minimum score at the end of my previous curriculum? To be considered eligible ... candidates must comply with the requirements (previous education + language) listed every academic year'), but a GRE General Test score report may be uploaded as an optional document to strengthen the application. ITALIAN QUALIFICATION TRACK (a.y. 2026/27, Architecture Area): CURRICULAR REQUIREMENTS are expressed as minimum ECTS in two groups of Italian disciplinary sectors - 1st GROUP, minimum 25 CFU: MAT/03, MAT/05, MAT/07, MAT/08, MAT/09, FIS/01, ING-INF/05, INF/01, ING-IND/35, IUS/10, SECS-P/02, SECS-P/07, SECS-P/08, SPS/04, SPS/08, SPS/10 (new codes: MATH-02/B, MATH-03/A, MATH-04/A, MATH-05/A, MATH-06/A, PHYS-01/A, PHYS-03/A, IINF-05/A, INFO-01/A, IEGE-01/A, GIUR-06/A, ECON-02/A, ECON-06/A, ECON-07/A, GSPS-02/A, GSPS-06/A, GSPS-08/B); 2nd GROUP, minimum 45 CFU: ICAR/06, ICAR/08, ICAR/12, ICAR/14, ICAR/18, ICAR/20, ICAR/21, ICAR/22, L-ART/06, M-GGR/01, M-GGR/02, SPS/07, SPS/09, SECS-P/01, SECS-P/06, SECS-P/09, SECS-P/10, SECS-S/01, SECS-S/03, SECS-S/06, ING-IND/10, ING-IND/11, ING-IND/16, ING-IND/22, M-PSI/01, M-STO/04 (new codes: CEAR-04/A, CEAR-06/A, CEAR-08/C, CEAR-09/A, CEAR-11/A, CEAR-12/A, CEAR-12/B, CEAR-03/C, PEMM-01/B, GEOG-01/A, GEOG-01/B, GSPS-05/A, GSPS-08/A, ECON-01/A, ECON-04/A, ECON-09/A, ECON-08/A, STAT-01/A, STAT-02/A, STAT-04/A, IIND-07/A, IIND-07/B, IIND-04/A, IMAT-01/A, PSIC-01/A, HIST-03/A). Credits of a sector present in both groups count first towards Group 1, residual credits towards Group 2, and a single course's credits may be split between the two groups. If at most 10 credits are missing the Academic Advisor may admit the candidate anyway; if more than 10 are missing the file goes to the Coordinator/Deputy Coordinator of the Collegio. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE (Italian track): applicants from universities other than the University of Turin need a weighted average grade >= 25/30, calculated on all graded credits (out of 30) counting towards the Bachelor's degree after subtracting the worst 28 credits, without rounding; applicants from the Universita degli Studi di Torino are admitted if time-to-graduation <= 4 years regardless of average, or 4-5 years with average >= 24/30, or > 5 years with average >= 25/30. Candidates who do not meet these thresholds must sit the admission interview. Applicants who lack curricular requirements can enrol in 'single courses for unfulfilled academic requirements' (only if 60 credits or fewer are missing) and must pass those exams before enrolling in the master's. Italian-track applicants may apply before graduating provided they have earned at least 140 ECTS by July 2026.
English at CEFR B2 minimum; no Italian language requirement (the programme is entirely in English). The official 'A.Y. 2026/2027 COURSE-SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS' table sets the minimum score for this programme at IELTS 5.5 (the PoliTo B2 threshold). PoliTo's general rule for English-taught master's programmes is 'English level B2 or higher'. Accepted certificates and minimum scores per the PoliTo table of 23/09/2019 (last updated January 2026): IELTS Academic or General Training 5.5
Pearson Test of English Academic 59
TOEFL iBT 72 if taken before 21/01/2026, or 'Total 4' if taken on/after 21/01/2026 (new scoring scale)
Sınav / değerlendirme
Depends on the track. (A) Applicants with a NON-ITALIAN qualification: NO entrance test and NO interview. The programme's own FAQ states: 'Do I need to pass an entrance test? No. International candidates are selected through evaluation of documents only'. Admission is decided by an Academic Committee purely on the submitted documents (transcript, degree, syllabus, language certificate). No portfolio is required for this programme (unlike the PoliTo Architecture and Urban Planning master's programmes), and the syllabus/course descriptions are marked 'Syllabus Optional' in the official 2026/2027 course-specific requirements table. (B) Applicants with an ITALIAN qualification: an admission test IS required, but ONLY for candidates who do not meet the weighted-average-grade threshold described under academic_requirements. The test is an ORAL INTERVIEW assessing academic performance, covering: action programmes for achieving the sustainable development goals; strategies and initiatives for the digital transition in urban agendas; basic elements of information technology; elements of territorial information systems. For 2026/2027 it is held in person at 2:00 p.m. in Aula Astengo, Castello del Valentino - on 8 September 2026 for first-semester admission (results 10 September 2026) and on 27 January 2027 for second-semester admission (results 29 January 2027). Results are published in the 'Evaluations' section of the candidate's Apply@polito page. Applicants with disability or a specific learning disability (DSA) may request support from the Special Needs Unit.
Apply@polito, applicants with a NON-ITALIAN qualification (a.y. 2026/2027) - compulsory documents are marked *: (1) Passport* (other IDs accepted only for EU nationals; only Latin-alphabet IDs, otherwise an official English/Italian translation)
(2) Residence permit* (only for non-EU citizens living in Italy)
All dates and requirements shown are for the 2026/27 academic year; Politecnico di Torino has not published its 2027/28 calls yet.
The programme's former website (https://digitalskills.polito.it/en) is no longer online. The statement that applicants with a non-Italian qualification take no entrance test comes from an archived copy of that site captured on 27 October 2025; Politecnico di Torino's current pages describe a document-based evaluation for these applicants, while its 2025/26 academic regulations mention an oral interview for applicants whose academic performance is not satisfactory.
For applicants with an Italian degree, the 2026/27 requirements page applies the time-to-graduation rule to graduates of the University of Turin, while the 2025/26 academic regulations apply the same rule to graduates of Politecnico di Torino.
Politecnico di Torino's admission page for non-Italian qualifications links an older table of accepted English certificates (updated 22/12/2022); the scores shown follow the January 2026 table, which sets 'Total 4' instead of 72 for TOEFL iBT tests taken after 21 January 2026.
The class LM-91 is confirmed on Politecnico di Torino's pages; the University of Turin course code 0902M21 could not be checked on an official page.
The fee rule for non-EU students cited in the sources (a yearly fee scaled to the GDP at purchasing power parity of the country of citizenship, at least EUR 600) comes from Politecnico di Torino's 2025/26 Tuition Fee Regulations; separate regulations apply for 2026/27.
