POLI.design, founded by Politecnico di Milano, has access to the deep reservoir of multidisciplinary skills in the first and most important technical university in Italy.Together with the School of Design and the Department of Design, it forms the Politecnico di Milano Design System, which is a pool of resources, skills, facilities, and laboratories that is among the most important in the world.
The training courses on offer are structured around two degree levels, the Bachelor’s degree, and the two-year specialisation degree.
There is also a wide range of first level Master’s courses on offer, for those who have already obtained the three-year degree, and second level Master’s, for those who have already completed the specialisation degree. Finally, after completing the second level degree, it is possible to do a research doctorate in the Department of Design department, which is highly qualified in the field of training design researchers.
The Department of Design develops a range of research, training, consultation, and technology transfer services related to the manufacturing, management, service, and communication sectors that operate in the field of design, communication, and artistic innovation, and the interconnected divisions, such as technological assistance and services related to the various scientific cultural, social, and economic areas.
The cornerstone of POLI.design lies in the disciplines of design and of the related professions. This dimension of design is broader and more systematic than ever; it takes on strategic importance and contrasts not just with the product dimension, but also the dimension of communication, services, spaces, fashion, and events.
POLI.design and Design Library: a new partnership to promote the knowledge of design.
The campus of the School of Design and the headquarters of POLI.design are located in Bovisa, a district to the North of the city, not far from the city centre, in a place that is symbolic of the industrial Milan of the past. The district is currently undergoing a broad process of urban transformation, and is set to become a centre of excellence for higher education, research, and innovation.

I loved the modules we had in person but i think the initial part which was online could have been avoided and more lectures would be better.
My overall study experience has been both enriching and transformative. I really appreciated the supportive learning environment, especially the way instructors encouraged critical thinking and open discussion. The curriculum was well-designed, balancing theoretical knowledge with practical applications, which helped me better understand real-world scenarios. I also liked the availability of resources such as libraries, online materials, and peer collaboration opportunities. One of the highlights for me was the opportunity to work on projects and assignments that challenged me to apply what I learned. These experiences helped build my confidence and problem-solving skills. However, there are a few areas that could be improved. At times, the workload felt unevenly distributed, with some periods being quite overwhelming. Additionally, more industry exposure—such as guest lectures, internships, or hands-on workshops—would further enhance the learning experience and better prepare students for future careers. In summary, my study experience has been highly positive and rewarding. It has helped me grow academically and personally, while also equipping me with valuable skills for the future.
I have recently complete the degree of intermediate and my next goal is Bachelor's of Computer science
