At A Glance: Politecnico di Milano
Politechnico di Milano Milan - June 9, 2011
Of all the educational institutions we have visited during our time in Italy, Politecnico di Milano stands out as one of the most highly developed schools for students of engineering and design. Originally called "Istituto Tecnico Superiore", Politecnico was established in 1863. The school has an extensive history that has greatly influenced the way in which it operates to this day.
We were personally welcomed to Milan by the dean of the school, who explained to us the general layout of the Politecnico Network. Politecnico is divided into 7 different campuses that are scattered across Italy, each dedicated to a specific range of studies. We visited the Bovisa campus, which itself is divided into two campuses, one for industrial engineering and the other for design and architecture.
