One bad news, one good news.
The bad news is that the Politecnico di Milano has become more difficult to apply this year, with the GPA requirement rising from 70% to 80%, which is equivalent to 3.0/4.0.
The good news is that Milley has more international quotas for architectural design majors than any other major.

That is to say, although Milli is becoming more and more demanding, but.
And Milley is ranked 7th in this year's QS construction rankings, and the employment rate is also very high, so let's take a look together.
Let's start with the data
Students who are familiar with Milley know that Milley has its own employment service system, namely CareerService.
Thanks to the long-term relationships with internationally renowned companies, this system has been serving Milley students for nearly 20 years, and the system continues to provide different types of job opportunities around the world for current students to choose and reference.

Why architecture
Everyone knows that Milley's design graduates basically don't have to worry about employment, so why has architecture become the leader among many design majors (architecture, interior, landscape and other related majors are classified as major in architecture according to Milley's statistics)?
In addition to Milly's employment support, Milly's curriculum is also a very important reason. Let's look at Milley's master's degree and master's degree separately:
For the master's degree, Milley offers nine English-taught programs, including: Architectural Design, Environmental Interior, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Sustainable Architecture, etc.

In the course descriptions of various directions, we can see a large number of teaching contents related to employability and industry needs, taking architecture and urban design as an example, in addition to basic courses, there are: To support students in their future careers in the industry, Milley also offers courses in public procurement law and environmental law.

In terms of professional and master's degrees, there are two main directions suitable for everyone to apply, both of which are taught in English:
- Architecture and sustainability: matter, quality, form
- Design for urban planning and heritage in the global south
For example, the project of Architecture and Sustainability: Material, Quality, and Form, this major is actually more about teaching students how to innovate on the basis of traditional building materials and give them more sustainability. Durable, sustainable building materials for construction companies. The purpose of training students is mainly to solve the problems of building materials that will be faced in the future, which seems to be a little ethereal, but it is actually very practical.

, good employment is a matter of course.
How to apply
First of all, as a Chinese applicant, it is a prerequisite to have a bachelor's degree related to the applied major and a GPA of more than 80.
polimi.it
It should be reminded that the School of Architecture and Design currently only accepts September admission, and there are two rounds of applications for the general September admission in September-November and January-March, so students who intend to apply need to arrange their time reasonably.
polimi.it
In addition to the usual size and format requirements, Milley also specifically mentioned the need to demonstrate keywords such as "diversity", "professional knowledge and skills", "personal opinion", and "clear statement".

Therefore, students should try different topics, design tools, interdisciplinary projects in the portfolio, and make better use of visual methods such as drawings and charts to explain the project.

Here is another reminder to everyone, the GPA requirements of Politecnico di Milano have increased this year, so if you want to apply to Milano, you must prepare early and brush up your GPA.
In addition, in addition to GPA, the quality of the portfolio is also an important factor to measure whether you can be admitted, and a portfolio can also apply to multiple colleges, so I also hope that everyone will pay attention to the portfolio, even if you can't be admitted to Milley, you can apply more.
In fact, on the road to applying for overseas universities, you have to make a trick. Sometimes, if you ask more professional people and ask for more information, you can run a few meters more than others, and you can finally achieve better results.
If you have more questions about further education, or questions about postgraduate entrance examinations, art study abroad, doctoral applications, background improvement, and portfolio creation, please contact Mr. Kang Shishi.
