How to apply

To take part in study mobility and double degree programmes, students must apply through the Politecnico di Milano Call for International Mobility, which is published twice a year.

  • The first call, generally published in November, includes study mobility and double degree opportunities available for the following academic year.
  • The second call, generally published in April, covers any remaining study mobility opportunities and possible new agreements. Mobility periods assigned through the second call may take place during the second semester of the relevant academic year.

Available places, eligibility requirements, selection criteria and deadlines may vary depending on the programme and academic year. It is therefore important to always consult the Call for International Mobility and check the conditions that apply to your Degree Programme.

These include nomination to Xi’an Jiaotong University, the application required by the partner university, travel arrangements and the preparation of the documents required for the stay, as well as completion of the OLA (Online Learning Agreement).
