Opportunities for students

The collaboration between Politecnico di Milano and Xi’an Jiaotong University (XJTU) dates back to 2007 when Polimi welcomed a PhD student from XJTU School of Electrical Engineering. In 2012 the first double degree program for Master of Science students was launched in the field of Electrical Engineering, followed a few years later by the signing of mobility programs in all Politecnico’s disciplines (engineering, architecture and design). After the establishment of the Joint School the two institutions reached another level of collaboration by co-creating Bachelor programs with a strong innovative and interdisciplinary approach.

Below are the mobility programs currently available for Polimi and XJTU students. For each program you can read its first year of activation and the name of the Professor in charge.
