Preparation Strategy
Do's - Preparation Tips
- Apply for income-based tuition reduction through PoliTo's fee system (ISEE-U equivalent)
- Mention Turin's automotive/aerospace industry in your motivation letter — show you understand the ecosystem
- Highlight any hands-on engineering projects or industrial experience
- For automotive/aerospace: reference specific companies (Stellantis, Leonardo, Thales Alenia) and how they align with your goals
Don'ts - Common Mistakes
- Not checking prerequisite courses — PoliTo verifies against their curriculum structure
- Assuming English is not widely used — many master's are fully in English
- Overlooking income-based tuition reduction — even non-EU students qualify
