The Bachelor of Science in Architectural Design aims at the formation of graduates mastering the theoretical fundamentals and the operational tools needed for designing architecture on its various scales, and paying attention to the conditions posed by the complexity of the transformation processes of the built environment.
The educational programme includes a wide disciplinary framework based on science, the humanities and arts, reflecting the wide spectrum of knowledge and skills required nowadays by an architect in order to adequately address the challenges, engaging him at an international level. Particularly relevant are the studies related to the disciplinary fields of history of architecture and art, representation and math, sociology, urban planning, architectural composition, architectural technology, building physics, statics and mechanics of materials and structures, historical building conservation, project evaluation. All the above mentioned fields are equally involved in the development of critical thinking skills as well as the mastery of techniques, needed for design activity.
There is a compulsory admission test (called 'ARCHED test') for the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme in Architectural Design and the single-cycle Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programme in Building Engineering-Architecture at Politecnico di Milano.
- In order to enter the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programmes delivered in Italian, it is mandatory to sit the ARCHED test in Italian
- In order to enter the Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programmes delivered in English, it is mandatory to sit the ARCHED test in English
