Politecnico di Torino

Polytechnic of Turin helps graduate students finding interesting job and internship opportunities which mainly concern local companies based in Piedmont region but also businesses in other Italian areas and abroad countries. The university website portal offers a specific personal section with job, thesis project and internship boards which is very useful and intuitive in order to apply for the available open positions. Furthermore the atheneum organises several free meetings and events to help students understanding their career perspectives, learning the useful tools for presenting themselves and getting in touch with potential future employers.

The experience at the Politecnico was not entirely positive. Certainly, it is a prestigious university at national level, less at world level, which allows to have a very good preparation from a theoretical point of view and also to have experiences in a foreign country. But, unfortunately, the workshops that are carried out during the course of study are few and, in many cases, not very useful. there is also a problem related to the courses held during the three-year degree, since, in the case of materials engineering, some of them are not entirely relevant or, in any case, do not fully prepare for a possible master's degree. in the end, there isn't eough time during the study period to look for traineeships experience that could be useful for the students future.
