In 2004, the Politecnico di Milano and the Politecnico di Torino launched the Alta Scuola
Politecnica (ASP), an honours programme focused on multidisciplinarity and innovation.
Since then, twenty cycles of ASP studies have been activated.

ASP is a school for young and exceptionally talented students, with a passion for
innovation, who wish to develop their potential in a multidisciplinary community. ASP
fosters new approaches aimed at developing tailored education by engaging students
into personalized learning programmes. ASP selects 150 students per year, among the
top 5% applicants to Master Degree programmes in Engineering, Architecture and Design
at Politecnico di Milano (PoliMi) and Politecnico di Torino (PoliTo).

This year the ASP Opening (20th cycle) and Graduation Ceremony (18th cycle) is an
opportunity to celebrate those who have successfully completed a demanding and
intense path, and also to reflect about the unique features of the ASP programme, that
combines the robustness of deep vertical education - provided by the Master Degree
programs at Politecnico di Milano and Politecnico di Torino - with the richness and
openness of a horizontal interdisciplinary program - offered by ASP.
