Architectural Design and HistoryMaster of Science
SubjectsMission and goals
Architectural Design and History
The environment we live in nowadays is very complex and the architect is forced to work on the existing heritage paying particular attention to its sustainability and considering the enviroment together with the built heritage as a resource to protect. The new MSc programme “Architectural Design and History” is offering a study plan based on this very attitude. Its mission is to train students to be cultured architects, well-aware of the historic and artistic context in which they work as well as of the other cultural fields. New designs shall be included in and compared to the already existing ones. The respect of the built heritage is the starting point for the new design to become a reutilization project, a requalification project, sometimes even completion and new integration.The programme is entirely taught in English.

Contents of the M.Sc. Programme
Organization of teaching and exams
The Master of Science programme is divided into two semesters, providing students with the option to enroll in each semester. Therefore, the course of study may begin in the first semester or second semester of each academic year.
1st Semester• 06/10/2014 beginning of 1st semester lessons• 30/01/2015 end of 1st semester• 02/02/2015 - 27/02/2015 examinations2nd Semester• 09/03/2015 beginning of 2nd semester lessons• 26/06/2015 end of 2nd Semester• 29/06/2015 – 31/07/2015 examinations
At the end of each semester there is a period devoted to exam assessments, at the end of which students may:• pass the course, with the assignment of marks;• be told to resit the exam, with a subsequent assessment;• be required to repeat, in this case the exam cannot be repeated in the same session.
Internationalization
All students intending to take part in an international exchange programme are invited to visit their relevant Studesk during the month of January to receive information on study abroad opportunities. The Studesk provides students with information on available places suited to their degree programme, necessary requirements, application procedures, deadlines and selection criteria. Students may also consult the information material on partner universities.
Assessment of learning
Suitable forms of coordination are used to guarantee the uniformity of the learning assessment methods and their scheduling between all sections of the same course,according to the directives of the Master of Science Degree Programmes. At the beginning of the academic year, each lecturer will communicate the learning assessment methods, the contents of the exam and the assessment criteria. Three exam sessions are planned for each module (courses and workshops). Each exam session will be held on at least two dates, both at the student’s disposition. Final year students must take the exam on the first date to allow enough time for graduation registration procedures to be completed within the planned deadline.
Study Plans
Each student is responsible for submitting an individual study plan. The School considers the plan to be a reference document for all intents and purposes. Its contents also attest to the conformity of the choices made by the student with the standards set by legal regulations and the provisions of the Regulations of the Degree Programme.
The minimum number of credits for which students may enroll each year is 30 (15 for students entering in March); students are permitted to enroll in courses for a maximum of 80 credits per year (40 for students entering in March).
N.B.: Students are strongly encouraged to save and print the plan of study submitted. Requests for changes to study plans will not accepted. The presentation of the study plan is final and must be completed in accordance with the time limits and the manner set out in these Regulations.
Late fees
By resolution of the Board of Directors, a late fee of 100.00 Euros will apply for failure to submit a study plan by the due date stated in the Academic Calendar. The penalty will be applied to the second installment of tuition fees.
Activities chosen by the student
These activities may be chosen from those offered as part of, or outside, the M.Sc. Programme. The former are considered to be automatically approved. Any other choices or initiatives (seminars, workshops or others) must be authorized in advance by the Board of the School. A number of optional courses are offered by the Programme both in the 1st and 2nd semesters. These courses may be chosen both by students enrolling in October and those enrolling in March. Each semester, Study Programmes offer Workshop activities that can be chosen by students. While learning credits are given for these courses, they are not subject to assessment. Students can include up to 8 credits of workshops in their study plan.
Workshops
Students may add 1 course identified as a workshop. All regularly enrolled students can add up to 2 workshops for a maximum of 8 credits. Repeating students are only allowed to add one workshop for 4 credits.
Internships
The School cooperates with professional associations, public administrations, regional bodies and businesses, to organize outside internships to guarantee students the possibility of earning the credits envisaged in the university education system. The rules for the length of the internship will be defined by the Programmes, according to the School’s regulations. The University also organizes grants for Erasmus internships abroad.
Online presentation of theses
Students may submit their theses online with different deadlines and procedures from those previously implemented. The thesis can only be submitted once, and only in its final version: once submitted the thesis may not be replaced by an updated version.All regulations related to the submission of theses are available on the www.tedoc.polimi.it website.
Self-certification of passing of examinations
If, when submitting a study plan, an exam has already been taken (for which the marks are already known) but has not yet been recorded in the student’s career record, the student may issue a self-certification stating that the exam has been passed. Students are not permitted to self-certify courses for which the exam has not yet been taken when compiling their study plans. Students who provide false statements will be prevented from registering for the exam session for which the self-certification was made. For workshops, students will not be allowed to include the workshop on their study plan until the next academic year.
Changes to Study Plans
From 27/02/2015 to 05/03/2015, changes may be made to study plans. Changes may be made only to the courses offered in the second semester as follows:• change optional courses;• add single subject or integrated courses, sub-divided alphabetically.It will not be possible to remove, add or modify Workshop sections.
N.B.: Since the timetable of the lessons is published before the beginning of the academic year, students are advised to verify that the times of their optional courses do not conflict with the scheduling of the courses included on their plans.
Conclusion of the study programme and graduation
Students intending to graduate must have earned all the credits related to the courses listed in the M.Sc. Programme Bulletin, including:• credits related to activities chosen by the students;• 6 credits related to internships;• 8 credits related to degree activities.
