Master in Electronics Engineering at Polytechnic University of Milan

About the programme

Electronics Engineering is a two-year master's degree (laurea magistrale) in class LM-29, worth 120 ECTS and run by the School of Industrial and Information Engineering at the Milano Leonardo campus in Milan. It is taught in English.

The degree board describes its aim as building on the bachelor's and expanding engineering knowledge in electronic design. Graduates learn to design analog and digital circuits and integrated circuits, develop complex multi-technology products, and design embedded and smart systems that combine sensors, analog-to-digital conversion, signal processing and power management. It suits graduates in electronics or a closely related branch of information engineering.

What you will study

The first year concentrates on circuit and system design. Units in the 2026/27 course list include:

• Analog Circuit Design and Mixed-Signal Circuit Design
• Digital Integrated Circuit Design
• Digital Electronic Systems Design and Electronic Systems
• RF Circuit Design
• Power Electronics
• Electron Devices and Microelectronic Technologies
• MEMS and Microsensors
• Signal Recovery, Biochip and Electronics Design for Biomedical Instrumentation

Beyond these, a long list of electives covers areas such as quantum technologies, photonics, biomedical electronics, artificial intelligence and communications. Almost every unit in the list is taught in English.

How the programme is taught

The second year leaves room for electives and ends with the thesis and final exam. The degree board's website also has sections on internships and on scholarships for students of the course.

Career paths

According to the degree board, electronics engineers can bring electronics to every sector that benefits from intelligent systems, working in companies, research and development centres, laboratories and start-ups. The course content points to work in:

• Analog, mixed-signal and RF integrated circuit design
• Digital and embedded system design
• Power electronics and power management
• Sensors, MEMS and biomedical instrumentation
• Research and development in microelectronics

Fees and scholarships

There is no separate fee for Electronics Engineering: the Politecnico's yearly fee rules apply, and the 2026/27 details are on its tuition fees page. Politecnico di Milano runs the DSU right-to-study scholarship itself. Students who meet the merit and financial-need conditions can apply, and the university decides the awards.

How to apply from outside the EU

First-year units assume a solid grounding in circuits and electron devices, so your bachelor's should be closely related to electronics; the Politecnico checks this fit for every foreign degree.

Graduates of foreign universities apply through the international admissions route. The foreign-qualification requirements ask for a degree giving access to EQF level 7, a grade average at or above your country's minimum, and an English certificate or an English-taught bachelor's. Once admitted, you complete the Universitaly pre-enrolment, apply for a type D study visa and provide a Diploma Supplement, declaration of value or CIMEA statement before enrolment.
