In the first half of 2020 there were 500 international freshmen from 70 countries around the world. Every year Politecnico organizes the WELCOME WEEK, a week of seminars and workshops together with professors and fellow students, also in collaboration with companies, during which new students also learn how to "survive" in Milan.
In the second semester, despite the pandemic situation, many international students enrolled at Politecnico di Milano. The Welcome Week, like all the other initiatives, is guaranteed also at a distance with a series of meetings and virtual seminars.
