PhD in Electrical Engineering

The Polytechnic is a public scientific and technological university that trains engineers, architects, and designers. It has always focused on quality and innovation in teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with the economic and productive reality through experimental research and technology transfer. It also aims to be a solid, recognizable, and reliable reference point for sustainable development in Italy and in Europe.

Research is increasingly linked to teaching and constitutes a priority commitment that allows the Polytechnic of Milan to achieve high-level international results and to facilitate the meeting between the university and the business world. Research activities also represent a parallel path to cooperation and alliances with the industrial system.

Understanding the world in which one will operate is an essential requirement for student training. Engaging with the needs of the productive, industrial, and public administration sectors helps research to explore new grounds and to confront the necessity of constant and rapid innovation. The alliance with the industrial world, often fostered by the Polytechnic Foundation and consortia involving the Polytechnic, allows the university to support the vocation of the territories in which it operates and to stimulate their development.

The challenge being faced today projects this tradition of strong territorial roots beyond the country's borders, in a dialogue that develops primarily at the European level with the aim of contributing to the creation of a "single market" for education. The Polytechnic participates in numerous research and training projects collaborating with the most qualified European and international universities, from North America to Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe. Today, the push for internationalization sees the Polytechnic of Milan participating in the European and global network of leading technical universities and offering numerous exchange programs and dual degree opportunities, as well as various study courses entirely in English.
