The QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023 confirms the University's excellence in Design, Architecture and Engineering.
Milan, March 14 2023 – Politecnico di Milano is among the top 20 universities in the world in Design, Architecture and Engineering according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023, the global ranking of the best universities by subject area.
In Design and Architecture, the Politecnico keeps its position among the top 10 universities in the world, in 8thand 10th place respectively. As far as Engineering is concerned, the Politecnico is among the top 20 universities in the world, in 18th place, in a highly competitive international environment where it is difficult to remain durably in the top positions. In line with the trend of the last 10 years the Politecnico reaffirms its status as a university capable of promoting scientific and technological research and innovation and contributing to sustainable and inclusive development.
Compared with 2022, the Politecnico recorded important advances in the ranking in: Computer Science (+16); Mechanical, Aeronautical & Manufacturing (+6), Engineering - Electrical & Electronic (+1) Mathematics (+25), Material Sciences (+20), Environmental Sciences (+21), Physics & Astronomy (+29).
This result has been achieved mainly thanks to Politecnico's excellent reputation (Academic and Employer Reputation), corroborated by the positive opinions of employers and other national and international universities. The Academic Reputation index, in particular, is the most relevant metric for the ranking (it makes up 40% of the final score) and is based on the evaluations of more than 150,000 academics from all over the world. Also noteworthy was the result obtained thanks to the new indexintroduced this year by QS: the IRN, which measures the level of international research collaboration.
In Italy, Politecnico di Milano remains the absolute frontrunner in Architecture and Design and in almost all engineering subjects (Computer Science and Information Systems; Chemical Engineering; Civil and Structural Engineering; Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Mechanical, Aeronautical and Manufacturing Engineering).

Politecnico di Milano is a scientific-technological university which trains engineers, architects and industrial designers.
The University has always focused on the quality and innovation of its teaching and research, developing a fruitful relationship with business and productive world by means of experimental research and technological transfer.
Research has always been linked to didactics and it is a priority commitment which has allowed Politecnico Milano to achieve high quality results at an international level as to join the university to the business world. Research constitutes a parallel path to that formed by cooperation and alliances with the industrial system.
Knowing the world in which you are going to work is a vital requirement for training students. By referring back to the needs of the industrial world and public administration, research is facilitated in following new paths and dealing with the need for constant and rapid innovation. The alliance with the industrial world, in many cases favored by Fondazione Politecnico and by consortiums to which Politecnico belong, allows the university to follow the vocation of the territories in which it operates and to be a stimulus for their development.
The challenge which is being met today projects this tradition which is strongly rooted in the territory beyond the borders of the country, in a relationship which is developing first of all at the European level with the objective of contributing to the creation of a single professional training market. Politecnico takes part in several research, sites and training projects collaborating with the most qualified European universities. Politecnico's contribution is increasingly being extended to other countries: from North America to Southeast Asia to Eastern Europe. Today the drive to internationalization sees Politecnico Milano taking part into the European and world network of leading technical universities and it offers several courses beside many which are entirely taught in English.
