For Academic year 2018/2019, the Doctoral School offers 16 courses pertaining to four research areas: Civil Engineering & Architecture, Information and Communications Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Physical, Chemical and Mathematical Sciences for Engineering.

The School Board approved a revision of modalities for accounting of training and research activities, applicable to enrolment of PhD students in XXIX and subsequent cycles. A system which calculates educational activities, publications and external activities has been defined (it is called "cruscotto"). For each of these issues, the Board of the School has defined a score to be obtained by the end of the three-year term of PhD programme. 

So the School has developed an accounting system of PhD activities, a summary and some FAQ about publications.

Politecnico di Torino recognizes also the number of hours you have attended in external technical and specialised courses and external courses on transferable skills.
