This first-of-its-kind, dual degree agreement allows graduate students from the University of Windsor and Politecnico di Torino in Italy to participate in cutting-edge research and development projects while completing two master’s degrees in two countries.
The Windsor-Torino dual degree program offers a post-graduate level, international engineering education that addresses challenges and new strategies in the automotive sector. While earning a Master of Applied Science degree from the University of Windsor and a Laurea Magistrale degree from the Politecnico di Torino, students will receive solid professional training and the practical experience necessary to work in a competitive global environment.
After completing an undergraduate degree, students accepted into the program will begin with one year of graduate study in Windsor taking courses and working on a research thesis. Students will then travel to the Politecnico di Torino, where they will complete their master’s degree with an additional year of study and the completion of their research thesis. The entire program is conducted in English. The program starts in September and is typically completed over two years.
