The European HPC education ecosystem
EUMaster4HPC is a partnership of European universities, research centres, supercomputing centres and industrial partners leading educational activities, supported by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, with the mission to co-design the first pan-European education environment in High Performance Computing (HPC) and to define effective learning outcomes for Master’s Degree programmes in HPC ensuring education quality aligned with international standards and industry needs.
Starting from the academic year 2025/26, the Politecnico di Milano will no longer offer double degrees within EUMaster4HPC. However, through this partnership, we continue offering students a unique opportunity to join the European HPC education ecosystem that we are building with EUMaster4HPC.
By leveraging the EUMaster4HPC network of academic, industrial, and supercomputing partners, selected students can benefit from international exposure, workshops, summer schools, internships, and opportunities to carry on their master’s thesis abroad at one of our partner universities or supercomputing centres, ensuring a highly enriched educational journey.
You can enhance your studies at Politecnico di Milano with an international experience as EUMaster4HPC student, including:
- EUMaster4HPC workshops at partner universities and access to teaching resources
- Thematic Summer School and other initiatives such as international HPC challenges and the EuroHPC Summit
- Erasmus+ mobility for exams (if you have also been admitted through the Erasmus+ exchange calls to spend a semester abroad)
- Mobility periods as free mover for thesis abroad (visiting students at partner universities in Europe)
- Internship for thesis (in a company, research centre or supercomputing centre)
Please note these international learning activities do not lead to a double degree with Politecnico di Milano.
Applications
If you are interested in studying HPC Engineering at Politecnico di Milano and willing to enrich your education path with EUMaster4HPC, you should submit two distinct applications:
- to EUMaster4HPC through the EUMaster4HPC portal, selecting Politecnico di Milano as preferred university. Note: Polimi cannot be put in any double-degree combination.
- to Politecnico di Milano for the Laurea Magistrale in HPC Engineering (following the local application deadlines and procedures as set by Polimi)
Note: You can apply even if you haven’t completed your bachelor studies yet. You are expected to graduate from the bachelor by Autumn 2025 to be able to enrol for the master degree course in the first semester of academic year 2025/26.
If you need any support or more information on this European experience and to coordinate for admission, please get in contact with the programme manager Federico Schiepatti: federico.schiepatti@polimi.it
