Unfortunately, no. While we have clear windows for recruiting (see next question), sometimes the departments might choose to start recruiting at other times

There are two windows, the first one in September and another one around March. During the second window not every department might be looking for new members

No. We welcome everybody from any faculty

Each department is looking for different skills. While we can't tell you exactly what to study for, looking for the requirements at the bottom of the page of each department should give you a guideline. Don't worry; drive and interest, at times, are even more important than past skills. Even if you feel like your skills are not enough, you might still want to give it a try

Yes. You must be an enrolled student at Politecnico di Milano. Aside from that, each department has different requirements (see the previous question)

The entrance test is different for each department. It typically includes a written test and an oral evaluation

This is mostly up to you. However, depending on the department, we might expect a commitment of at least 6-8 hours a week

Yes. In September, we travel to Roccaraso (AQ) in order to test our rocket (and make it fly). Participation is not mandatory, but it's a nice experience. We also sometimes organize smaller trips for some tests

Right now, We have 7 departments : Aerodynamics, Avionics, Media, Logistics, Propulsion, Recovery, and Structure, which are set up in IPTs (integrated project teams). These are the teams that carry out the practical and technical work. Our list of "departments" on this website is actually referring to the IPTs
