Hello everybody! My name is Nemanja Bakovic. I’m a second-year Master of Science student of the School of Design of the Politecnico di Milano The title of my programme is Product Service System Design. It’s the only School of Design programme taught completely in English, as opposed to the other programmes which are taught in Italian This programme is quite distinctive due to the fact that it is in English and because it teaches a specific field called Strategic Design It’s very interesting because there are many international students from all over the world In fact I think that the greatest benefit I have had here are my friends who are very international The faculty are also very diverse in nationality, from leading Italian experts in this field authors of some of the most important books on Service Design to visiting professors who come from New York, Chicago and other cities all over the world I particularly like the fact that when enrolling in this university there is a good chance of being awarded various types of scholarships For example, I was granted a scholarship to cover my living expenses in Milan and I think that’s one of the most important factors which influence a student to go and study abroad Before this course I studied architecture and decided to make a minor change to my field of study because we all know that there’s a crisis in architecture The Politecnico di Milano is one of the few universities that teach strategic design and is perhaps one of the best universities in Europe and the world that offer this programme What else can I say? I should mention that life in Milan is very interesting and the city is very dynamic. The University and the School are organised in two campuses one is called Leonardo and is in the very city centre, the other, called Bovisa, is located in north-west Milan, and is where all the courses of the School of Design are based and where all student life takes place. I’m now doing an internship at an international company which Politecnico di Milano organised for me via its Career Service I just have my thesis left. When I graduate, I don’t know exactly what job I will do or where but I must admit that many doors have opened for me by coming to this University If you’re considering enrolling in this School, prepare yourself well, and brush up your languages Good knowledge of English is the most important thing, and it’s also very important to know at least basic Italian for life in Milan. Good luck with your application and perhaps we’ll meet here in the near future. Thank you!
