The Italian Campus was founded in March 2004. In Italy, ESCP Europe serves both students with Masters Programmes, and the business community, with a complete offer of executive education, applied research, and entrepreneurship services. The headquarters in Torino became an essential opportunity for our business school to move further to the companies on the Italian territory, which found in ESCP Europe Torino Campus a valuable partner for the training of their talents. The ESCP Europe Torino campus presents four distinctive characteristics. It is a young campus with the enthusiasm of a start-up and the phase of the healthy development of successful initiatives. Entrepreneurship, one of the critical values in which Torino campus believes in. This is fundamental for both; on the one hand, training managers and entrepreneurs able to make decisions also under challenging situations thanks to acquired skills and competences. On the other hand, by sustaining the development of entrepreneurial activities started by our students and alumni. Strong links with the business community are, for sure, one of the critical characteristics of the Italian Campus (over half of our activities are with the corporate world). This leads to a benefit for students, who can take advantage of the relationships of the School in the development of their academic and extra-academic curricula, for example, in terms of company projects, internships, applied research studies, entrepreneurial opportunities, and contributions of managers and professionals during the year. Academically, we offer you the highest international standards of ESCP Europe and its world-class certifications: EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA. In particular, we aim at preparing the next ruling class, a community of exceptional people trained to be capable of taking managerial decisions on behalf of their companies and institutions. With this purpose in mind, our didactics are centered on preparing you as a future decision-maker in a complex economic context. This means providing you with the necessary knowledge and, more importantly, the skills and attitudes required of such a role. Action learning has proven to be a robust methodology. We adopt it as much as possible by including in our didactics case studies and real-life situations, which can make you practice the role of decision-maker. This approach will provide you with excitement and learning opportunities. Teamwork is, therefore, another critical element of the equation, which you will practice from your very first class. To discover the many other reasons why the ESCP Europe is an established reality in the world of the management education and why it is worth doing a good experience in the Torino campus, we invite you to visit us, during the Opening Ceremony of the Academic Year or to the Grand Summer Gala at the end of the year.

Everyone in our community learns. We define learning as a process of making meaning through inquiry, thinking, experiences, feedback, and reflection. In the early 1960s, members of the foreign community residing in Turin sensed the need for a school that could provide an international education for their children. In 1963, a small group of employees from American and other internationally interested companies in Turin like FIAT, Michelin, and Westinghouse decided to organize schools with an American curriculum. Classes were originally set up in space at the Caselle Airport in Turin, then moved shortly thereafter to a small building on Via Cottolengo in the center of Turin. The school defined its original purpose as to offer international instruction using a North American model for the children of the foreign community residing in Turin. The school had an enrolment of ten children. Within five years the school had grown to 60 students representing twelve different nationalities and the decision was taken to move the school to expanded quarters at the Villa Virginia, near Superga, so that Middle School classes could be added, which it did in 1966. The school continued to seek qualifications from North American, European, and International Baccalaureate institutions. It maintains joint and full accreditation with the New England Association of Colleges and Schools (NEASC) and the Council of International Schools in Europe (CIS). In May 2006 ACAT-IST obtained authorization to offer the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB-PYP). In the summer of 2008, the school obtained authorization to offer the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (IB-MYP) making it the first school in Italy to offer all three IB programs and classifying IST as an IB World School.

Politecnico di Torino is known both in Italy and abroad as a leading institution to study engineering and architecture. Tradition combines with innovation to make its campus a stimulating environment offering a wealth of opportunities. Our University has around 32,000 students, with 50% from outside the region and about 15% foreign - the highest percentage in Italy. Our degrees are internationally recognized. Students can choose to follow degree courses taught in English or, thanks to our links with some of the most prestigious universities worldwide, undertake periods of study abroad as part of their course. Students choose Politecnico di Torino for its established reputation, being highly selective, and sometimes even "tough." However, we do reward students for merit and provide a strong basis for future career success. Students who are looking for a thorough education that is relevant to the job market or who are interested in research and a multidisciplinary approach will be attracted to what our University has to offer.

The "Cittadella Politecnica" is a new campus area where research, teaching, and training go hand in hand with local and student services as well as financial and cultural activities. It also houses the Business Research Center, where various international companies have established their most advanced research centers, and the Polo Venture Capital provides real opportunities for developing research. The new areas also contain classrooms, study rooms, a canteen, and a sports center which will open shortly. Politecnico di Torino is, therefore, a real research university, where education and research combine to meet the real needs of the local area and economy and, most importantly, those of the students. The structure of the Politecnico di Torino is composed of the University Governing Bodies and by the Teaching, the Scientific and the Administrative areas, according to the model specified in the Statute of 2011, in order to have a shared and efficient management.
