Krystel – Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy: Semester 1, 2016<\/h1>\n

Dreaming of an Italian Exchange? Why not head to Milano?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Fashion capital of Italy and gelato to-die-for. But that’s not all Milan has to offer; here is a list of interesting facts about Milan, from QUT student Krystel who spent 6 months studying in this beautiful city.<\/p>\n

\"Piazza<\/a>
Piazza del Duomo (Milan Cathedral), Milan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first Politecnico university was established November 29, 1863, by Francesco Brioschi, a politician, mathematician and hydraulic engineer.<\/p>\n

Initially, the university was specific to Civil and Industrial Engineering only.<\/p>\n

It focused on scientific and technical teachings, and was based on the same model as German and Swiss polytechnic universities.<\/p>\n

1865, architecture joined the school.<\/p>\n

Students renamed the school \u2018The Brioschi Asylum\u2019 due to strict disciplinary provisions, and classes were held through from Monday to Saturday<\/p>\n

In the first year, there were only 30 students and seven auditors, and the first graduates reduced to 25 students.<\/p>\n

The first female student enrolled 1888, however, the first female to graduate was not until 1913.<\/p>\n

Female student enrolment increased over the years, however, in the mid 1940s, out of approximately 9500 graduates, only just over 100 females graduated.<\/p>\n

At the end of the 1990s, women accounted for over 50% of the students registered in Industrial Design.<\/p>\n
