Politecnico di Milano is among the top 20 universities in the world in Architecture, Design and Engineering according to the QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023, the global ranking of the best universities by subject area.

In Design and Architecture, the Politecnico keeps its position among the top 10 universities in the world, in 8^th and 10^th place respectively. As far as Engineering is concerned, the Politecnico is among the top 20 universities in the world, in 18^th place, in a highly competitive international environment.
