(*) No curricular courses of Portuguese have been scheduled for the 2008-2009 a. y. because of the limited number of students with this language in their study plan. However, a guideline to prepare for the final exam has been published on the website site at www.unibocconi.it/languagecentre.
The course level to be attended is determined when finalizing the enrolment (15-26 September 2008). This is based on the student's language skills which can be certified by either the exit level achieved during the undergraduate degree or the international certification that has been obtained in the meantime and recognized by Università Bocconi. The lowest level course will be assigned if students have not handed in adequate documentation supporting their language level.
Courses suggested by the University according to basic language level are listed below:

Curricular courses last one year of studies. Each course begins at the start of the II semester in the first year and finishes at the end of the I semester in the second year for a total of 72 hours of lessons.
Attendance at curricular courses is not compulsory but strongly recommended; attending courses is considered the most effective way of learning the language and preparing for the final exam.
Students enrolled in the course are encouraged to attend.
Active participation at curricular courses and individual study may award a maximum of 2 extra points to the final exam grade (detailed information is given in the course syllabuses and exam requirements for each language and is available on the Internet site at www.unibocconi.it/languagecentre in Language Teaching).
The class timetable can be viewed at Punto Blu terminals or Virtual Punto Blu, for first year students after finalizing the enrolment, for second year students after enrolling in their year of studies.
The summarized course programs (course profiles) of the language modules are available on the website at www.unibocconi.it/courses.
The detailed course programs (course syllabuses and exam requirements) are available on the website at www.unibocconi.it/languagecenter.
One B2-level English class group has been programmed in first semester of the 2008-2009 a. y. This class group will review the language basics and provide first year students with the best possible preparation to take on the curricular course which is scheduled in the II semester.
Five hours of classroom teaching per week are planned which should be integrated by individual study, according to the teacher's instructions.
Students can sign up for class groups online via the yoU@B student diary (sign up for "Various Activities") when finalizing the enrolment.
Applications will be accepted until enrollment capacity is reached (a maximum of 100 applicants) on a first come basis.
The class group is run if the minimum number of applicants is reached.
