2019-2020 A.Y.
Master of Science Programs (2-y)



2.1.2.2.
Educational activities chosen by students

Elective courses are chosen by students in order to complete their individual study plans, as provided for by the curriculum of studies, the major chosen, from  the group of courses offered by the University and/or offered in collaboration with other universities.
This chapter contains a section relating to each MSc program where students can find the detailed program structure with the number of electives required.
Elective courses are generally worth 6 credit points.

The choice of electives must be made at the start of the second year of studies for all programs with the exception of the ESS for which the choice must be made during the first year of the program. The procedure is specified in "First-Year Procedures, Rules and Administrative Deadlines".

Before choosing their electives, students should consult the "Table of incompatible courses" and the "Table of banned courses".

The "Incompatible courses table" specifies the courses that cannot be chosen together in the same study plan because their course programs are either exactly or partly similar. The "Banned courses table" indicates the courses that cannot be included together in a specific MSc program.

The exams relating to electives can be taken at universities abroad as part of the programs offered by the International Relations Service. The criteria and credit approval procedure is specified in "Credit for Exams Passed at Universities Abroad".

Course profiles are available with the specification of the language of instruction of the course (Italian and/or English) at www.unibocconi.eu/courses.

Detailed course programs (course syllabuses) are available online and  they are also generally given out in the classrooms by faculty on the first days of lectures.


Workshops are interdisciplinary activities. Student evaluation is exam based and marked out of 30 by the workshop professor. 

In-depth studies (only for students enrolled in the ESS MSc program) involve students carrying out individual research on topics decided upon with the Course Director

  • of a compulsory or elective provided for in the program structure and passed
  • of a PhD course entered in the study plan as Higher Level Course.


Student evaluation is based on a written assignment for each in-depth study, which is marked out of 30. One in-depth study can be allocated to each course, worth a maximum of 3 credit points; in order to have an in-depth study recorded in their study plan, students must contact the secretary's office of the Department of reference of the course chosen.
Compulsory courses, recommended majors, elective selection criteria and choice groups for each MSc program are listed below.

The educational offer for the 2019-2020 academic year will include an e-learning class group for some elective courses already taught in the same semester with traditional methods.
