Studying Abroad
Internationalization at Università Bocconi has been a strategic priority pursued since 1974, the year in which the first international agreements were put into place. Over the years these programs have developed an extensive network of affiliations and exchanges with prestigious academic and cultural institutions all over the world, including the recent formation of a special network of partner institutions in the field of law. Constant collaboration between Bocconi and foreign universities on research and joint teaching projects provide Bocconi students and teaching staff with invaluable international experience. Thanks to its network of international affiliations, Università Bocconi is able to offer law students opportunities on a global scale.

Exchange program
The Università Bocconi "Exchange Program" (including the LLP-Erasmus Program) deals with student exchanges under bilateral agreements with many universities in the world, giving students the opportunity to attend courses for which they can receive credit as part of their Bocconi degrees. There are more than 50 School of Law included in the network which are specially addressed to the Integrated Master of Arts in Giurisprudenza [Law] and they are some of the most renowned institutions in the field of law. The agreements are based on reciprocal arrangements that allow students from both institutions involved to complete a period of study abroad without paying extra university fees and tuition to the partner institution. Students are, however, responsible for travel, insurance, board and lodging expenses.
