The MSc program requirements are expressed in credit points.
A credit point is the unit of measurement which determines the workload students are required to fulfill. It is assumed that students are adequately prepared from the start to carry out the educational activities required by the degree program. The workload includes classroom activities (lessons, exercises, seminars) and individual study.

In accordance with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), on average one credit point corresponds to 25 hours of work for the student; about 8 hours are spent in the classroom.

The average workload for a full-time student is set at 60 credit points per year as per agreement.

To graduate, MSc students must have acquired 120 credit points.

The credit points assigned to each individual educational activity are earned when students pass the exam or when their progress is verified in other ways required by the activity.

2.1.1.
Preparatory courses

Università Bocconi offers preparatory courses held before the start of lessons. These courses are an important tool which helps students to face the subjects characterizing the first year of the Master of Science program.

As Master of Science Programs are more specific than the Bachelor Programs and as the composition of class groups is heterogeneous, the attendance is strongly recommended because they help all students enrolled to face the commitment of the university experience. The course profiles of Master of Science programs have been therefore created by considering the basic knowledge of the undergraduate programs acquired and known.


Detailed information is available in "Preparatory courses".

Compulsory courses

Every MSc program structure includes compulsory courses, relating  to exams that all students taking that degree must pass.


Compulsory courses are needed in order to satisfy program requirements and they represent the fundamental building blocks for achieving the educational objectives of the degree program.


This chapter contains a section concerning to each MSc program where students can find the detailed program structure with the list of all the compulsory courses and compulsory courses that can be chosen by the student, credit point value and position in the program.

Some study plans include compulsory courses and/or curriculum that can be freely chosen. For procedure see "Curricular choices of the first year of studies".

Students can receive credit for exams concerning each compulsory course taken at universities abroad as part of the programs offered by the International Relations Service, unless they are part of the list of not recognized exams.

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 concerning  each MSc program where students can find the detailed program structure with the number of electives scheduled.
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 course. The procedure is indicated in "First-year procedures, rules and administrative deadlines".

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

The "Incompatible courses table" indicates 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 related 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 indicated in "Credit for exams passed at universities abroad".

The course profiles are available together with specification of the course's instruction language (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 teachers on the first days of lessons.


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 programs) involve students carrying out individual research on topics decided upon with the Course Director of either a compulsory or elective provided for in the program structure or a PhD course entered in the study plan as higher level course. Student evaluation is based on the written assignment which is marked out of 30. To each course can be allocated one in-depth study worth a maximum of 3 credit points.

Compulsory courses, recommended majors, elective selection criteria and choice groups for each MSc program are listed below.

The educational offer for the 2017-2018 academic year will include an e-learning class group for some elective courses already taught in the same semester with traditional methods.

The courses subdivided in modules are considered passed, and may be recorded in the student academic career and certified, only after passing both exams of which it is made up. The final grade is obtained by the grade point average of the two marks compared to the credits and rounded up if decimals are equal or higher than 5, rounded down if they are lower than 5.

It is furthermore specified that the credit points and the grades earned for the single modules passed will be taken into account for rankings within the University (e.g. ISU Scholarship, selection for International Programs...) and they can be viewed by printing the unofficial academic transcript at the Punto Blu.

Some opportunities to study abroad such as Exchange programs lasting a semester and Double Degree Programs are offered (see "International opportunities").

For detailed information about foreign languages see "Foreign languages".

During the second year of studies students choose 3 elective courses which correspond to the 18 credit points regarding  the activities chosen by the students - concerning  the personalized academic major (free track) or one of the following recommended majors:


  • Big data and business analytics (major D);
  • Green Management and Sustainability (major A);
  • IT consulting (major B);
  • Technology and Innovation Management (major C).


The Program Director is available during office hours to provide more information concerning the program structure. Student office hours are published on the website at www.unibocconi.eu/officehours

It should be noted that while adhering to the educational objectives of the MSc Program and of the ministerial tables concerning the field of study of Economics, the program structure may be subject to slight variations decided on by the Organs of administration.
