Studying Abroad
Internationalization at Bocconi University 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, Bocconi University is able to offer law students opportunities on a global scale.
The study abroad opportunities promoted by the University are presented in detail during ad hoc initiatives throughout the academic year during the Bocconi International Fair.
