GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

 

For the 2007-2008 a.y., the Economics Faculty will offer 9 undergraduate degree programs.

 

1) The 8 undergraduate degree programs below are part of the Undergraduate School.

• 5 undergraduate degree programs belonging to the Management field of study no. 17, Ministerial Decree, August 4, 2000:
  
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia aziendale [Business Administration] (CLEA);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia delle amministrazioni pubbliche e delle istituzioni internazionali [Management of Public Administration and International Institutions] (CLAPI);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia delle istituzioni e dei mercati finanziari [Institutions and Financial Markets Management] (CLEFIN);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia e legislazione per l'impresa [Law and Business Administration] (CLELI);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia per le arti, la cultura e la comunicazione [Economics and Management of Arts, Culture and Communication] (CLEACC);
  
• 3 undergraduate degree programs belonging to the Economics field of study no. 28, Ministerial Decree, August 4, 2000:
  
  - Undergraduate Degree in Discipline economiche e sociali [Economics and Social Sciences] (DES);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia dei mercati internazionali e delle nuove tecnologie [Economics of International Markets and New Technologies] (CLEMIT);
  - Undergraduate Degree in Economia e management internazionali - International Economics and Management (DIEM).

 

The University reform of 1999, through the joint agreement of the European Ministers of Education meeting  in Bologna, transformed the organization of the Italian university by changing the structure of the study plan of the degree programs in the fields of Economics and Management; from one long cycle of four years to the so-called 3 plus 2, structured in two cycles (undergraduate and graduate).

The result of a homogeneous course of studies in Europe was the free movement of students in the universities during their educational training and subsequently the movement of graduates in the world of work.

The two study cycles are to be considered separate; at the end of each, a final exam is required, as well as the awarding of a diploma and the certification of the title obtained.

Once the 3-year cycle has been completed the student can decide whether to enter the world of work or continue his university studies by enrolling in the graduate program  (Master of Science or a Specialized Master).

 

Since the start of the Università Bocconi graduate programs, the selection process has been distinct from the undergraduate one; therefore admission to an undergraduate degree program does not imply the automatic admission to a Master of Science program.

The selection criteria for the graduate programs are defined by the organs of administration during the annual plan of activities and are published on the Internet website and in the Bocconi information pack  before the candidates’ assessment procedure takes place.

 

 

2) The following undergraduate degree program, belonging to the Legal Studies field of study no. 31, Ministerial Decree, August 4, 2000, is part of the Università Bocconi School of Law:

 

• Undergraduate Degree in Scienze giuridiche [Law] (CLSG).

 

 

On average class groups are made up of 130 students each, except for the CLSG class groups which have approximately 150 students, and are structured in this way:

Degree program	Italian class groups	English class groups	Total no. of class groups
CLEA 3rd year	7	1	8
CLAPI 3rd year	1		1
CLEFIN 3rd year	2		2
CLELI 3rd year	1		1
CLEACC 3rd year	2		2
DES 3rd year	1		1
CLEMIT 3rd year	1		1
DIEM 2nd year (*) 3rd year		1 1	1 1
CLSG 3rd year	2		2

(*) Will run only for students who are part of the Bocconi-CEU agreement.

The program requirements are expressed in credit points.

A credit point (CP) is the unit of measurement which determines the workload required from each student with adequate initial preparation in order to carry out the educational activities required for the program structure. The amount of work required includes classroom teaching activities (lessons, exercises, seminars), individual study and other educational activities such as preparation of the final paper.

According to the ECTS system, each credit point corresponds to an average of 25 hours of work for the student, 8 of which (and no more than 10) are dedicated to classroom teaching activities.

The average workload required of a full-time student is fixed at 60 credit points per year as per agreement.

Therefore, in order to fulfil the program requirements each student must obtain 180 credit points.

Credit points are awarded for all educational activities carried out by students, including exams for both compulsory and elective courses, foreign language assessment tests, computer skills tests and the final paper.

Credit points do not replace exam marks but are awarded when the marks of exams that students have passed are registered.

Credit points and exam marks make up the academic transcripts of students.

It should be noted that in order to graduate, the university reform requires knowledge of 2 European Union languages, apart from Italian, for degree programs in the Economics and Management fields of study (first and second language), and at least 1 European Union language, apart from Italian, for degree programs in the Legal Studies field of study (first foreign language).

While adhering to the educational objectives concerning the program's field of study, the Undergraduate Degree in Economia delle amministrazioni pubbliche e delle istituzioni internazionali [Management of Public Administration and International Institutions] (CLAPI) has the following specific objectives:

• to provide a solid grounding in business and economic-political matters aimed at understanding the specific nature and relevance of the social, political and institutional contexts in which all administrative activities concerned with the protection of public interest take place. The graduates will therefore be able to analyze problems with the sensitivity needed to appreciate the effects that "non-market" decisional contexts have on the application of the principles and criteria of economic rationality;
• to adapt technical knowledge to the operational reality of local, national and international public administration;
• to ensure that students have mastered the methodology of analyzing the economic, legal, institutional and social contexts needed for understanding the development and impact of administrative decisions on, among others, public-private collaboration projects;
• to provide the necessary skills for dealing with the complexities of administrative management, organization and decisional processes;
• to develop the behavioural capacity of students and their understanding of the dynamic principles of groups and the processes concerned with decision-making, negotiating and knowledge accumulation;
• to acquire the ability to understand the repercussions of innovative technology in the public administration sectors;
• to develop creative and entrepreneurial organizational skills in public service sectors.  

 

Possible career opportunities are:

• in public, state, regional and local administrations;
• in local authorities, agencies and companies involved in the regulation, production and supply of public services (health, transport, utilities);
• international institutions;
• consultancy companies;
• non-profit institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), world associations and organizations dedicated to the representation of interests;
• companies with strong ties to public administration boards (for example, companies that supply goods and services).

 

The preparation acquired will allow graduates to continue in advanced studies in a variety of fields, immediately after graduation or after a period of employment.

 

Since the start of the Università Bocconi graduate programs, the selection process has been distinct from the undergraduate one; therefore admission to an undergraduate degree program does not imply the automatic admission to a Master of Science program.

• in-depth research in the specific areas of the planning and management of public administration on a local, regional, national and international scale, particularly in the second and third years;

Program Director:
Prof. Massimo Ceresa Gastaldo

Field of study:
Legal studies (no. 31, Ministerial Decree August 4, 2000)

 

While adhering to the educational objectives concerning the program's field of study, the Undergraduate Degree in Scienze giuridiche [Law] (CLSG) also has the following specific objectives:

• to provide knowledge of legal procedures and the cultural and technical basics for training jurists who work mainly for and/or in companies;
• to complete the legal training by providing basic economic, business and quantitative knowledge;
• to develop legal skills also in European and international contexts. 

The CLSG is basically a prerequisite for the Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLG-LS).

The main objective is to train graduates for traditional careers (magistrates, lawyers, notary publics) and in particular: as civil and penal magistrates who operate in the commercial, bankruptcy and labour sections, lawyers working for international studios that mainly work with large companies, and jurists specializing in relations with foreign and non-government institutions or for institutions specializing in the business activities of independent authorities.

On completion of the undergraduate degree, however, it is possible to find employment in the legal departments of financial sectors, public administration and private companies.

The program requirements of 180 credit points are divided as follows:

Educational activities	CP
21 compulsory courses	148
2 elective courses	12
Foreign language from European Union	6
Computer skills	4
Projects/seminars/second foreign language	6
Final paper	4

The academic curriculum provides:

• basic training in the main juridical disciplines both in the area of private and business law and in the area of public, penal, procedural, international and historical-philosophical law;
• multi-year development of particularly fundamental subjects;
• the completion of juridical training with a basic knowledge of accounting and financial reporting, the economic analysis of law and quantitative methods;
• the development of theoretical knowledge with direct experience through seminars and projects.
