GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

The program requirements of all Bachelor programs offered at Università Bocconi include a computer skills course, aiming to provide students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in IT.

The computer skills course, Informatica per Giurisprudenza [Computer skills for legal studies] (course codes 6034 and 50019), is positioned in the first semester of the second year; the course is assigned 3 credit points.  

There are 2 types of assessment methods: .

• Partial exams:
  They have been planned for those who regularly attend the lessons and the exam topics refer to the ones held in class. Only second year students can sit for partial exams. Partial exams cannot be repeated in the following years than the year of studies the course is positioned in the study plan.
• General exams:
  They are addressed to those who have not sat partial exams or who have not passed them. The preparation of the whole bibliography is required.
  In both cases, the exam is structured in a section of questions (multiple choice and open questions) and a section of exercises by using the personal computer.

Please note that in order to be admitted to the exam students must have one of the following certifications: a complete ECDL certification (seven modules), ECDL advanced (all four modules), MOS Master, MCAS Master, IC3 2005 Plus or other equivalent certifications recognized by SEDIN. The certification must be completed and forwarded to SEDIN according to the deadlines and procedures published on the website http://www.unibocconi.eu/sedin.

It is strongly recommended that students gain the ECDL license before attending the computer skills course.

Students who do not yet possess the complete ECDL certification, which is a prerequisite for the exam of "Informatica per Giurisprudenza" [Computer Skills for legal studies], may take it at Università Bocconi. ECDL exams are held each week according to a calendar which is updated regularly. Students may view the exam calendar and enrol through their yoU@B student diary, using the special ECDL box.

If students do not possess the Skills card, the official document needed to sit the exam, they may purchase through the online payment procedure at a cost of 45,00. Each exam module costs 12,00.
