Final papers/theses represent the last step of your experience in a Bachelor of Science/Master of Science program. You are required to demonstrate your personal and intellectual growth and your ability to apply the concepts you have studied during your degree program at Bocconi.
Final papers, and theses in particular, require effort and dedication: you will need to commit a suitable amount of time and serious planning.
Each final paper/thesis should begin with a preliminary analysis of possible research topics, which should be innovative, interesting and feasible.
This page aims to be a starting point for students interested in choosing a topic referring to the areas of interest for faculty members in the Department of Decision Sciences:
- Mathematical analysis
- Mathematical methods of economy, finance and actuarial sciences
- Probability and mathematical statistics
- Machine learning and data science
Below you can find a list of more specific sectors within the areas mentioned above. By selecting a specific sector, you will get a list of the faculty members you may contact as potential Tutors for the Final Paper or as Advisors for the MSc Thesis.
Please remember that both Final Papers and MSc Theses may be written in English or in Italian, according to the indications of each degree program. Students should read the general instructions for writing a final paper and a thesis.
Regarding administrative procedures, all information is available online in the Guide to the University (Chapter 10 in particular):
For more information, please contact Prof. Rebecca Graziani (rebecca.graziani@unibocconi.it).
You can check the following guides designed by the Library to create your research strategy and find relevant resources and tools: Decision Sciences, Bibliographic Research Skills, Writing your dissertation
