Notes
 

Modules:

  • code 30062 'Mathematics - module 1 (General)’ and code 30063 ‘Mathematics - module 2 (Applied)’ are respectively the first and the second module of the course code 30061 ‘Mathematics’;
  • code 30065 ‘Economics - module 1 (Microeconomics)’ and code 30066 ‘Economics - module 2 (Macroeconomics)’ are respectively the first and the second module of the course code 30064 ‘Economics’;
  • code 30428 ‘Introduction to the legal system module 1’ and code 30048 ‘Introduction to the legal system module 2’ are respectively the first and the second module of the course code 30046 ‘Introduction to the legal system’. 
  • code 30426 'Accounting and financial statement analysis module 1' and code 30427 'Accounting and financial statement analysis module 2' are respectively the first and the second module of the course code 30425 'Accounting and financial statement analysis'.


Courses divided into modules are officially passed (and can be recorded in the student academic career and certified) only after passing both modules’ examinations. The final grade is the grade point average of the two marks, which is the credit points for the course. The average is rounded up if decimals are equal or higher than 5, rounded down if they are lower than 5.

Credit points and grades earned for the individual modules passed are taken into account for rankings within the University (e.g. Bocconi Scholarship, selection for International Programs, etc.) and they can be viewed by printing the unofficial academic transcript at Punto Blu.

Languages and computer skills
Detailed information on language paths and computer skills can be found in "Languages and Computer skills".
First language choice for native English-speaking students is made following the rules in paragraph "Method of Choosing Languages".
 

Exam sequence 

Detailed information on exam requirements i.e. which exams must be taken before others and the timelines is published in the chapter on Exams.

Electives and internship
The positioning of elective courses and of internship in the first or in the second semesters is merely a suggestion. Students can choose how to allocate these activities along the two semesters.

The list of Elective courses is available in the paragraphs ‘2.2. Elective courses’ and '2.3 Compulsory courses characterizing other 3-y degree programs'.

In accordance with the educational objectives of the program and the ministerial tables, field of study Economics, the program structure may be subject to variations decided by the Academic Bodies.
