BIEM is taught in English.
The study program shares a part of the educational path with other Bocconi business management programs (chiefly concentrated in the first three semesters) with particular focus on an international outlook.
From the fourth semester BIEM differs from the other Degree programs:
- the course covers the subject areas of internationalization of companies, international economics, integration policies and comparative quantitative and qualitative studies;
- An in-depth study of the systems to manage the company/institutions functions characterized by multicultural environments and international connections.
Students can adapt the last part of their study plan to their individual objectives (courses to be passed in Italy and/or abroad, curricular internships).
In addition, the study plan includes:
- activities to develop the IT skills;
- two EU languages different from the student’s native language. Italian is mandatory for students who are not native Italian speakers;
- critical thinking seminars to develop behavioral skills and interpretation of the competitive context also in relation with the role of the company, economic and social one;
- final paper.
An agreement with the Ordine Territoriale di Milano dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili (Chartered Accountants and Accountants Territorial Council of Milan) is in force for the program, which exempts students from the first written exam to access section B of the Register of Chartered Accountants and allows for a 6-month traineeship during the last year of the BSc.
The prerequisite for enrolling in the first year 2023-2024 of the program is an English level equal at least to B2 (in accordance with European Language Framework) (see the table).
