The courses subdivided in modules are considered passed, and may be recorded in the student academic career and certified, only after passing both exams of which it is made up. The final grade is obtained by the grade point average of the two marks compared to the credits of each module and rounded up if decimals are equal or higher than 5, rounded down if they are lower than 5.

It is furthermore specified that the credit points and the grades earned for the individual modules passed (even if the exam is not yet registered) will be 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.

Exam sequence and progress requirements
In order to guarantee that students acquire advanced knowledge, it is essential that they have a solid preparation. Prerequisites are therefore required for some courses. Exam sequence indicates the sequence that must be followed in preparing exams and requires students to pass some exams before sitting for others. For more specific information, please see paragraph Exam sequence and progress requirements.

Studying abroad
Bocconi University promotes international mobility among students by activating many study abroad opportunities and initiatives. Details are available in Chapter “Studying abroad.”

Program structure
Please note that the positioning of the elective courses in the first or second semester is only an indication; this will depend on choices made by the student.

This educational path was designed for students who have a basic knowledge of English and Computer Science.

For more information, see Languages and Computer Skills.

The code of the major course will be modified depending on the course chosen (see "Majors").

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