STUDYING ABROAD
Internationalization at Università Bocconi has been a strategic priority pursued since 1974, the year in which the first international agreements were put into place. Over the years these programs have developed an extensive network of relations and exchanges with prestigious academic and cultural institutions all over the world, which means there is constant collaboration with the university and international business schools on research and joint teaching projects, thus providing Bocconi students and teaching staff with invaluable international experience. Thanks to its network of international relations, Università Bocconi is able to offer its students several opportunities to acquire the kind of business training which is necessary for dealing with global economic developments. Study programs abroad:
MSc students can also take part in programs that are organized with international universities and business schools which lead to double degrees (Italian and foreign) or diplomas issued by members of the international network (Master CEMS-MIM). All the international programs will be presented in detail during the International Week.

The international universities included in the program are some of the most renowned institutions in the world in the fields of management, economics and social sciences with an emphasis on economics and law. In fact, Università Bocconi belongs to 2 of the most prestigious international networks: CEMS (Community of European Management Schools) and PIM (Partnership in International Management).

If students withdraw during their undergraduate studies, they are not excluded from the program if they enrol in MSc programs.
