2.1.
Students initially enrolled starting from the 2009-2010 academic year
Università Bocconi's School of Law offers, as part of the Economics Faculty, a five-year Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLMG) program. In the 2009-2010 academic year there will be the first, second, third and fourth year of studies.
The CLMG program is taught in two class groups made up of an average of 150 students each.
The study plan is expressed with credit points. A credit point is the unit of measurement which determines the workload students are required to fulfil. It is assumed that students are adequately prepared from the start to carry out the educational activities required by the degree program. The workload includes both classroom activities (lessons, exercises, seminars) as well as group work and individual study.
Credit points are given for all educational activities which are part of the program requirements.
In accordance with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), on average one credit point is equivalent to 25 hours of work, about 8 of which are spent in the classroom.
The average workload for a full-time student is set at 60 credit points per year, as per agreement.
In order to receive the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science degree, students must gain at least 300 credit points.
The credit points assigned to each educational activity are earned when students pass an exam or its equivalent .

Educational objectives
While respecting the educational objectives of the field of study the program belongs to, the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLMG)has the following goals:
- during the first part of the program, to provide knowledge of the legal "method" and the basic cultural and technical concepts needed to work in the legal profession as a legal expert for, or in, a company;
- during the second part of the program, to provide an in-depth knowledge by completing the cultural background of the jurist with an in-depth monographic study of specific institutions or disciplinary areas which were briefly covered during undergraduate studies. This is done by extending the area of inquiry to certain sectors that were omitted previously because they were sectorial, or because of the high technical complexity of the issues at hand;
- to develop the legal knowledge required to work in European and international contexts. This is achieved by attending the compulsory courses of comparative private and international law, elective courses, (some of which are held in English) and through international mobility opportunities in which students study abroad in partner universities;
- to integrate students' legal education with the basic economic, corporate and quantitative knowledge needed to facilitate a smooth entry into the work world as modern legal experts in any economic context;
- to provide the cognitive tools and methods which enable legal experts to articulate, both verbally and in writing, complex legal arguments and, thanks to their background, lead them to the correct solution of problems for which specialist competency is required. Special attention is given to topics typically dealt with by legal experts working in firms or in public and international institutions;
- to develop skills and know-how, as well as knowledge through educational activities which encourage students' active participation in the classroom and in interactions with the teacher, as well as through acquiring in-the-field skills during internships and clinics (case study analysis with the aid of legal experts);
- to develop the skills and expertise needed to effectively use IT tools and the English language in order to work efficiently in the legal profession.

The compulsory courses, whose credit points and subject areas satisfy ministerial requirements, are divided into two categories:
- basic compulsory courses, which are the same for all Combined Bachelor and Master of Science students;
- advanced compulsory courses (a.c. - advanced courses), positioned in the third, fourth and fifth years of studies, which expand on topics dealt with in the basic courses taken in the first years of the program. Each advanced course has a specialized profile related to each major.

Compulsory courses
The program structure is made up of compulsory courses which correspond to exams which all students must pass. In order to reach the degree program's educational goals and receive the combined Bachelor and Master of Science degree, students must pass the exams related to these courses.
According to current regulations, such educational activities are classified as: "basic", "characteristic" of the degree's field of study and "independently decided upon by the University" (D.M. 25 November 2005).
The compulsory courses, whose credit points and subject areas satisfy ministerial requirements, are divided into two categories:
- basic compulsory courses, which are the same for all Combined Bachelor and Master of Science students;
- advanced compulsory courses (a.c. - advanced courses), positioned in the third, fourth and fifth years of studies, which expand on topics dealt with in the basic courses taken in the first years of the program. Each advanced course has a specialized profile related to each major.

Program structure position
The Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] includes in its program structure two European Union foreign languages: a compulsory first foreign language and an elective second foreign language (which is part of the elective courses chosen by the student).
The objective of first foreign language courses is to provide students with the language skills for the general use of the language for the specific area of law. The objective of the second foreign language courses is to provide students with the language skills needed for an appropriate general language use.

Credit points are awarded once students pass the exam.
The credit points given for passing the first-year exam form part of the first-year credit points needed to access second year (see "Administrative Procedures Regulations and Deadlines").
The language learning path for the first foreign language begins in the I semester of the first year of studies.

The language learning path for the second foreign language begins in the I semester of the fifth year.
For both the first and second foreign language courses, the grade out of thirtywhich assesses foreign language skills is included in the calculation of the Grade Point Average (GPA).
As an alternative to sitting the Bocconi exam, students may register the results of any foreign language international certifications, among those recognized by Bocconi, in their academic career (see "Method of Assessing Foreign Language Knowledge").

Method of choosing languages
The choice of foreign languages follows the same criteria for both first and second languages, depending on:
- the languages chosen must be different from the student's native language;
- English is the compulsory first language for all non native English speakers.
The method of choosing languages is as follows:
First language
|
Second language
|
English
|
French-Portuguese(*)-Spanish-German
|
(*)Starting from the 2010-2011 academic year the Portoguese language will no longer be included in the educational offer. Students who have included Portoguese in their study plan can take the Bocconi exam until December 2011; starting from this date students can only register in the study plan one among internationally recognized certifications recognised by the Language Center.
Students who are native English speakers, must choose the first language from the other curricular languages. Students who aren't native Italian speakers, can choose Italian as their second language.
If a student has more than one mother tongue (e.g. coming from or residing in a multilingual country or living with parents from 2 different nationalities) the student must choose one language as his mother tongue for the whole duration of his studies.
The course codes are as follows:

The language learning path
The method for learning foreign languages offered by the Language Centre is as follows:
A. lessons B. guided independent study
A. Lessons The Language Centre organizes lessons and provides curricular courses for both first and second foreign languages. Generally courses run only if enough students are enrolled in.
First foreign language - general language (first and second year of program) Lessons for the first foreign language last two years.
For English (exit level B2), path 1 or path 2 is assigned according to the students's initial preparation (see "Evaluation of the initial knowledge of English and Italian")
The different language paths generally require a certain amount of classroom hours per year, specified as follows:
Year of studies
|
Path 1
|
Path 2
|
First year
|
144 hours
|
96 hours
|
Second year
|
96 hours
|
96 hours
|
First foreign language - specialized language (third and fourth year of studies) Lessons for the first foreign language include a single path lasting 2 semesters (II semester of the third year and I semester of the fourth year) for a total of 72 classroom hours.
Second foreign language Lessons for the second foreign language in the fifth year last one year and include a single path assigned automatically to each student when he/she selects the foreign language. Each path includes a total of 144 classroom hours.
Attendance to first and second language courses is strongly recommended; attending courses is the most effective way of learning the language and preparing for the final exam. Active participation in a course and certain self-study activities can add 2 extra points out of thirty to the final exam mark (more detailed information is available on the Internet site at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Language Teaching >Curricular activities ).
First year students who have finalized their enrolment can check their first and secon language class timetable at Punto Blu. Second year students can check after enrolment in the following years. The summarized course programs (course profiles) of the language courses are available at www.unibocconi.eu/profiles.
The detailed programs (course syllabuses and exam requirements) are available at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Language Teaching > Curricular activities> Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza (Law).
B. Guided independent study
Learning a foreign language requires not only attending lessons regularly but also consistent efforts in independent study, carried out during the student's entire university experience. The Language Center offers students information and consulting services for language study. Its language laboratory provides a variety of preparatory materials (multi-media library) and other material is available online for different languages at www.unibocconi.it/languagecentre in Language Laboratory.
Guided independent study consists of a variety of activities which the student carries out, based on specific indications given by the teacher. Activities may involve teaching materials, (e.g. exercises in books) support from the language laboratory (e.g. multimedia courses) and other material available online.
The course syllabuses available at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Language Teaching provide information concerning lessons as well as guided independent study. For each subject dealt with during lessons, there are corresponding activities which can be carried out.
The following table shows the total amount of hours which should be dedicated to independent study per week according to the language learning path assigned to the student (Path 1, Path 2, Single Path).

Evaluation of the initial knowledge of English and Italian
In order to have the correct learning path assigned (Path 1 or Path 2), all non English native speakers enrolled in class groups taught in Italian, must assess their initial knowledge of English as follows:
- when finalizing enrolment students must show that they have at least one of the language requirements stated when they applied for admission online and indicated by the University (see the website www.unibocconi.eu/admission or

2.3.7.
Method of assessing foreign language knowledge
Assessment is carried out by:
- taking an exam in Bocconi, or
- international certification from among those recognized by the University.
Bocconi exam The assessment is carried out by taking an exam which tests comprehension skills and knowledge of written and spoken language depending on the level of competence to be achieved.
The first-year exam for the first foreign language is a prerequisite of the second-year exam and the second-year exam is a prerequisite of the fourth-year exam. For fourth year exam (first language) students can apply for having the curricular exam exempted i.e. having the grade achieved in the second year exam recorded in the student academic career (exam grade or grade of the recognised international certification expressed out of thirties according to the appropriate tables defined by the Language Centre) only for the following exam (English first language first year of studies) exit levels: B2 legal, C1 general, C1 legal, C2 general, C2 legal. If students who meet the above necessary requirements apply for the exemption must hand in the request form to the Teaching Services and Organization Desk from 3 August to 4 September 2009 and from 7 January to 1 February 2010. The second foreign language includes a partial exam (optional) to be taken in the I semester and a final exam to be taken in the II semester of the fifthyear of studies(for information on partial exam check the website at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Language Teaching in Curricular activities)
Exams follow the same standards as those set for international certifications.
Assessment of foreign language knowledge depends on the final exam result as well as other means of evaluation to check progress made during the course of studies:
- for the first foreign language
- positive results each year for active classroom participation and guided independent study;
- for the second foreign language
- active classroom participation and guided independent study; - passing partial exam.
The grade achieved is included in the calculation of the Grade Point Average (GPA).
The level of competence achieved is recorded on the official exam report and on the official academic transcript.
Exit levels which are higher than those foreseen for curricular exams of first and second languages are only possible through the registration in the student's academic career of any international certifications recognized by the University.
International certifications As an alternative to the Bocconi exam students may only choose to take one of the international certifications exams indicated by the University. The registration of the achieved result in the academic career, after being converted into a number grade out of a possible thirty is made by the Secretary’s Office of the Language Centre under presentation of the original certification.
The level of the certifications presented must be for each language equal to or higher than the exit levels (in accordance with the criteria indicated in "Exit levels").
International certification is registered in the student's academic career and it is valid for 3 years (except for some international tests which are valid for less time, see www.unibocconi.eu/languagecentre in Exams-Certificates.
The list of international certifications recognized for the different exams is published on the internet site at http://www.unibocconi.eu/ /languagecentre , in Exams-Certificates .
For both the first and second foreign languages, international certifications may be presented starting with the first year of studies. In any case, the related credit points and marks are attributed to the year of studies of the course
With respect to the first foreign language exam (general use) it should be noted that in order to be registered in the student's academic career, an international foreign language certification should respond to the following:
- if the certification is presented during the first year of studies: 1 credit point will be registered in the student's academic career for the first year of studies and 2 credit points will be registered for the second year of studies; in this case only the first year credit is calculated to pass from the first to the second year of studies and only if the certification is presented by 15 July 2010;
- if the certification is presented during the second years of studies or later, the student will be lacking the credit points necessary for the exams of each year until these are registered.
With respect to the first foreign language exam (general use) there are two possibilities regarding the registration of an international certification in their academic career:
- student has not taken the Bocconi exam: the grade expressed out of thirty will be given as the result of both the first and second exam;
- student has already taken the first Bocconi exam and has it registered in his/her academic career: the grade expressed out of thirty will be given as the result of the second exam.
International foreign language certifications can be received by sitting an exam with an official examination centre, both in Italy and abroad.
Students are responsible for any costs related to exams certification.
For students who are interested in the Bocconi exam or certification exams, the Language Centre provides information and guidance on exam assessment methods. Specific materials for exam preparation and past exam papers are also available at the language laboratory.

Curricular Internship characteristics
Internships must satisfy the following characteristics involving duration, objectives and contents, location and positioning.
Duration Minimum 12 weeks, if in Italy; Minimum 10 weeks, if abroad.
Objectives and contents The main objective of internships is to educate. They allow students to gain real work world and professional experience while developing professional skills. They help students get their bearings in these areas and facilitate their professional choices. Students acquire direct knowledge of the continuously evolving world of work. Internships are more than a mere practical application of academic studies; they give individuals a real opportunity to grow both personally and professionally. The contents of internships must be aligned with the educational objectives of the Program. During the internship each student is assigned a company and university tutor. For Themis students the internship held as part of the Themis program, if completed by a clinic experience (see "Other activities recognized in lieu of internships"), is recognized as a curricular internship.
Location Internships may be taken - In Italy and abroad in professional studies, in firms, public and private institutions, professional studios, international organisms, diplomatic agencies, cultural institutions and other organizations. Positioning Students may participate in internships during their fifth year of studies. Students may participate in an internship only after completing fourth-year lessons. Internships are registered in students' academic careers as a fifth-year educational activity.

Organizational aspects
Finding internships
Università Bocconi recognizes internships organized by any of the following parties:
- Degree Program Direction
- the Career Service (see "Internship in Italy and abroad organized by the Career Service);
- International Relations Service (SRI) - International Internship Office (see "International Internship with the International Relations Service");
The Career Service and the International Internship Office (SRI) work together with the Program Director to make the internship characteristics uniform (host company and activities to be carried out) and ensure that they meet the educational objectives of the Program.
Whatever channel is used to find an internship, the host company or organization and Bocconi sign an internship agreement and a training and orientation project on the objectives and contents of the training period. As the promoter of the initiative the University will prepare all the necessary legal documentation, check the quality of the training projects, and provide insurance coverage.
Approval and validation of internships
All internship experiences must be previously approved so as to guarantee the quality and consistency with educational objectives. Internships are validated when completed, so that students may receive academic recognition for the experience.
Interruption
The interruption of an internship is possible only for serious and/or certified reasons and due to force majeure such as: absence of the tutor or insufficient support and participation or educational contents that are not consistent with the training project, or for serious personal reasons.
Registration
The internship must be recorded in the student's academic career by the deadline for the completion of the exams provided for in the program structure set for the graduation. Generally, the internship must have been finished by that date. Any uncompleted internships which have satisfied the minimum duration of time indicated above will still be recognized and can be registered in the student's academic career. In this case, the documents must be completed in time to record the internship in the student's academic career by the deadline date for the completion of the exams provided for in the program structure set for the graduation. Contributions for internships in Italy and abroad For students taking part in internships offered by public authorities in Italy, or through international organizations, institutions, authorities and companies abroad promoted by the Career Service and the International Internship Office (SRI) for which no compensation is provided, contributions are available from Università Bocconi: for allocation criteria and application forms see the website at www.unibocconi.eu/financialaid> Download Area
Contributions for internships in the European Union
Erasmus Student Placement: the LLP/Erasmus program offers students scholarships for curricular internships in companies and research and training centers located in one of the countries participating in the Program. Information regarding duration, place, amount of contribution, eligibility, requirements, and participating institutions/companies are available on http://www.it.unibocconi.eu/ and http://cs.unibocconi.eu/ The scholarships are not cumulative with contributions indicated in the preceding title.
Other activities recognized in lieu of internships Internships are the principal and priority educational activities aimed at aiding students in the choice of a profession, however there are also other activities which are defined as "similar activities" to internships including:
- specialized work experiences which have contracts that are different from those of internships. For example, temporary and permanent work positions, apprenticeships, traineeships, and limited-time work ("lavoro a progetto") positions. The rules regarding duration, positioning and individuals who may provide contracts which have already been established for internships, are adaptable to these experiences.
The experience must be authorized in advance to make the quality and consistency uniform with the educational path. Once the experience is finished it is validated to obtain academic recognition;
- in-the-field projects (clinics and Moot) administered by Program Direction. The clinics are promoted by a Professor and approved by the Program Director following specific agreements with a company, an institution or professional office. Currently for the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] program an example of a field project is provided by the Moot, which is an international competition on the "arbitration" topic.

Internships in Italy and abroad organized by the Career Service
The Career Service Internship Office is the University's point of contact for all internship activities, with the exception of programs organized by the International Relations Service - International Internship Office.
The Career Service promotes internship opportunities both in Italy and abroad with public and private organizations:
- consulting and auditing firms, professional (e.g. accountants) and legal studios;
- industrial and commercial companies, service providers, banks, financial institutions;
- government sector, public agencies and non-profit organizations;
- cultural and artistic institutions;
- authorities and companies operating in the tourism, communication and media industries.
The Service organizes all administrative procedures required by current regulations.
Furthermore the Career Service gives useful information to identify other opportunities based on specific needs and interests. It also helps students make their applications more effective through individual consultations and seminars.
In addition to what has already been said in terms of its characteristics, an internship - known also as traineeship - is an experience which offers in-the-field training, whose regulations are valid in Italy, and are set by law (24 June 1997 no. 196 art. 18 and the decree of 25 March 1998, no. 142 ministerial circular no. 52/99 and decree of 22 March 2006 on internship for non UE citizens and al parere del Ministero del lavoro-Risposta ad interpello n.30/08). An internship is not a labour contract.
By law internships are not paid. At their discretion, companies can grant a monetary contribution that would go towards a student's studies.
Participation in internships Internship opportunities in Italy and abroad are available through:
- JobGate: the online platform updated daily offering internship and work opportunities reserved to Bocconi students;
- Curricular Internship Special:semi-annual publication containing internship opportunities at companies belonging to the Partners for Development and Associated Companies Programs at the University;
- Bocconi & Jobs: the semi-annual career fair allows Bocconi students to meet company representatives from all sectors;
- Company presentations in the University: companies present themselves and describe their programs for hiring potential candidates; the calendar for presentations is fixed every six months;
- Placement Library:the Career Service's library dedicated to the world of work. Students can organize the search and retrieval of information which is useful for finding internships and jobs.
These tools help to balance the supply and demand for internships. Securing an internship offer is not necessarily linked to academic qualifications. The desired curriculum and personal characteristics of the candidates are decided each time by the companies, which are directly involved in the selection, based on the educational project.
Moreover, the Career Service collaborates with the Program Director in support of internships procured by Program Direction.
Documents The Internship Office of the Career Service is the contact point within the University that is responsible for formalizing the training experience (unless they are arranged by the International Internships Office (SRI), see "International Internship with the International Relations Service"), regulating internships, (agreements, training projects, and orientation) and providing the necessary documentation to ensure the training experience is recorded in the student's academic career.
Before starting an internship, students must collect the Educational and Orientation Project form at the Career Service - Internship Office and give it to the host organization.
Information and support For further information, to sign up for seminars and individual consultation sessions contact the Career Service:

Clinics
Credit points and program structure positioning
Clinics are worth 6 credit points, and can be undertaken as an alternative to internships, elective course or second foreign language courses. Clinics are positioned in the fifth year of the program structure.
Contents Clinics are promoted by Bocconi instructors, upon approval of the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science Program Director, and include specific agreements with a firm, institution or professional study. Clinics are important educational experiences in which students can gain firsthand legal experience by applying purely theoretical concepts to real situations. The expert guiding the student will choose real-life cases which are particularly relevant to the scientific and educational goals of the project.
Clinics are educational activities which encourage "learning by doing", and include the following activities:
- classroom work - an expert (judge, lawyer, notary, company lawyer, etc) explains the "clinical" case and retraces the main factors which characterize the controversy together with the students, who are divided into small groups;
- group or individual in-depth analysis - under the guidance of the expert and the Bocconi instructor, students write essays and briefs which verify and analyze the basic legal concepts they have acquired;
- written report in which the student explains and illustrates the cases, with reference to doctrines and jurisprudence.
Credit points Validation of the experience is given only upon the instructor's positive evaluation. Instructors base their evaluations on the expert's final evaluation and on the student's individual report. Marks expressed out of 30 are not given.
Procedure details
- The Bocconi instructor proposing the Clinic provides the Career Service with a list of students who wish to participate in the Clinic.
- The instructor provides the Career Service with validation of the student's Clinic experience; the Career Service sends this documentation to the Student Administration Centre for registration in the student's study plan .

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 affiliations and exchanges with prestigious academic and cultural institutions all over the world, including the recent formation of a special network of partner institutions in the field of law. Constant collaboration between Bocconi and foreign universities on research and joint teaching projects provide Bocconi students and teaching staff with invaluable international experience. Thanks to its network of international affiliations, Università Bocconi is able to offer law students opportunities on a global scale.
Study programs abroad:
- Long programs (Exchange Programs , Themis Program and Free-Mover Semester Programs);
- Short programs (Campus Abroad Programs).
All the international programs will be presented in detail during the "International Week".
Exchange Program
The Università Bocconi "Exchange Program" (including the Erasmus Program-LLP) deals with student exchanges under bilateral agreements with many universities in the world, giving students the opportunity to attend courses for which they can receive credit as part of their Bocconi degrees.
There are about 25 Faculties of Law included in the network which are specially addressed to the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science in Giurisprudenza [Law] and they are some of the most renowned institutions in the field of law.
The agreements are based on reciprocal arrangements that allow students from both institutions involved to complete a period of study abroad without paying extra university fees and tuition to the partner institution. Students are, however, responsible for travel, board and lodging expenses.
Eligibility and requirements Students can take the semester abroad just one time during their fourth and fift years. Therefore students regularly enrolled in the third or fourth year of the Combined Bachelor and Master of Science Program can apply.
Students are allowed to enrol in a semester abroad at one of the partner universities only if they pass the selection which is based on merit and language skills.
Application and deadlines Students are advised to check the application procedures and deadlines released in successive International Relations publications and on the website www.ir.unibocconi.it/exchange.
For Exchange Program details, to check comments and reports by students who have been abroad in the past, and the dossier of each university, visit the website www.ir.unibocconi.eu/exchange
Exam recognition Students can receive credit for a maximum of 30 credit points.
The credit approval procedure is to be finalized and will be available later.
Free-Mover Semester Program
Students interested in attending a semester abroad outside the Exchange Program can enrol at a number of universities abroad where they can study just one time during the last year of their degree as part of the Free-Mover Semester Program (fee-paying Visiting Students or Independent Students). Università Bocconi has identified a number of schools, mainly members of its international network, that are willing to accept such students. The list of universities abroad will be published on the webpage at www.ir.unibocconi.eu. This is the only list considered valid for the recognition of exams taken in schools abroad as part of the Free-Mover Semester Program.
Any other applications for alternatives must be examined individually beforehand by the International Relations Service (SRI). The application, accompanied by a motivational letter and information about the chosen university, must be submitted to the International Relations Service before enrolling at the foreign university for a Free-Mover Semester Program.
Application procedure Students who meet the requirements should contact their chosen institution to ask for programs and start the enrolment procedures. Once students have been admitted by a school of the Free-Mover Semester network, they must contact the International Relations Service and request the green form to have courses taken abroad recognized.
Students are responsible for travel, board and lodging expenses for the period abroad, as well as fees and tuition for both Bocconi and the institution abroad. Students are advised to take out health insurance for the entire period of study abroad.
Exam recognition Students can receive credit for a maximum of 30 credit points.
The credit approval procedure is to be finalized and will be available later.
For Free-Mover Semester Program details, (eligibility, list of universities, application procedure, exam recognition, program compatibility, etcetera), visit the website www.ir.unibocconi.eu and consult the International Relations Service publications.
Students are reminded that, in any case, receiving credit for exams taken abroad in the Free-Mover Semester is incompatible with other long-programs abroad.
Themis Program
Among the opportunities offered to students enrolled in the last years of studies we outline the Themis Program. This program allows students to acquire an international certification released by the Themis network which, in addition to Università Bocconi, includes also Esade (Barcellona, Spain), Freie Universität (Berlin, Germany) and Université de Paris XII (Val de Marne - Paris, France).
The programme curriculum includes also an exchange experience at one of the partner institutions, a joint seminar realised at one of the network universities and an international internship.
Short programs
The short programs offered by Università Bocconi give students the opportunity to spend a brief period of time abroad, generally during summer, combining educational activities with the exploration of new cultural, social and economic environments.
Campus Abroad
Campus Abroad Programs - generally held during the period in which lessons are suspended - are organized by Università Bocconi in collaboration with partner schools abroad and last about 1 month. The programs aim to expose students to an international context by combining a Bocconi course with a series of "country specific" activities (seminars and visits to local companies and institutions).
Further information on timelines. requirements and application procedures are published on the website www.ir.unibocconi.eu/campusabroad.
Scholarships for international programs
Students taking part in international programs can apply for scholarships from ISU Bocconi (Student Assistance and Financial Aid) and the TCA - University Fees Office (for information about scholarships and application forms, download the pdf file "Conditions for awarding scholarships" which is available on the ISU website in the download area).
Students chosen for the Exchange Program for one semester of study at a European institution which has signed a bilateral Erasmus agreement will receive an Erasmus scholarship from the European Union.

Campus Abroad Programs - generally held during the period in which lessons are suspended - are organized by Università Bocconi in collaboration with partner schools abroad and last about 1 month. The programs aim to expose students to an international context by combining a Bocconi course with a series of "country specific" activities (seminars and visits to local companies and institutions).
Selection
Student are admitted to the program for the proposed destinations at graduate level starting from the summer between the fourth and the fifth year of studies and after a selection based on merit requirements and language skills.

To have exams and program credit points registered in the academic career, students must pass the final exam and participate in both lessons and related activities. Students are reminded that their participation in all activities and presence for the entire period of the program is compulsory.
