GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

The first year class timetable

The class timetable has been planned so that educational activities connected to first-year compulsory courses are mainly concentrated in either the morning or the afternoon, in order to make it easier for students to dedicate the other part of the day to individual study.

The timetable is structured to provide specific time slots, different in each semester, but the same for all MSc degrees. These time slots are reserved for specific types of activities (compulsory courses, languages and in the second semester elective courses for the DES-LS/ESS-LS program only). Thus, class timetable clashes between compulsory courses, electives and languages are avoided.

Lessons that need to be divided in groups may be organized at times that are different from those planned for normal lessons.

The second year class timetable

In the second year students complete their study plans by selecting elective courses following different rules in the various MSc courses (see chapter 'Study plan').

With respect to compulsory courses, the program structure does not allow overlapping between lessons, however this cannot be guaranteed with respect to elective courses.

The class timetable of the second year also includes time slots for languages.

No teaching activities are scheduled for Mondays and Thursdays between 6:00pm-7:30pm as they are reserved for company presentations organized by the Career Service.

For both years of MSc programs there are no teaching activities from 1:00 to 2:30pm on Fridays, both in the first and second semester, as it is reserved for student group activities.

The general class timetable is published on the University's Internet site at http://www.unibocconi.it/classtimetable.

The class timetable and any variations are posted, in numerical order, on the bulletin boards located on the ground floor of the University buildings at piazza Sraffa 13 and via Sarfatti 25 (students can also find the languages bulletin board in the same place).

After enrolment, students can see and print their personalized class timetable at Punto Blu terminals or via the yoU@B student diary.

At Punto Blu terminals students can see and print their personalized class timetables for the current semester only.

In addition, the yoU@B student diary can be accessed from the Bocconi homepage. By connecting students can integrate their personalized class timetable with other educational activities of interest and print all the other information recorded in their diary for the desired period (daily, weekly, monthly, etc).

The teaching activities for the 2007-2008 a.y. will follow the schedule below:

• I semester: from Monday 17 September 2007 to Friday 21 December 2007;
• II semester: from Monday 18 February 2008 to Thursday 29 May 2008.

There is a 2-day study period (Tuesday 3 June and Wednesday 4 June) after the end of the second semester and before the start of the exam period in June for second semester courses. This study period is dedicated to individual study and/or making up lessons which had been previously cancelled.
