GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

The program requirements of all Bachelor programs offered at Università Bocconi include a computer skills course, aiming to provide students with the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in IT.

The computer skills course, Informatica per Giurisprudenza [Computer skills for legal studies] (course code 50019), is positioned in the first semester of the second year; the course is worth 3 credit points.  

There are 2 types of assessment methods:

• Partial exams:
  They have been planned for those who regularly attend the lessons and the exam topics refer to the ones held in class. Only second year students can sit for partial exams. Partial exams cannot be sat nor repeated in the following years than the year of studies the course is positioned in the study plan.
• General exams:
  They are addressed to those who have not sat partial exams or who have not passed them. The preparation of the whole bibliography is required.

For both cases, the exam includes questions and computer exercises.
Please note that in order to be admitted to the exam students must have one of the following certifications: a complete ECDL certification (seven modules), ECDL advanced (all four modules), MOS Master, MCAS Master, IC3 2005 Plus or other equivalent certifications recognized by University. The certification must be completed and forwarded to SEDIN according to the deadlines and procedures published on the website http://www.unibocconi.eu/sedin.
