GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

Università Bocconi's School of Law offers, a five-year Integrated Master of Arts in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLMG) program.
The CLMG program is taught in two class groups made up of an average of 140 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 Integrated Master of Arts in Law 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.

Studying abroad

According to an agreement with a network of Partner Universities (Themis), some students selected on merit may obtain an international diploma awarded by the 4 institutions which make up the network. Program procedures and participation information are included in "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 information check Foreign Languages and Computer Skills.

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

Notice that the study plan may undergo limited changes as decided upon by the bodies responsible.

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 Integrated Master of Arts in Law 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 Integrated Master of Arts in Law program students;
• compulsory courses included in the second/third year, that can be chosen alternatively by the student;
• advanced compulsory courses (a.c. - advanced courses), positioned in the 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.

The course profiles are available on the website at www.unibocconi.eu/courses

Detailed programs (course syllabuses) are available online and they are usually distributed by professors on the first days of lessons.

Students must select elective courses in order to complete the program requirements regarding activities chosen by the student. An elective course is worth 6 credit points. 

Course profiles of the elective courses are available on the website at www.unibocconi.eu/courses.

The detailed profiles of the courses (course syllabuses) are available online and in any case are usually distributed in class by the professors when the course starts.
 

Before choosing their electives students should consult the table of "Incompatible courses". The "Incompatible courses table" indicates the courses that cannot be chosen together in the same study plan because their course programs are either exactly or partly similar.

The exams related to electives can be taken at universities abroad as part of the programs offered by the International Relations Service. The criteria and credit approval procedure is indicated in "Recognition of exams passed in foreign universities".

The program structure includes the choice, at the beginning of the fourth year, of one of the following majors:

• Impresa [Business law track]: addressed to an in-depth study of the issues inherent in private enterprise law, with a focus on the rules governing companies, extraordinary financial operations, operations of financial markets, financial intermediation, as well as regulation of competition and industrial law;
  
• Forense [Litigation law track]: addressed to an in-depth study of topics specifically linked to court/out of court phases;
  
• International track: addressed to an in-depth study of topics specifically linked to international public law on the basic of graduates’ academic path prepared to access to national Public Institutions and International and supranational Institutions.

For each of the guided majors, students may choose their elective courses in a selection of courses.

The Program Director is available to provide further information during the office hours (www.unibocconi.eu/officehours). The paths can undergo to slight modifications decided by the competent bodies.

The program requirements of the Integrated Master of Arts in Law program include a first and a second European language as compulsory.
Considering that the language learning corresponds to a long and gradual process and that the output levels of the program must be adequate to the post-studies opportunities, the University:

• Requires the B1 level as entry pre-requisite for English;
  
• Suggests the A2 level for the second language.

In order to favor an adequate initial preparation, on the Bocconi website at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecenter in Minimum Level Required, the University:

• Specifies the grammatical and syntactic knowledge and communication skills relating to the minimum entry levels:
• Specifies in detail the learning materials to achieve such levels.

1 Those students who have more than one mother tongue e.g. because they come from Country/belong to multi-language religions or their parents are of different nationalities, must declare one single native language for the whole duration of their studies.
2 English native speakers MUST make the change of the first language via the Punto Blu immediately after the finalization of the enrollment (see chapter 9 Administrative rules, regulations and deadlines) and choose from among: Italian, French, Portoguese, Spanish, German. Portoguese, Bocconi teaching and exam, is only offered as a second language for students enrolled in the third year of studies. For Portoguese as a first language it is only possible to record the result of one of the international certifications recognized by the University in the study plan. Materials for self-study are available at www.unibocconi.eu/languagecenter in Self-study>E-learning with BBoard.
3 in order to classify the language knowledge, the University follows the  Common European Framework established by the Council of Europe.

Course codes

For English native speakers the language codes are:

• Italian 50136, French 50135, Portoguese 50137, Spanish 50138, German 50139;

Students can choose between:

• International certification / test
• Bocconi exam.
  

The language level acquired by the students is specified in the exam report and on the official academic transcript. The knowledge assessment is expressed into a grade out of thirty calculated for the grade point average.

The exam of the first language of the first year (upon certification/ test or Bocconi exam) is a prerequisite of the exam of the second year.

Below please find general information relating to certifications/tests (in brief certifications).
Detailed information is available on the Bocconi website.
Students can record only one of the certifications recognized by the University, taken at one of the Examination Centers officially recognized, in Italy or abroad.

Recording can be made also in advance than the first exam session the student can register for (therefore starting from the initial enrollment on condition that the certification is still valid).

In any case, the relating credit points and the grade are awarded in the year of studies the language is positioned in. 

Only the credit points relating to the first language are counted for the number of credit points needed to pass to the second year of studies and only if the certification is submitted by 13 July 2018.
If the certification is submitted in a subsequent year than the year of studies the language is positioned in, the student will turn out to be as a student who has not yet passed the course referred to previous year/s until it will be recorded.

The result of the certification is recorded in the student’s academic career with a grade out of thirty, upon conversion based on the tables published on the website.

With reference to recording a certification for the first language in the student’s academic career, the following cases are possible:

• If the certification submitted is of B2 level, it can be recorded only as first year exam;
• if the certification submitted is of general language C1 or C2 level or legal language of  B2, C1 or C2 levels, it can be recorded, upon student’s choice, as first year exam or as both first and second year exams.

To record the certification, students must bring the original certificate at the Office of the Language Centre.
For obtaining a certification during the university studies, the Language Center offers:

• Information and orientation service

The Integrated Master of Arts in Giurisprudenza [Law] (CLMG) allows students to include an educational internship experience apprenticeship/training (from now internship) or similar activity, worth 6 credit points, in their study plans. As an alternative to the internship, students can enter an elective course only. It is possible to participate in other internship (not worth credit points) experiences during your studies or after graduation, which do not have curricular value and for which the information in the following paragraphs and sections does not apply: Duration, Positioning, Internship Recognition, Other activities recognized in lieu of internships.
In this chapter, "curricular intership" exclusively stands for curricular internship with credit points.

Curricular internships must satisfy the following characteristics involving duration, objectives and contents, location and positioning.

Duration

• Minimum 12 weeks, full-time if in Italy;

• Minimum 10 weeks, full-time if abroad.

As for an exception, and always upon authorization of the Program Director Dean of the School of Law, a part-time internship can be approved only if it has a minimum duration of 16 weeks in Italy or abroad.
The number of weeks must be understood as continuous and non-cumulative.
For variations on duration see paragraph 2.4.5. Postponement, suspension, withdrawal/interruption.

Objectives and contents
The internship is an in-the-field training experience and not a labour contract whose regulations are valid in Italy and are set by the law (national and regional law) and by the University. The main objective of internships is to educate. They allow students to gain real 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.

The contents of internships must be aligned with the educational objectives of the Program.
The in the field experience include a company tutor (professional expert) supporting the students.
 
Location
Internships may be taken - In Italy and abroad - in professional studies, firms structures, public and private institutions, professional studios, international organisms, diplomatic agencies, cultural institutions and other organizations (briefly defined as company).
Internships held on the premises of the participant's family property are not accepted.
Internships whose activities are held remotely are not accepted. The University keeps the right to evaluate the eligibility of the internship location.

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 can be found through one of the following channels:

• Markets and External Affair Division (see below);
• School of Law Direction;
• Students can have internships found via their one’s own channels recognized, at highly qualified companies only. In this case, the Program Director and the Internship Office will carefully monitor the internship request Students invite the company to put in contact through the University well in advance than the internship, by accessing the Jobgate Portal.
