Choice of electives
When enrolling in the second year of studies (25 July - 29 August 2019), where applicable, students must choose their major and both first and second semester electives to be included in the study plan, selecting the language of instruction. Before choosing the major and electives, students are advised to check the list of courses available, course profiles, class timetables, and the tables of "Incompatible" and "Banned" courses and Subject Groups available in the course profiles (www.unibocconi.eu/courses). When enrolling in the academic year, where applicable, Bocconi students participating in an international program should choose elective courses coherent with their interests in case they have to sit for some exams at Bocconi (*). They will be given the opportunity to change their study plan after they have completed the conversion and recording in the academic career of exams take abroad (see 9.2.7 Study Plan Change for Students Participating in International Programs). In addition to the periods for all students (25 July - 29 August 2019 and 8-21 January 2020), they will have one additional opportunity through yoU@B (see “Allocation of Electives”). Students who include even one exam without correspondence in the study plan as an elective course are required to change to a free track or Global experience (for students enrolled in M and ACME), if they had previously chosen a different track. The educational offer for the 2019-20 academic year includes also an e-learning class group for some courses already taught in the same semester using traditional methods.
