BACHELOR DEGREE PROGRAM STRUCTURES
The University reform of 1999, through the joint agreement of the European Ministers of Education meeting in Bologna, transformed the organization of the Italian university by changing the structure of the study plan of the degree programs in the fields of Economics and Management; from one long cycle of four years to the so-called “3 plus 2”, structured in two cycles (undergraduate and graduate).
The result of a homogeneous course of studies in
Europe was the free movement of students in the universities during their educational training and subsequently the movement of graduates in the world of work.
The two study cycles are to be considered separate; at the end of each, a final exam is required, as well as the awarding of a diploma and the certification of the title obtained.
Once the 3-year cycle has been completed the student can decide whether to enter the world of work or continue his university studies by enrolling in the graduate program (Master of Science or a Specialized Master).
Since the start of the Università Bocconi graduate programs, the selection process has been distinct from the undergraduate one; therefore admission to an undergraduate degree program does not imply the automatic admission to a Master of Science program.
The selection criteria for the graduate programs are defined by the organs of administration during the annual plan of activities and are published on the Internet website and in the Bocconi information pack before the candidates’ assessment procedure takes place.
For the 2007-2008 a.y., the Undergraduate School offers the first and second year of studies for the following three-year Bachelor programs in the Faculty of Economics:
- 3 Bachelor programs which are part of the "Management" field of study (no. 17, Ministerial Decree 4 August 2000):
- Bachelor of Economia aziendale e management [Business Administration and Management] (CLEAM); - Bachelor of Economia e finanza [Economics and Finance] (CLEF); - Bachelor of Economia e management per arte, cultura e comunicazione [Economics and Management in Arts, Culture and Communication] (CLEACC);
- 2 Bachelor programs which are part of the "Economics" field of study (no. 28, Ministerial Decree of 4 August 2000):
- Bachelor of Economia e scienze sociali [Economics and Social Sciences] (CLES); - Bachelor of International Economics and Management (BIEM).
Four programs share the same disciplinary foundation: Economia aziendale e management [Business Administration and Management]; Economia e finanza [Economics and Finance]; Economia e scienze sociali [Economics and Social Sciences] and International Economics and Management]. The Bachelor of International Economics and Management is taught in English and has a marked international preparation. Economia e management per arte, cultura e comunicazione [Economics and Management in Arts, Culture and Communication] is characterized by specific course profiles, starting with the first year of studies.
The structure of the 4 programs with a shared disciplinary foundation is centred around 3 modules:
- common foundation: during the first 3 semesters the same subject foundation is proposed for all Bachelor programs. Basic knowledge concerning the fields of political economics, corporate economics, and quantitative methods and law is covered;
- characterization of the Bachelor programs: the fourth semester and part of the fifth deal with subjects which characterize the chosen study program. Specifically, these include the specifics of the program's subject matter, an in-depth understanding of private and public enterprises and how they work, the finance sector, sectors that deal with the general economic system, economics and the political-institutional and social contexts, with a strong focus on internationalism;
- individualizing the educational path: in the fifth and especially in the sixth semesters, students can choose how to complete their educational path by sitting optional exams. They may choose from a major concerning a specific subject area, professional field or certain aspects of the working world of special interest or freely choose from elective courses.
The class groups, comprised on the average of 125 students per class group, are structured in the following way:

The program requirements are expressed in credit points. A credit point is the unit of measurement which determines the workload students are required to fulfill. It is assumed that students are adequately prepared from the start to carry out the educational activities required by the study program. The workload includes classroom activities (lessons, exercises, seminars) individual study, as well as other educational activities such as preparation of the final paper.
In accordance with the ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System), on the average 1 credit point corresponds to 25 hours of work for the student; about 8 hours, (but no more than 10) are spent in the classroom.
The average workload for a full-time student is set at 60 credit points per year as per agreement.
To graduate, students must have acquired 180 credit points.
Credit points are given for all the educational activities which students carry out, such as the exams for both compulsory and elective courses, foreign language and IT exams, and preparation of the final paper.
Credit points do not substitute marks; they are given when passed exams are registered.
Credit points and marks make up the student's academic curriculum.

Educational activities
The program structures are made up of a variety of educational activities to which credits are assigned. Such activities can be divided into the following types:
- compulsory courses;
- activity chosen by the student: electives or internship;
- first and second European Union language;
- computer skills;
- final paper.
The student’s individual study plan must include at least two courses taught in English (compulsory and/or elective).
Please note that in order for students to graduate, the university reform requires that they have knowledge of 2 European Union languages, besides Italian, for all programs in the fields of Economics and Management (first and second language).

Compulsory Courses
Every program structure includes compulsory courses, corresponding to exams that all students enrolled in that program must pass. Therefore compulsory courses are needed in order to satisfy program requirements, and they represent the fundamental building blocks for the achievement of the program's educational objectives. According to current regulations such educational activities are classified as: "basic", "characteristic" of the program's field of study, "similar or supplementary to the characteristic ones", with particular regard to the cultural context and interdisciplinary education, and "independently decided upon by the university". Chapter 2 contains a section devoted to each undergraduate degree program where students can find the detailed program structure with the list of all the compulsory courses, their credit point value and positioning in the program's year of studies.
Course profiles are available on the website at http://www.unibocconi.it/profiles. These profiles are identified with the initials: FO compulsory courses with a "shared foundation" (CLEAM-CLES-CLEF-BIEM) CC courses which characterize the study program
Detailed course programs (course syllabuses) are available from the secretary's office of the Institute responsible for the course, and are also usually handed out by teachers in the classroom on the first days of lessons.
