Guides to the university

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 both the study plan  and  the degree programs in the fields of Economics and Management; from one long four-year cycle 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 that  of 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 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 2013-2014 academic year, the Undergraduate School offers the first and second year of studies for the following three-year Bachelor programs:

• 3 Bachelor programs which are part of the "Management" field of study (no. L-18, Ministerial Decree 16 March 2007):
  - 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) ;
• 1 Bachelor program which is part of the "Economics" field of study (no. L-33, Ministerial Decree 16 March 2007):
  - Bachelor of Economia e scienze sociali [Economics and Social Sciences] (CLES);
• 1 Bachelor program (interdisciplinary program) which is part of the "Economics" field of study (no. L-33, Ministerial Decree 16 March 2007) and of the "Management" field of study (no. L-18, Ministerial Decree 16 March 2007):
  - Bachelor of International Economics, Management and Finance (BIEMF).

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, Management and Finance.

The Bachelor of International Economics, Management and Finance 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, the subject matter of the program includes, 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  choose how to complete their educational path by sitting elective exams which may be chosen from among seven different clusters or selecting elective courses from among the general list.  

The class groups, comprised on average of 125 students per class group, are structured as follows:

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 both classroom activities (lessons, exercises, seminars) and 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 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 earned 180 credit points.

Credit points are given for all educational activities which students carry out, such as 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.

The program structures are made up of a variety of educational activities to which credits are assigned. Such activities can be divided as follows:
 

• compulsory activities: compulsory courses, first and second European language, seminars, computer skills, final paper);
• activity chosen by the student: electives, activities carried out at other universities, third foreign language, internship);

The student's individual study plan must include at least one course taught in English (compulsory or elective).

For students to graduate, the university reform requires that they have knowledge of 2 European languages, for all programs in the fields of Economics and Management (first and second language). The rules for the choice of foreign language courses are specified in chapter 3.1 Foreign Languages.

Every program structure includes compulsory courses, corresponding to exams that all students enrolled in that program must pass.
Therefore compulsory courses are essential in order to satisfy program requirements, and are the fundamental building blocks for the educational objectives of the program.  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".  

"Bachelor Degree program structures" contains a section devoted to each Bachelor 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.eu/courses.

Detailed course programs (course syllabuses) are available on line, and are also usually handed out by teachers in the classroom on the first days of lessons.

The educational activities chosen by the students, which include the elective courses, are selected by the students to complete their study plan. The elective course is worth 6 credit points.

As an alternative to an elective course it is possible to carry out a curricular internship.

Course profiles of elective courses are available on the website at http://www.unibocconi.it/courses.

Detailed course programs (course syllabuses) are available on line, and are also usually handed out by teachers in the classroom on the first days of lessons.
