BSc Teaching Structure
The teaching structure of BSc programs is designed with one goal in mind: to provide students with a solid education in the context of an enriching university experience.
Program structure
1st YEAR |
COMPULSORY COURSES Study core subjects for a solid theoretical mindset, required throughout all 3 years of the program. |
IT Skills Specific courses for developing effective digital tools and computer programming (such as Python). |
FIRST FOREIGN LANGUAGE English or another EU language (French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish). |
2nd YEAR |
SPECIALIZATION COURSES More in-depth knowledge of the main topics related to your program. |
SECOND FOREIGN LANGUAGE Chosen from among French, German, Italian, Portuguese or Spanish. |
SOFT SKILLS Seminars on critical thinking, leadership, public speaking, teamwork. |
3rd YEAR |
ELECTIVE COURSES A second level of personalization of your study plan, with a number of electives from a list of available courses. |
INTERNSHIP/EXCHANGE PROGRAM You'll habe the chance to spend a semester in a partner university abroad. Furthermore, you can replace one of the last elective courses with an internship experience in a firm or organization in Italy and abroad (you can also do this during the summer between the second and third year). |
FINAL REPORT This is your project, the opportunity you have to demonstrate your abilities in researching, developing and writing a personal reflection on a topic. It is usually the last step before graduation, but it takes at least two months to prepare and produce an effective final report, so take your time! |
AND THEN WHAT? |
After graduation nearly 90% of our graduates decide to apply for a Master of Science program. In fact, as a Bocconi graduate, you will be equipped with the skills needed to take any MSc program offered by the University. Otherwise, you can decide to continue your studies at another top university abroad, or to enter the job market. The choice is up to you. |
