If not successful, the system will notify in real time if the destination has just reached the 10 students cap.

If a destination – among the ones listed here - is no more displayed, it means that the 10 students cap has already been reached.

If a student cancels the application for that destination, his/her place will become available again.

Complete applications must be received at Punto Blu at least one working week before departure.

STEP 3

After completing the application process by uploading all the requested documents, students must notify the Study Abroad Office through B in Touch.

The Study Abroad Office will then check if the student meets the Bocconi academic and language requirements and will send a notification once the recognition platform is available in the yoU@B diary;

The Study Abroad Office may (or may not) validate the request according to the eligibility criteria. Only upon receipt of this validation via B in Touch the student is definetely allowed to take part in the Free-Mover Semester experience and register it into his/her career once back.
