Choosing and confirming your courses
Incoming visiting students are required to inform Bocconi about their course choice in two steps:
1.COURSE SELECTION — 6-12 July 2023
After being admitted to the program, students can have a look at the list of courses open to incoming visiting students for the upcoming semester.
Visiting students can have access to any of the courses available on that list, regarless their background.
In order to select their courses, students have to:
- Log in to MyApplication
- Go to the section "course choice"
- Select from a drop down menu as many courses as they would like to try (up to 8).
- Save the section (no need to re-submit your application form)
When in doubt, we suggest that students select all the courses they would like to try. Later on, they will be able to drop any course they are not willing to attend.
Once the course selection is completed, the course selection won't be editable until the enrollment phase.
PLEASE NOTE: students are required to take at least 2 courses per semester, otherwise their admission will be cancelled.
2. COURSE CONFIRMATION (12 — 14 September 2023)
During the first week of the semester (6 — 12 September) students will attend all the courses indicated in their online application, in order to make sure that their study plan suits their interest and that both the content and the schedule of each course fit their expectations.
After that, they are required to take their final decision on their study plan for the semester, before enrolling.
During the enrollment (12 — 14 September) students will need to confirm their course choice, based on the first week they've spent at Bocconi.
They can add/drop/change their courses, but in the end they will need to confirm at least 2 courses for their semester.
After the enrollment period, no further changes will be allowed.
For this reason, it is mandatory to double-check the class timetable and exam schedule of the courses selected before confirming your choice, in order to avoid possible overlaps.
Exam dates can't be changed or postponed, so your decision has to take this into consideration
