Admission test
Italian applicants can apply with:

- Online Bocconi test score.
For both options, they need to obtain the test score report by the application deadline, in order to complete the application form.
The online Bocconi test accepted for this program is the same as the one accepted to apply for other regular Master of Science programs.
- Students who have already applied to a regular Master of Science program and who have taken the online Bocconi test by 22 March 2023, can use the same test score report in order to apply for this program.
- Students who are only applying to this program may take the online Bocconi test starting from 27 March 2023 to 24 May 2023 (last test date).
Generally speaking, Italian applicants have two test attempts.
- If the applicant has already attempted the online Bocconi test twice to apply for regular MSc programs, they will have to choose one of the test score reports to apply for this program as well.
- If the applicant has already taken the online Bocconi test once (by 22 March), they can use the test attempt left and take a second test from 27 March to 24 May 2023 to apply for this program.

Bocconi test for the first time, the test can be taken twice, from 27 March to 24 May 2023.
Check the instructions and regulations to register for the online Bocconi test.
Please note that the last test date will be 24 May 2023 for applying for the Master of Science in Artificial Intelligence (with booking completed by 22 May 2023).
