COURSES

CLASSES AT BOCCONI: You can find the course description and code on the Bocconi Website. Each course page shows the course objectives and the assesment methods. The latter is a very important issue because the assessment and exam methods change depending whether you are an ATTENDANT STUDENT or a NON ATTENDANT STUDENT. People who attend classes can usually write midterm exams (the professor will decided whether to set midterms or not) and the professor him/herself will tell you, during the first day of classes, all the materials and documents necessary to take the exam. This means that not always a textbook is needed as the finals can be based on class notes, group presentations, case studies, online textbooks or class slides, which you can download from your personal student page once the classes start. For non attendant students a textbook is usually required and the program for the exam is a lilttle bit wider than for attendant students. Moreover non attendant students cannot write midterms but can only take finals during the examination sessions our university sets. We strongly recommend to choose the attendant student program as the work for the finals is going to be much lighter!

EXAMS DATES: Bocconi provides a special examination session for Exchange Students which takes place the week before Christmas to allow Exchange Students to go back home and spend Christmas with their families. However this special sessions’s not compulsary to take, in the sense that you can decide to skip that and take exams during the regular examination session which takes place during January and February. 

Midterms are usually taken on October (first part of the course program) and December (second part of the course program), therefore people who decide to take midterms can only write them on these periods and not in January (during the regular examination session).

If you fail one or more exams during the special session you can write again your exam/s during the regular session.
