Bocconi students and graduates have a variety of opportunities to get in touch with actual employers worldwide.

This is why 97.1% of our MSc graduates are employed one year after graduation. 

At Bocconi, you will have many opportunities to experience an active and exciting time outside the classroom, by participating in sports, cultural activities, entertainment, student associations, student-run media and volunteering.
