If you are an international student enrolled in an English-taught program at an Italian university, you must apply as an Italian candidate.

There are a total of 28 first-year class groups available, each of which typically includes between 60 and 85 students, depending on the program. ​

The large majority of the Master of Science programs are taught in English. 

Applicants can choose up to 5 programs on their application. ​

The selection process is based on the admission test performance, your GPA, your "Dossier" and your Motivation. ​

We accept the GMAT, GRE and the online Bocconi  test. 

The admission result will depend on a ranking that is calculated on the basis of these elements and considering the spots available during each selection round, as well as the programs chosen, the number of applications received, etc. ​

 

We suggest that you check to make sure you have a valid and recognized Bachelor qualification before applying.  ​

You should also check the list of certificates and diplomas accepted to fulfill the English requirement for enrollment, in case of admission.
