Exchange Program 2025-26

In order to better understand which partner universities fit best with your need and program expectations, Bocconi provides the materials and information below.

Please note that the Destination Brochures for the Exchange Program 2025-26 will be published in mid-February. 

How to read the destinations brochure

For each Partner University, you will find all the relevant information for your application, and in particular:

  • university code which unambiguously identifies the university, school and department. For European destinations 2 codes are indicated, the first is the Erasmus code and the second is the University code, please note that the Erasmus code is not related to the city of your exchange destination;
  • number of available slots and any specifications (e.g. possible notes on any slots out of the total reserved to specific degree programs). Slots will be defined on an annual basis and may change based on existing bilateral agreements with partner universities;
  • exchange period(s) available (terms). If two or more terms are indicated as available, if selected, students will make a choice during the acceptance stage; if only one period is indicated as available, selected students will be automatically assigned to that term. In case of universities with a limited number of slots for each semester, there will be specified slots for each term;
  • minimum language required for the selection and possible additional language requirements or additional academic requirements that the student must consider when applying;
  • study programs the university is recommended for/reserved for/not available for, based on the educational offer available. Students cannot indicate universities reserved for study programs other than their own or not available for their own program, at the time of application. Students may indicate universities recommended for study programs other than their own at the time of application, subject to careful evaluation of the offer of courses at that destination and compatibility with needs of the program structure.

Tools

To assist you in your application for the Exchange Program, we offer the following resources, designed to help you make informed choices in the application:

  • Reports: in the Exchange Program Reserved Area you can access reviews from previous exchange students about the accommodation, academic system, and their overall experiences.
    These reviews are useful to have an insight into how the Exchange Program in a particular institution might be;
  • Guide to the Exchange Program: comprehensive rules and detailed information on how the Exchange Program works. The Guides 2025/26 are available here for undergraduate, graduate, law and Global Law students, here for the Bachelor in International Politics and Government students- BIG, and here for IM Global Experience students.

Citizenship and visa requirements

International students or students with dual citizenship cannot apply for some Schools in the countries for which they hold current citizenship. Details will be available in the 2025-26 Destinations list.

Rules for entry the Countries may differ according to students’ citizenship. It is up to the student to verify the suitable procedures for obtaining the appropriate visa, if required, and any other documents necessary for the Exchange Program to be carried out in full compliance with local laws.

Accommodation

Bocconi Study Abroad Office is not in charge of students' accommodation; the host university will provide some help and information directly to selected students (if available).
The accommodation offered by the host universities abroad can vary: check each partner school's website/factsheet and read former exchange students' reports in the Reserved Area for details. 
 

Costs and scolarships

Students who study abroad pay regular Bocconi tuition for the semester they are abroad, they do not have to pay fees to the partner institution.
