Bocconi University and employers share a common view on the educational aim of internships: practical training, orientation to future careers and the first step into the job market. This is why an internship is part of the academic curriculum, and is mandatory for all Master of Science students.

Internships act as the gateway to the professional world: they are concrete and educational on-the-job experiences which aim to develop skills and help with future career choices. Graduate students can only begin upon completion of the curricular coursework of their first year of study. Internships can take place in Italy or abroad.
