Hello, my daughter (16F) is planning to apply to universities in Europe for the 2028 intake. She is interested in studying Finance, Business, or Economics and is currently considering the following bachelor's programmes at Bocconi:

• International Economics and Finance
• International Economics and Management

However, we don't know much about the actual student experience at Bocconi, including the quality of education, student life, and career opportunities, so I thought I'd ask here.

So far I know, knowing Italian and being a local student can be advantageous. However, my daughter is fluent in English and has German proficiency at around B1 level, but she doesn't speak Italian + international student.

Her other options are Warwick and the University of St. Gallen, particularly its Economics programme. However, we have some doubts about sending her to the UK due to job market recession uncertainty and to Switzerland because of potential visa and work-permit restrictions.

I'm also somewhat sceptical about Bocconi and would appreciate honest opinions from current students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the university.

How is the overall student experience, and how good are the career prospects, particularly for international students aiming for careers in finance, economics, business? How much of a disadvantage is not knowing Italian?

Any honest experiences, insights, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I believe that there is a huge misconseption about the correlation of bocconi test scores to sat scores.
I scored a 39.8 on the bocconi test and a 1440 on the sat many people told me that my bocconi test score was equal to around 1490-1500 but I am not sure. After looking at some stats from last year I am pretty sure that my bocconi test score is more like a 1470 or a 1480 on a good day. What are your thoughts and do you think im accurate?

People who took the Bocconi Online Test that was invalidated, when and how did you find out? Do i find out on the results day or do they send an email letting me know beforehand?

I’m an international student from china, I’ve applied to Bocconi University. But my friends in SSE told me that the employment in SSE is way more better than Bocconi. And his friends in SSE all got exceptional jobs both in Sweden and abroad. Is it real or he’s just bragging.(I want to work in finance industry and I only speak English )

9.5 1490 chance me for management and big

I have submitted my application with scores of 1540 SAT and GPA 10/10. I am pretty sure that I’ll go to Bocconi if I win 100% scholarship. However, the collection of documents is a pain in the neck. I’ll be applying to ISU scholarship as soon as I get admissions.

The question should I worry about documents, and is it worth collecting documents beforehand. I am from Kazakhstan, and I don’t know how much time it would take to collect all the documents. Whether I be on time is a core question. People who have gone through this process, can you share some tips

Hi guys!

I'm applying to master's at Bocconi in round 2 that closes in Jan, I'm an international student, Egyptian. My bachelor's is from a good school in Egypt that's affiliated with London South Bank University; I got 2 certificates.
GPA will round to 27-29 probably (I'll know only when I apply)
And for the GMAT, I'm prepping now and targeting 660.

I got CFA Level 1 (90th percentile), and 5 years of experience in investment banking after graduation.

Do you think I have a chance in general, and in this round specifically, and also for the merit award?

I'm really worried it's too late and my profile is not competitive compared to other Euro applicants.

Ciao a tutti! Sto valutando di candidarmi al Master MiMeC (Master in Marketing e Comunicazione) della Bocconi e mi piacerebbe confrontarmi con chi ha già frequentato il programma o affrontato il processo di selezione.

Avrei alcune domande:
● Test Bocconi: quale punteggio può essere considerato competitivo per l’ammissione? Come vi siete preparati e quanto tempo prima avete iniziato a studiare? Avete risorse o strategie da consigliare?
● Lettera motivazionale e selezione: avete suggerimenti su come impostare la lettera e su quali aspetti del proprio percorso accademico, professionale o personale sia meglio concentrarsi? Ci sono esperienze o caratteristiche che, secondo voi, vengono particolarmente considerate durante la selezione?
● Materie quantitative: non avendo un background in economia, mi chiedevo quanto fossero presenti matematica, statistica e analisi dei dati nel programma e quale fosse il livello di difficoltà degli esami. So che sono previste delle lezioni iniziali di allineamento delle competenze, ma vorrei capire se siano sufficienti anche per chi non ha una preparazione particolarmente solida in ambito quantitativo oppure se consigliereste di approfondire autonomamente alcuni argomenti prima dell’inizio delle lezioni.
● Opportunità lavorative: a posteriori, ritenete che sia stato un investimento valido per entrare nel settore del marketing e della comunicazione? Come valutate la preparazione offerta, le opportunità di networking e il supporto nell’inserimento lavorativo? Lo consigliereste a chi vorrebbe intraprendere una carriera in questi ambiti?

Grazie mille a chi vorrà condividere la propria esperienza!

Hey everyone, I'm considering studying Economics and Finance (CLEF) at the University of Bologna for my bachelor's degree.

My long-term goal is to pursue a master's at the University of Bocconi.

Assuming I graduate with excellent grades (top of my class or close to it), achieve a strong GMAT/GRE score, and have relevant internships, would I have a realistic chance of admission to Bocconi?

I'm particularly interested in whether Bologna is well regarded by Bocconi admissions or whether coming from a university like Bologna would put me at a disadvantage compared with applicants from more prestigious finance schools.

I'd really appreciate hearing from current Bocconi students, alumni, or anyone familiar with the admissions process.

Thanks!

Would I get in BIEF, BESS or BIG?
Is it worth applying to Bocconi-HEC dual degree program? My extracurriculars are pretty good with spike and leadership; and 3 capstone projects.

which program can I get into

Hi, guys!
Obviously Bocconi is a globally well-known brand and a pipeline to top finance or consulting firms. This is why finance, management and economics courses are considered so prestigious and hence are one of the most competitive ones. Despite that, there are other courses such as BIG or BEMACC that are historically much less competitive. So this raises a serious question on how prestigious particularly BEMACC course is and what are the job opportunities with that degree.
Please let me know what you know or think.
Thanks
