Dear students,
We'd like to personally welcome each one of you to the Bocconi Graduate School.
Bocconi Graduate School is an internationally recognized seat of higher learning and research that maintains relations with the finest corporations and institutions. It offers 10 Masters of Science (two years) as well as other pre-experience graduate programs (Specialized master – one year).
Our goals are ambitious: to train people who have enthusiasm for learning, moral integrity and the ability to compete with other highly qualified graduates in the search for the best jobs.
We'll offer you an interactive learning environment with advanced and up-to-date programs, opportunities for group work, exchange experiences with other universities all over the world, internships, national and international seminars, and quality services. We look forward to establishing an open and constructive dialogue with all of you as you take advantage of these opportunities.
In this spirit we would like to outline the principles which lie at the foundation of our work.
Passion for Education
Bocconi Graduate School's enthusiastic approach to learning helps you free your talents and apply your own ideas while you learn the rules and tools of a profession.
Research
Università Bocconi is distinguished for its ability to carry out research at a level comparable to the finest schools around the world. We ask that you assimilate that "researcher's spirit" which paves the way for continued learning.
Relevance
Thanks to relationships with the finest national and international corporations and institutions, the School has been able to create study programs which are recognized and appreciated because they bring together the results of research with knowledge matured through practical experience.
Merit
The full application of individual merit criteria is a chance to get used to an element which characterizes both the working world and adult life in general.
Relationships
A Graduate School cannot be a place where students always study and learn on their own. Relationships with student colleagues, faculty members and other acquaintances represent an important added value which completes your training.
Rigour
Bocconi Graduate School is committed to the continuous improvement of its study programs and learning methods with the utmost practical seriousness and discipline. We ask the same discipline from all of you, and we will take care to encourage ethical and appropriate behaviour.
Internationalism
Bocconi Graduate School's faculty, student body, study programs, research projects, exchange programs and employment opportunities are all international. We urge you to take active part in this fascinating context, to the benefit of your career and as a citizen of the world.
Choices about course content and teaching models, which our faculty members have carefully thought through, are based on these principles. Of course we welcome questions concerning the consistency of attitude and behaviour of our faculty members. And as we have informed you from the beginning, we strongly encourage you to respect the same principles, as well.
Best wishes to all of you for your study and work towards acquiring the skills, knowledge and character that will enable you to embark on a successful career.
Prof. Francesco Saita, Dean of the Graduate School
