Results and Enrollment

Admitted applicants will receive a conditional offer, whose validity is confirmed only under the following conditions:

• submission of the enrollment application within the set deadlines
• fulfillment of the requirements stated in the admission result

Failure to satisfy even one of the above-mentioned conditions by the set deadlines will entail the revocation of the admission and, as a result, the cancellation of the enrollment.


 

POSSIBLE CHANGE OF THE BACHELOR PROGRAM OF ADMISSION

1. After Admission (during the enrollment period)

After receiving an admission result, it will be possible to request a change of program only once, towards one program and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one you were initially admitted to or not previously indicated. For example, if admitted to the second choice, a change cannot be requested towards the first choice, but only towards the third or fourth choice, or towards a program that was not indicated in the admission application.

The request must be submitted once the admission outcome is known, by writing to admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it, in a timely manner to allow the office to evaluate it well in advance of the deadlines provided below. The deadline for submitting the request will in any case precede the enrollment deadline, to allow students to receive their change request result in time for enrollment.

Once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of program will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which programs, etc.

 

2. After Enrollment

Only for those enrolled in the Early and Winter sessions, will it be possible, exceptionally, to submit a request for a change of program from 15 April to 15 May 2024, according to procedures that will be detailed in the coming weeks.

The criteria are as follows:

• Transfer students with credit recognition cannot submit a request.
• Students enrolled in the Spring session cannot submit a request.
• A request may be submitted only once.
• A change can be requested towards a single program and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one initially admitted or not previously indicated, asking for a degree program with a preference level lower than that of admission or not requested before.
• If a request has already been submitted after admission (within the enrollment deadlines) and has been denied, the same request cannot be resubmitted.

In the case of a scholarship award, if the change of program request is accepted, the maintenance of the benefit is not guaranteed.

Even in this phase, once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

 

3. At the End of the First Year of the Bachelor Program

It will be possible to request a change of enrollment program at the end of the first year, according to procedures and timelines defined by the academic secretariat. For more information, have a look at the Guide to the University, in the Administrative rules, procedures and deadlines section.

“Non-admission” means that the Admissions Committee has selected applicants in accordance with the admission criteria set for the specific round/category of applicants but the ranking position of the student is below the average of admitted applicants in the choice/choices indicated in the online application.

If you were not admitted the first time you apply, you may apply one more time during the same academic year. However, please be aware that:

• You may apply a maximum of two times for the same academic year; any subsequent applications will not be evaluated.
• During the second application, at least one element of your application needs to have changed when submitted for the second time (i.e. higher test score, changes in your choice of program, etc.).
• Due to the overlapping calendar, you may not be able to apply for the second time in the 5th round if you applied for the first time in the 4th round.

A result of “STAND-BY/Waiting List” position is only possible for Bocconi applicants in the II Round of selection.

Applicants included on the "waiting list” are in any case NOT admitted students. In fact, due to a lack of available spots in the choices indicated, it was not possible to assign the applicant to one of the chosen Master of Science programs.

At the end of the enrollment period, if there is remaining availability of spots due to lack of enrollment among admitted applicants, the top non-admitted applicants on the waiting list may be contacted.

The Admissions Office will contact students following these criteria:

• Priority will be given to students who have expressed the MSc program for which a place has been made availableduring the application for admission. 
• In the absence of students on the waiting list who have expressed such preference, other students who have not indicated the MSc Program available may be called, in order to check their interest in admission.

BOCCONI ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST

The online Bocconi English Language Proficiency Test, that is reserved to enrolled students, will be activated starting in mid-February 2024. From that date onward, it will be possible to book and purchase test attempts on the webtesting platform already used for the online Bocconi test.

The test can be taken up to a maximum of 3 times from February to June 2024, with each attempt costing 30 euros. It will consist of 50 questions of various types. Upon completion, a certificate indicating the achieved CEFR level will be issued. This certificate can be used for the purpose of enrollment at Bocconi for those who have not yet obtained a language certification.

The certificate from the Bocconi online English language proficiency test will be valid only as an admission requirement for Bocconi and not for other purposes, both outside and during your Bocconi student career (e.g. English exam substitution).

ALTISSIA PLATFORM

Additionally, with the aim of providing support for language study and practice, the Altissia platform is made available to all enrolled students. Altissia is an application that gives you access to personalized language courses in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese, featuring exercises and multimedia resources.

This tool is particularly designed for practicing the English language, and its use is recommended to start your courses with adequate support. It also serves as preparation for taking the Bocconi English Language Proficiency Test and fulfilling the English language requirement for enrollment.

Transfer students are all the applicants enrolled (or that have already completed a Bachelor/Master of Science degree) in a university (not Bocconi), in Italy or abroad.

Transfer students follow the same admission process up to the enrollment as all other applicants (University transcripts are not evaluated for the selection). 

Once admitted, transfer students enroll in the first year of the program and they may request or not request recognition of exams taken in the university of origin.
