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.

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.

Further information on how and when to request a program change will be published here after the admission results date. 

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 outcomes depend on a number of factors: performance on the selection test, GPA and study path, places available in the selection round for the programs chosen.
Non-admitted candidates can re-apply  for the following sessions by submitting a brand new online application via the Bocconi online portal within the set deadlines. 

At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, in some selection rounds, it is possible to receive a Waiting List result. Applicants in "waiting list" result are in any case considered as NOT admitted.

Only in the event of a residual availability of places at the end of the enrollment period, the Admissions Office will get in contact with applicants in waiting list according to the admission ranking order.

BOCCONI ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST

The online Bocconi English Language Proficiency Test is reserved to enrolled students. After the enrollment deadline of each round of selection, 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, 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.

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.
