Admissions

To apply for MAFINRISK, candidates must meet the following requirements:

• Academic qualification
  You must hold:
  • a three-year undergraduate degree (Laurea Triennale, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Arts), or

  • a higher degree (Laurea Magistrale, Master of Science, 4- or 5-year Degree),
    in one of the following areas: 

    Economics (Economics, Banking and Finance, Business, Management, etc.)

    Quantitative disciplines (Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Engineering, Computer Science, etc.)

    awarded by Italian or international universities*.

• English language requirement
  A minimum B2 (upper-intermediate) level of English is required.

* Final-year students who have not yet completed their degree may apply. Admission will be conditional upon obtaining the degree within 90 days from the start of the program.

Note about concurrent enrollment in two study programs.

The admission process is based on a dossier evaluation and, when required, an interview. The goal is to assess each candidate's academic background, competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities), and motivation.

Candidates are assessed on the following elements:

• Admission test scores
  GMAT/GRE or Bocconi online Test (official test score must be uploaded to the application portal)
• Academic curriculum (the self declaration or the official certificate issued by your university confirming your study plan and the exams you have completed, must be uploaded to the application portal)  
• Dossier and motivation (you will not be required to upload a CV; instead, on the application portal you will need to complete specific sections dedicated to the different aspects of your profile. You will also be required to write a text in English explaining your motivation for applying to the Mafinrisk program)
• Reference letters (optional)
• Video Presentation (optional)
• Interview (conducted only if deemed necessary by the Program Direction)

ONLINE BOCCONI TEST

The online Bocconi Test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions to be completed in 75 minutes.
The questions cover different reasoning areas, with the aim of assessing the logical, analytical, and problem-solving abilities of candidates coming from diverse academic backgrounds.

The test is delivered through an external web-testing platform equipped with a proctoring system that monitors candidates during the examination. Within the platform, applicants can view the available test dates, book their preferred session, take the test online, view their results, and download the official score certificate.

Candidates may choose whether to take the test in English or Italian.

Please check this page carefully starting from January 2026 for detailed and updated information about the online Bocconi test (test structure, test dates and booking procedures).

Bocconi graduates and graduating students (Bocconi Internal Candidates) are also required to submit an admission test.

GMAT and GRE

As an alternative to the Bocconi online admission test, candidates may submit a GMAT or GRE score.
Detailed information on the tests and score-sending procedures is available at this link.

If you have multiple results (for example, the Bocconi Test and the GMAT), you may upload all of them in your application: the system will automatically consider the most competitive score.

The application must be completed online through the Apply2B portal.

The procedure includes several steps, so it is recommended to start well in advance to have enough time to carefully review the information entered and, if necessary, contact the relevant offices for clarification.

To complete your application, follow these steps:

1. Access the Apply2B portal through the provided link and select your citizenship (Italy or other).
2. In the top right corner, select the correct applicant category:
   • Graduate Italian
   • Graduate International
   • Bocconi Internal Candidates
3. Click on “Log in/Register” to create your account.
4. Select “Find programs” to start your application.
5. Complete all required sections, following the order suggested by the system.
6. Once you have finished, click “Submit” to send your application.

You may edit your application until the deadline of the relevant round. After making any changes, remember to click “Submit” again to confirm and resubmit the updated application.

The following documents are required:

• A valid ID
• The result of one of the accepted admission tests (Bocconi Online Test, GMAT, or GRE)*
• The payment receipt for the application fee of €50

*To apply, candidates must have already taken an admission test (Bocconi Online Test, GMAT, or GRE) and have the required score.

Having taken the Bocconi Online Test (one or more attempts) does not automatically register you for the selection round. To take part in the selection, candidates must submit an application within the required deadlines. Test results are not acquired automatically: candidates must choose which result to submit (if they have taken more than one attempt).

Results and Enrollment Confirmation

Candidates can view the outcome of the selection by logging into the Apply2B portal using the same credentials (username and password) used to submit the online application.
