Università Bocconi is a private research institution in Milan founded in 1902, internationally renowned in economics, management, finance, data science, and law. Because Bocconi is private, tuition fees are fixed independently rather than determined by the public Italian ISEE scale. Admission is selective and operates through early, winter, and spring rounds for undergraduate degrees, and across four dedicated rounds for Master of Science degrees. Applicants sit the computer-adaptive online Bocconi Test or submit standardized test scores (SAT/ACT for bachelors, GMAT/GRE for masters).
