The University has a strong focus on research and mainly in finance and economics. It doesn’t have a lot of diversity, 80% of students are Italian, 15% germans and the other 5% comes from other countries. Bocconi has a high quality standard so exams are hard and competitive but they are highly theoretical so you have to read a lot and memorise much of the info.

The quality of the courses is good but the choices of subjects are limited and some of them have very little practical usefulness. For example, HR, M&A and commercial law are taught in a really qualitative way and these courses dont add value to your knowledge when you work
