Since its founding in 1902, Bocconi University has always stood for pluralism, independence and entrepreneurial spirit that support the socio-economic progress of Italy and Europe through scientific innovation, advanced research and the training of tomorrow’s business leaders. This is the meaning behind our motto, “Knowledge That Matters”.
The University is widely recognized as one of the top European institutions of higher learning and research in the social sciences and in particular in the fields of Management, Economics, Finance, Legal Studies, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science and Political Science.
Our campus is located in downtown Milan, Italy’s most cosmopolitan and dynamic city and a capital of commerce, design, fashion and music. Milan combines history with innovation, and business with leisure, making it the perfect city for a well-rounded university experience.
Bocconi is committed to building a university that values diversity, equity and inclusion, where everyone can grow by learning thanks to the diversity that each of us embodies. Our students join an open and multicultural community of people from countries all over the world, allowing them to build a network of relations that lasts a lifetime.
A strong theoretical background is combined with real-world applications in our classrooms, with students learning from expert faculty and attending courses at the forefront of modern higher learning. Bocconi programs nurture critical thinking, an open-minded attitude and the ability to work in international environments, all while providing valuable exposure to our employer network and partner schools around the world. Indeed, the aim is to promote an attitude of responsible entrepreneurship and contribute to the development of leading citizens of our globalized world.
