Law (5-year single-cycle program)
A 5-year single-cycle program taught in Italian, blending solid legal training with Bocconi's distinctive economic and international flavour.
Overview
What it's about
A 5-year program taught in Italian that combines traditional solid legal training (civil, criminal, administrative law) with Bocconi's unmistakable economic and international flavour. Beyond the foundations of law, students develop specialist skills in corporate, financial markets, tax and labour law. This path prepares students for the state exams that unlock classical legal professions (lawyer, judge, notary), and also trains highly qualified in-house counsel and consultants.
