  • Bocconi University Italy
    2014-2015 University Attended – Bocconi University, Italy Feedback 1 INDUCTION/ORIENTATION PROGRAMME Orientation meeting for a couple of hours which was very informative, we received a USB with further information. There was also a desk open for international students to come and ask questions which was open all day for the first 2 weeks. In general the induction was very helpful. ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE Quality of teaching was very good most classes were interactive and engaged the class well. Different from Manchester in that there were no seminars: all classes were lectures between 20-60 people which I preferred. Attending and non-attending option: I would suggest any students to do attending as it makes it much easier. E- learning platform was easy to use and had most of the materials needed. Most courses were well run and interesting. Sometimes information was a bit vague on exams for example. you weren't always given sample questions or told how long the exam was. Also there was no exact date on exam results you just received them at random which gave you little time to prepare if you needed to repeat it. MBS INTERNATIONAL ADMINISTRATION SUPPORT TEAM Always responded quickly to any queries I had and dealt with any issues fairly quickly. I was given all the information I needed for my year abroad. MBS SECOND YEAR MEETINGS Helpful in explaining the exchange and allocation of places process. All parts of the application process were clearly defined making it easier. There was sufficient information on each host university and destination. HOST INTERNATIONAL OFFICE They were generally very helpful but didn’t really provide any support with housing which proved very difficult to find at a reasonable price.

Ownership is 14.6% local government and 84.6% City of Milan. Other shareholders hold the remaining 0.8%. Privatisation (partial) was scheduled for the end of 2001 but was stopped after the events of 11th September. Now the proposed date is October 2002 but this has still to be finalised. Only 30% of the shareholding will be moved into the private sector with no shareholder having more than 5%. There are no legislative changes required.
