Getting Ready for Bocconi Early Application Period!

In recent years, Bocconi University has become one of the most sought-after institutions among Italian universities. The early application period will take place between

September 3–26, 2025.

Bocconi admits students in three rounds – Early, Winter, and Spring. Students with strong GPAs and competitive test scores aim to take advantage of the additional quota offered during the early round. Located in Milan, the university offers undergraduate programs fully in English and admits around 2,800 students each year. Notably, 50–55% of the places in English-taught programs are allocated to international students, highlighting Bocconi’s global outlook.

Ranked 17th globally in Economics according to the QS World Ranking, Bocconi University previously required a CV and motivation letter during the application process. Today, admission decisions are based 45% on school GPA and 55% on test scores. For all undergraduate programs except Law, applicants must submit either SAT/ACT results or the Bocconi Test.

This makes the August SAT exam particularly important—please note that the registration deadline is Friday, August 8.

For some students, the Bocconi Test may be a preferred option. It can be taken online, but must be completed between August 24 and September 24. Reviewing the subjects provided on Bocconi’s website and practicing with the simulator is highly recommended.

Last academic year, during EUC Group events in Turkey, Unitedwords had the pleasure of hosting Barbara Prevosti, Bocconi’s Admissions Officer, in İzmir. She will once again be in Turkey this fall to deliver presentations.
