How do you get into Bocconi? For 2027-28 the Winter session opens on 25 November 2026. Selection is 55% test score and 45% GPA. The online Bocconi test, the SAT option, the €17,700 annual fee and scholarships, from Bocconi's official pages.
Short answer: You apply to Bocconi University (Milan) online through the Apply2B portal. For 2027-28, the last session open to international applicants, the Winter session, runs from 25 November 2026 to 26 January 2027 (3:00 pm Italian time). Selection uses only two elements: test score (55%) from the online Bocconi test, SAT or ACT, and high school GPA (45%). The application fee is €100 and tuition is €17,700 a year.
How does Bocconi select students?
- Selection test (55%): online Bocconi test, SAT or ACT. For the Law School, the online Bocconi test - Law or the LSAT.
- GPA of the third-last and second-last year (45%): for most Turkish high school students that means grades 10 and 11. All grades except physical education, behaviour and religion are converted to a 10-point scale with a calculator in the portal.
Motivation letters, recommendation letters and CVs are not considered. About 3,000 places are available for 2027-28, and up to 50-55% of places on English-taught programmes may go to international applicants.
