Entry requirements for Irish students

• Italy accepts a foreign school-leaving qualification that follows at least 12 years of schooling and gives university access in the home country, which the Leaving Certificate normally does; Bocconi checks eligibility itself and may ask for extra documents such as a declaration of value or CIMEA statement. Bocconi does not publish Leaving Cert subject, Higher Level or H-grade rules, and CAO points are not used, so confirm with Bocconi admissions.
• Admission is decided 55% on a selection test (Bocconi Online Test, SAT or ACT) and 45% on grades from the third-to-last and second-to-last years of secondary school; Irish applicants should confirm which years are used if they did Transition Year.
• English: B2 level for English-taught programmes. Accepted certificates include IELTS Academic 6.5 (at least 6.0 in each section), TOEFL iBT 88, Duolingo 110 and Cambridge FCE/CAE/CPE (173+). Bocconi’s list does not mention an exemption for Irish Leaving Cert English, so ask admissions whether you need a certificate.
