Bachelor in Global Law

About the course

An English-taught law degree in Bocconi’s Law School, taught to a single class of 80 students. It is a separate programme from Bocconi’s Italian-taught five-year integrated Law degree.

Entry requirements for Irish students

• Italy’s Ministry of Universities accepts a school-leaving qualification that follows 12 years of schooling and gives university entry in the country where it was awarded, and the Leaving Certificate normally meets this. No CAO points are used. Bocconi scores your school results from your third-last and second-last years of school (45% of the decision). If you did Transition Year, ask Bocconi which years it will use. Confirm Leaving Cert eligibility with admissions.
• The selection test counts for 55% of the decision. Law School applicants can use the LSAT or the Bocconi Online Test – Law, as well as the Bocconi Online Test, the SAT or the ACT. Applicants who are not Italian citizens and not resident in Italy and who will be under 17 on 1 September 2027 cannot be considered; those aged 17 must appoint a guardian until they turn 18.
• English certificate needed at B2 level, for example IELTS 6.5 (at least 6.0 in every section), TOEFL iBT 88, Cambridge C1 Advanced 173 or Duolingo 110. Bocconi’s page lists no exemption for native speakers, so ask admissions whether Irish students or Leaving Cert English are exempt.
