Entry requirements for Irish students

• Bocconi publishes no Leaving Cert rule on subjects, levels or H grades, and it does not use CAO points. Italy accepts a school-leaving qualification that follows at least 12 years of schooling, which the Leaving Certificate normally meets. Confirm with Bocconi admissions how your results will be assessed.
• Selection is 55% test score (Bocconi Online Test, SAT or ACT) and 45% your grades from the third-last and second-last years of school. Strong maths is essential for this course. Check with Bocconi whether Transition Year counts as one of the assessed years.
• English-taught programmes need B2 English, for example IELTS Academic 6.5 (at least 6.0 in each section), TOEFL iBT 88 or Duolingo 110. Bocconi’s certificate page does not say whether Irish students or native speakers are exempt, so ask admissions whether Leaving Cert English is accepted.
