Università Bocconi was founded in 1902. Since its inception, it has been an independent institution, open to innovation and led by strong democratic values. Over the years it has established itself as a leading university and has played an important part in Italy’s social and economic development, while remaining financially and politically independent.
More than a century after its inception, Bocconi is still true to the values that first inspired its creation. Through its academic offering and robust investment in research, Bocconi manages to address industry needs for training and innovation, while focusing on modernization and cultural integration.
