Academic content in depth
Bocconi’s high-school summer programme explores business and related social-science topics through thematic labs and group work. The application asks for two preferred labs, and the published format includes lectures, industry guests and a final group presentation. It is distinct from undergraduate or graduate summer programmes and their credit arrangements.
Classes, assignments and workload
The verified 2026 application page describes typical morning classes and afternoon group work. Listed fee inclusions cover academics, materials, some activities, an electronic certificate and a transport card; housing, meals, airport pickup and visa support are excluded. Some language-specific labs have separate arrangements that require careful review.
Eligibility and international applicants
For students in the third-to-last or second-to-last year of high school in Italy or abroad, aged at least 15 at the start. Check the teaching language of each lab.
Dates and costs
Schedule
2026 reference: July 6–17. Awaiting verified 2027 details.
Costs
2026: €2,700 programme fee; the listed two-week residence option costs an additional €1,600. Meals and certain other costs are excluded.
Fit and preparation
A fit for exploring business and social-science subjects. Compare teaching language, project tasks and accommodation as part of the full budget.
Application preparation
Official required materials include student and guardian identification, a headshot and suitable academic records, with attention to transcript language and grading information. Prepare academically by analysing a company or economic issue through a question, evidence and conclusion. Review lab preferences and documents carefully because the page says submitted applications cannot be changed.
Choosing well and reflecting on outcomes
It may suit students comparing business, economics and related approaches while participating in group communication. Separate tuition, accommodation, meals and international travel in the budget. A sold-out or closed 2026 edition says nothing about 2027 availability; recheck the new cycle’s dates, fees, courses and school-stage requirements.
Frequently asked questions
Does the €2,700 course fee include housing?
The cited 2026 fee excludes housing; accommodation is listed separately, and meals also need budgeting.
Can students in every high-school year apply?
The official page specifies the third-to-last or second-to-last school year in Italy or abroad, with age 15 reached by programme start.
Can I freely change preferences after submission?
The current page states that submitted applications cannot be changed, so review documents and lab preferences beforehand.
