About the Program

Experience Milan like a local student this summer, in one of Europe's iconic hubs for global business and finance. What better place to bolster your business studies than in a city that’s at the forefront of innovation and entrepreneurship—home to world-renowned companies like Giorgio Armani, Bugatti, and Pirelli?

This program offers the best of both worlds: enroll in a hands-on course with a focus in Finance and Business at our state-of-the-art IES Abroad Milan Center, taught by local faculty. Later in the term, you’ll join Italian and international students for the summer session at Bocconi University, taking a course at one of the world’s premier business schools. Your coursework will come to life during visits to local companies, where you can gain an insider’s perspective on the Italian business mindset.

Beyond the classroom, you’ll embark on field trips to the picturesque Italian Lakes and Riveria and join in on cultural events hosted by the Center or local students. Each field trip and cultural event is carefully curated to deepen your understanding of Italy's rich heritage and what makes it a renowned center of culture, cuisine, and commerce.

Residence Hall

Live in a furnished residence hall located in a safe and lively district. Located on main public transportation routes, residence halls are within a 40-minute commute to the Center, and each residence hall offers fully equipped kitchens, Internet access, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. These apartments are single-sex. Premium location units may carry an additional cost. Residential life can be enhanced by a live-in Italian roommate called a Community Assistant (CA). These Assistants can help you improve your Italian language skills, get to know the city of Milan, and integrate more fully into the local culture. Meals are not included, so you normally eat lunch at a local café or a university cafeteria, and prepare your own breakfast and dinner at home.
