About World Bachelor in Business, BSc - at Bocconi University

Three world-class universities, three continents, three degrees
One unparalleled experience

The World Bachelor in Business (WBB) partnership represents a new undertaking in higher education. Selected students live on three continents over four years, where they learn from internationally renowned teachers and scholars, exploring diverse cultures and pushing themselves to new limits.

The World Bachelor in Business is the first undergraduate partnership of its kind, designed to engage intellectually curious students in a business curriculum that connects leading edge teaching methods with cultural immersion and real-world experiences. English is the common language of the WBB, and students become versed in the language of business in Asia, Europe and North America during extracurricular activities and internships arranged in each country. This is a new approach to education that will prepare a new generation of leaders for the opportunities of an interconnected world.

In the first year WBB students delve into the heart of Los Angeles to explore the emerging relationships between technology and entertainment. In the second year they meet with financial leaders in the high rises of Hong Kong to discuss the global banking industry. In Milan, in the third year they consolidate their economic and management knowledge as they study the complexities of integrating the many countries of the European Union. After a fourth year at the partner school of their choice, World Bachelor in Business graduates will possess analytical, social and linguistic skills that will uniquely qualify them for careers in a rapidly changing business arena.

While the academic breadth and expertise of these three great universities is at the heart of the World Bachelor in Business, the advantage of studying in distinct, dynamic locations is also essential to the overall experience.
The WBB partnership provides students with intensive exposure to three major economic and cultural centers in the world.
