4 - The student must acquire 12 CFU by selecting any of the courses offered by the University of Milan, provided that they are coherent with MBC topics and that the course content does not overlap with those present in mandatory and guided-choice courses. Obviously, as open choice courses, the student can pick the remaining guided-choice courses that he/she had not inserted in the study plan. If unavailable in English, open-choice courses can be taken in Italian provided that the student is fluent in Italian Language.
There are no propaedeutic courses in the MBC programme that limit progression from the first to the second year.
