Its Full-Time MBA is a 12-month full-time program in general management, taught entirely in English. The course is designed for professionals with a few years’ industry experience and is open to students from all over the world.
The Program starts with a one-week MBA boot camp, during which the students are asked to understand and live the essence of your forthcoming year.
SDA Bocconi MBA structure is organized around three cornerstones: Planning and Innovation, Leading people and Processes, Controlling and Investment. These core courses represent the competence requirements of a global manager.
