Grit, determination and focus are the tools that you need to be successful in the program. We should also not forget that curiosity, open mindedness and enthusiasm help each participant to thrive in this diverse cultural setting. |

In my career, I have always been exposed to an international business environment, meeting people from all over the world, enjoying time and sharing ideas. I thought EMMS would have been similar, with the addition of having the chance to boost my career thanks to two of the world's best Business Schools. |
I could not believe that EMMS was even more. I realized I was receiving all the benefits I mentioned above while feeling young again, as during university, with a new freshness provided by smart classmates sharing their experiences in real business cases. And this in parallel with plenty of other unique cornerstones: Milano, Barcelona, Madrid; your family; your work. What a wonderful and fruitful program!

Last week we had a workshop in a well-known multinational company and one of their senior partners liked my presentation the most and complimented me on it. I am convinced I received that compliment because EMMS is not only providing me theoretical knowledge, but is also providing me with more self-esteem and self-confidence. My spirit is high and the conviction that I have made the right choice gets stronger every day. |

The EMMS program was a real revolution and evolution in my life as it allowed me to re-connect with the international world. I had this chance in past work and now I feel satisfied again to be in touch with people from different cultures and who think in different ways. That is the human part of EMMS, the most important part. |

EMMS was an experience difficult to beat, a unique combination of inspiring professors + international experienced colleagues + interactive flexible learning + modern updated curricula, which results in the perfect armonic recipe for a powerful, state-of-the-art master marketing program. |

I learned so many things during my year in EMMS. The program touches not only professional growth, but also other aspects of life. The intensive teamwork and group assignments were integral and essential parts of study but so were socialization and acculturation. I expected EMMS would have a big impact on me, but I would never have predicted this much. The experience is one I will always treasure. |

After EMMS, I took a position as Sales Manager-Eastern Caribbean for Virgin Atlantic, based in Barbados and responsible for growing the business for all the islands in the Eastern Caribbean. This is a wonderful opportunity and I know that one of the contributing factors to the offer was being a part of the EMMS program. |
EMMS has been a challenging and fulfilling experience and the knowledge runs far deeper than theoretical/classroom concepts.

After going through the program I feel that my technical skills in marketing and sales are sharper. You also get an opportunity to interact with a global student group. Everyone has something to contribute, so it makes classes very enlightening.
I strongly recommend this program! |

Running the herbal/natural personal care business requires global exposure along with sufficient amount of marketing and sales skills and tools. I found in the EMMS program sufficient flexibility to balance my student and working life, it has given me an opportunity to interact with top colleagues from across the globe and businesses at world class locations with excellent facilities. |

I decided to attend EMMS to assess and improve my skills and to open new pathways in my career evolution. I didn't have the need to change the company I was working for, but I was looking for more motivating positions. However, within two months of EMMS 2010 graduation, I had the opportunity to join another company, assuming more responsibilities within a new sales role. |
EMMS provided me with new found self confidence.
During interviews I had, I stressed the importance of the studies I had just completed, the work done and the M&S knowledge acquired. I am now moving towards new challenges and this is an unbelievable source of satisfaction for which I will be grateful to EMMS and SDA Bocconi for a lifetime!

A great learning experience and a very practical business approach from which I have learnt a lot.
During the distance learning, I always felt involved and proud to be part of a great team.
The sense of community was strong, despite the distance. |
The EMMS also allowed me to apply my marketing knowledge immediately, working for various NGOs as a volunteer in their Marketing and Communication departments.

I chose this program because it fit me perfectly. I’ve had a unique career, and the program itself is quite unusual. I searched for five years for the right way to get a master’s level education in marketing and sales. There are many quality business programs out there. However, I found there aren’t many that focus exclusively on marketing. |
The EMMS program was a great find. It has given me a fresh perspective on my career, and I could complete the program without leaving my job. The EMMS program was exactly what I was looking for.

By analysing how fast customers and markets develop in our global world, it became quite clear to me that market-leading managers and organisations must keep the pace with such developments, in order to be successful over time. That´s why I wanted to upgrade my skills and knowledge in marketing and sales and bring them to the newest/latest standards. |
I found that EMMS offers a unique formula, integrating the knowledge and experience from two leading business schools, while combining one’s working schedule with one’s learning schedule. The EMMS program was a great international experience that substantially broadened my professional horizon.

I would strongly recommend EMMS to a young and smart marketing manager willing to grow professionally and learn, while continuing to work. It offers a unique learning experience, because of the international composition of the class, the excellent teachers from different business schools, the lessons held in Milan, Barcelona and Madrid. |
Thanks to EMMS I was able to strengthen my knowledge of many marketing techniques and tools, having at the same time a "global perspective" and a constant focus on the "whole picture".
Last but not least, EMMS contributed to enhance my career: 2 months before the end of the program I was offered a position of Senior Marketing Manager in the US branch of Class Editori, in New York.
