Selection process is based on an overall analysis of various factors. Skills, talents and formal pre-requisites.
Application form
The application is available exclusively on-line, and must be completed in English.
The application includes several short-answer questions which will allow us to understand more about your personal and professional experiences and your reasons for wanting to attend the MCF program.
Degree certificate, transcript and detailed CV
You are required to submit an original/official or certified original transcript of grades (in English or Italian) from the college or university attended. This must include grades for individual subjects with the grading scale, the type of degree, the date of graduation and the dates of enrolment.
A detailed CV or resume must accompany your application.
Proficiency in English
All applicants must be highly proficient in written and spoken English. If English is not your mother tongue, you must take the TOEFL or IELTS tests.
Candidates for the 2012/13 edition of the MCF must take the test by April 2012. At the test site, you will need to specify that you want your results sent directly to SDA Bocconi by indicating our School Code (0698). If you have already taken the test, the original results must be sent directly to the school. Any test results from before January 2007 are no longer valid.
GMAT
This is mandatory for all candidates. GMAT is an internationally recognized test in English that evaluates your quantitative, verbal, and analytical skills.
When the test is taken, the name of the School should be specified allowing our Admissions Service to receive the results directly. The identification code for our MCF program is 3WJ-L8-22. GMAT results prior to January 2007 are no longer valid.
Two letters of reference
These letters must be from people who know you well enough professionally and/or academically to supply an exhaustive evaluation of your professional and/or academic performance and provide a detailed evaluation of your qualifications for an MCF. The SDA Bocconi reference form (available online with the application form) must be used.
Application from sponsor companies
