Applicants who obtained a university degree in Italy must provide a self-declaration of the Degree Certificate and Transcript (form provided by your university). This self-declaration is only for students who graduated from Italian universities.

At the testing site, you can specify that your results be sent directly to SDA Bocconi (TOEFL School Code: 0698, PTE School Code: R7G-6R-23). If you have already taken one of these tests, the original results must be sent directly to the school. Test results prior to January 2021 are no longer valid.
A test result may be waived for mother-tongue English speakers and for students who did their degree in English, or can document significant professional experience in an English-speaking country.
Reference must be from a person who knows you well, and can comment knowledgeably on your professional and/or academic background, providing a detailed evaluation of your qualifications for our EMMS.
The contact details of your referee (name, surname and company email address) will need to be uploaded on the automatic tool of the online application form. The referee will then receive a form to be filled out and submitted to us.
You will be required to have an interview with the program director. In cases where the applicant cannot easily travel to Milan, the interview can take place remotely by phone or over the internet.
The online application from is available exclusively online and must be completed with accurate and precise information regarding your personal and professional experiences and your reasons for attending the program.
