Transforming perspectives, fostering impact.
Would you like to broaden the horizons of your professional growth? The Executive MBA is a professional and personal transformative journey for high-potential executives who choose to invest in their future, enhancing abilities and skills without compromising their professional and personal commitments.
Participants can choose between two formats:
Weekend
The Weekend format, available in Milano and Roma, a bilingual option that combines sessions in Italian with selected modules in English, is delivered through weekend sessions, providing flexibility for those managing professional and personal obligations.
Modular
The Modular format in Milano, fully international and conducted entirely in English, is structured around intensive training weeks, ideal for professionals seeking an immersive and global learning experience.
Both formats combine flexibility and excellence, allowing participants to tailor their educational journey while advancing their careers.
An Executive MBA means:
My EMBA in 60 seconds: Giorgio Marchi

“The EMBA at SDA Bocconi enables you to incorporate education into your career path. Thanks to formats flexibility and mixing of face-to-face and distance learning, you will gain new skills and develop managerial tactics you can immediately implement in your daily work.”
"The EMBA is a fascinating journey of professional and personal growth. Combining methodological rigor and continuous innovation research of the SDA Bocconi faculty with the passion and commitment of a community of top-level participants and alumni, the EMBA transforms students so that they're ready for the next stage in their career".
I had always dreamed of pursuing an MBA at a prestigious, globally accredited business school. Last year, I finally decided to explore the educational programs that best aligned with my needs, both in Italy and abroad. My shortlist included SDA Bocconi and two international institutions—one in Europe and another in the United States. I was determined to choose the best option while minimizing sacrifices.
After carefully weighing the pros and cons of each program, I decided to attend the presentation for the EMBA Weekend – Rome at the Rome campus to resolve my remaining doubts. The Weekend Rome format offered me the flexibility to continue working, allowing me to manage tuition costs more comfortably. Additionally, I wouldn’t need to worry about relocating within Italy or abroad or dealing with the expenses and logistics of frequent flights, given that I’m based in Rome. Pursuing an MBA is already a challenging investment; adding further complexity to my professional and personal life would have made it significantly harder to manage.
The prestige of a historic institution like Bocconi University, the well-structured curriculum designed to comprehensively prepare future managers, and the enthusiasm of those who presented the program—particularly Director E. Baglieri—convinced me that the EMBA Weekend Rome at SDA Bocconi was undoubtedly the best choice for me. Furthermore, the positive experiences and testimonials from previous cohorts, shared during the presentation, reinforced my belief that I was making the right decision.
Six months into the program, I can confidently say that this experience is both unique and transformative. Despite the demanding schedule and the significant commitment, I am managing to balance work, study, and personal life, thanks to sacrifices I had anticipated in pursuit of this goal. The human element is proving to be invaluable. The professors’ ability to foster empathy and engagement in the classroom, the exchange of diverse and high-level managerial experiences within the working groups, and the camaraderie and friendships formed among classmates have enriched and completed my journey of personal and professional growth.
In un box di studio dell’EMBA possono nascere idee visionarie. Dagli incontri serali di quattro partecipanti dell’edizione 2017 ha preso forma il progetto mOOve, la pista ciclabile intelligente: un’infrastruttura modulare, flessibile, posizionabile ovunque in modo semplice, veloce, senza scavi e senza creare disagi stradali. È dotata di una tecnologia digitale integrata che le permette di segnalare in anticipo condizioni di traffico e ambientali, eventuali interruzioni (ad esempio veicoli presenti sulla pista), manutenzioni necessarie. E in coerenza con l’idea di sostenibilità ambientale che veicola, è costruita utilizzando pneumatici e materie plastiche derivanti da processi di riciclo.
L’idea è diventata realtà attraverso Revo Srl, la startup costituita dagli stessi alumni EMBA, e ha già vinto il contest IDEA 2019 dell’Ordine degli Ingegneri di Milano e il contest GetIt promosso da Cariplo Factory. Ora si è passati alla fase produttiva con richieste e manifestazioni di interesse da tutto il mondo.
“Certo, idee come queste possono nascere ovunque”, dice Stefano Arvati, uno degli ex ‘compagni di banco’ EMBA e ora socio di Revo, “ma difficilmente possono svilupparsi con la stessa rapidità ed efficacia in un contesto che non dà il supporto concettuale e metodologico dell’EMBA e non permette a persone con provenienze e mentalità così diverse di incontrarsi, di lavorare e di coltivare la loro capacità di innovazione”. Innovazione e diversità di competenze che sono diventate il punto di forza della startup e del progetto.
“L’idea era buona e si sta dimostrando vincente”, aggiunge Stefano, “ma alla luce di questa esperienza mi sento di dire che gran parte di questo successo è dovuta alla forza del team. Serve sempre una buona squadra per far decollare progetti audaci e culturalmente nuovi come mOOve. E l’EMBA di SDA Bocconi questo lo sa e lo trasmette bene”.
