Executive MBA Modular
Transforming perspectives, fostering impact.
SDA Bocconi’s Executive MBA is more than a Master program—it is a pivotal step in personal and professional transformation. Guided by the claim "Transforming perspectives, fostering Impact," the program empowers executives to redefine their outlook, embrace change and create lasting impact within their organizations and beyond.
Designed for ambitious professionals, the master equips students with leadership and management skills, while enhancing their ability to adapt, prioritize and strategize in today’s dynamic business environment.
Held in Milan and delivered entirely in English, the Modular format is structured around alternating intensive training weeks and weekend modules, generally held once a month. It offers a flexible yet impactful learning path, particularly suited to international and Europe-based professionals who wish to step away from daily responsibilities and fully engage in a high-level academic experience with a global perspective.
