In our Full Time MBA learning extends far beyond the classroom. It unfolds across cities, industries, and cultures, through experiences designed to challenge perspectives and unlock new ways of thinking.

SDA Bocconi’s MBA Study Tours are a key part of this journey: immersive, hands-on experiences that allow students to explore global business ecosystems while deepening their personal and professional ambitions. Integrated into the program’s customizable path, these tours reflect a broader philosophy, learning through direct engagement with the real world.

From Amsterdam to London, and across Italy’s luxury districts, each destination becomes a living lab.

In Amsterdam, students dive into innovation, entrepreneurship and marketing by visiting global companies and cutting-edge organizations, from tech leaders like Microsoft, Nike and Philips to pioneers such as The Ocean Cleanup and innovation hubs like PortXL. The focus is on understanding how AI and digital transformation, customer-centric strategies, and entrepreneurial ecosystems are shaping the future of business.

In London, the spotlight shifts to finance. Students engage with leading institutions across private equity, investment banking, and asset management, gaining first-hand exposure to the dynamics of global financial markets and connecting with professionals from firms such as BlackRock, Jefferies and Bain Capital.

Meanwhile, the Luxury Business Management study tour offers a different perspective, an immersion into the excellence of Italian craftsmanship and global luxury brands. From Rome to Florence and La Spezia, students meet industry leaders, visit iconic companies, and experience the strategic and operational complexity behind one of Italy’s most distinctive sectors.

Across all destinations, one element remains constant: direct exposure. Company visits, networking moments, Alumni connections, and informal exchanges turn each experience into something deeply personal. Students engage, question, and shape their own understanding of where they want to go next.
The true value of these study tours goes beyond the agenda.
They open horizons.

Students explore industries aligned with their interests, experience different business cultures, and build connections that often extend far beyond the program itself.
In a world where leadership requires versatility and global awareness, these experiences become transformative moments, helping students learn about the world and define their place within it.
