Admission Process

The Application Deadline is on 18 October 2024.

The EMiLUX provides a rigorous selection process based on specific criteria defined by SDA Bocconi necessary to guarantee participants and companies a high quality educational experience. The selection process aims to assess both your academic and professional experience, and your individual motivations and abilities. However, the selection should not only determine if you are suitable for the EMiLUX, but also if the program will meet your expectations and your career goal.

We Look for Highly Motivated Candidates

We encourage you to initiate the process by submitting your application for admission to Admissions Service, then send in the required documents as soon as possible.

As soon as the selection process is completed you will receive a formal letter from Admissions Service, which will inform you of the admission decision. The results are never communicated by telephone.

The selection process will yield one of the following results:

  • Admission: If you are accepted, alongside the official admission notice you will receive a participation contract.
    If all available places are occupied, the school may decide to put you on a waiting list or offer you admission for the following year.
    Admission to the program is valid for the year the application is submitted. However, you can request deferment for the following year, but approval of deferment is on a case-by-case decision by the Admissions Committee.
  • Non-Admission: Admission to the program is highly selective. The selection process assesses the profile of the individual candidate while taking into account the composition of the MBA class, which must be consistent with the quality and diversity the school requires. While we are aware of the deep commitment all candidates must make to go through the selection process, the school does not provide further clarifications to non-admitted candidates.
