You are required to submit an official transcript or certified copy of your degree certificate (BA Degree or equivalent) from the College or University you attended. This must include grades for individual subjects with the grading scale, the type of degree, the date of graduation, and the dates of enrollment.
If you obtained a university degree in Italy you 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.
The EMMIO is held entirely in English, thus all applicants must be highly proficient in written and spoken English. If English is not your mother tongue, you must submit a result of the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic or CPE tests.
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 Test results prior to July 2023 are no longer valid.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.
To attend the program is necessary to have a minimum of 5 years of professional experience.
The online application form 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. Please, fill it out and submit it through our website and upload all required documents to the “Documents” section of your online application.
You can check the status of your submission through our application portal (MyApplication).
The online application will be available until July 21st, 2025.
Kindly notice the application portal is an independent system, therefore your SDA Bocconi website (www.sdabocconi.it) credentials are not to be used. Please proceed with a new registration.
For further clarifications on individual applications, please contact the Admissions Service.
