The MAMA experience: learn, connect, transform
A world of perspectives: the value of diversity
Diversity at SDA Bocconi is more than a value—it’s the driving force behind a transformative learning experience. Our classrooms bring together bright minds from across the globe, each contributing their unique perspectives, backgrounds, and expertise. This exchange fosters innovation, broadens horizons, and prepares our participants to navigate the complexities of a global business environment.
As part of this commitment, our Class profile reflects an extraordinary mix of nationalities, industries, and professional experiences, ensuring that every discussion is enriched by a variety of viewpoints. But we don’t stop there.
International Student Care is our way of ensuring that every participant, no matter where they’re from, feels at home at SDA Bocconi. Moving to a new country is exciting, but we know it comes with challenges. That’s why Francesca Roveda is here to support you every step of the way, from visas and permits to stay, to cultural integration and daily life tips.
Beyond this, our Program Management team plays a fundamental role in ensuring that every student is guided and supported throughout their on-campus journey. Acting as dedicated points of reference, our Program Managers provide personalized assistance, fostering an environment where students feel heard, valued, and cared for. We’re not just shaping your education—we’re shaping an experience that feels like home.

Inside-out learning: an experience without borders
At SDA Bocconi, learning extends far beyond the classroom. We believe that the most impactful experiences happen when knowledge is applied, connections are made, and perspectives are broadened. That’s why our extracurricular activities are designed to bring the business world to life and help you build lasting relationships along the way.
The architecture of our campus also reflects this philosophy. Designed with transparency, accessibility, and openness in mind, our buildings feature vast glass facades, open spaces, and seamless indoor-outdoor integration. This unique structure symbolizes our commitment to breaking down barriers, creating a continuous exchange of ideas and knowledge that extends far beyond the classroom.
MAMA: a bouquet of experiences
Every experience and challenge is an opportunity to refine your skills, expand your perspective, and step outside your comfort zone, deepening your understanding of diverse business landscapes. Here, you don’t just learn—you live the experience.
MAMA benefits from the partnership and collaboration of different kinds of arts and cultural institutions, which provide participants with unique experiences. The quantity and variety of initiatives organized thanks to this valuable network is a great wealth of this training program.
