12th edition 2021-2022
If you don’t have a business background, your program starts early, with pre-courses on the basics of data analysis for business and fundamentals of accounting.
The MFB starts with an introduction to the program, which provides you with team building, cultural diversity, and group dynamics through a series of interactive workshops. In addition, you’ll get acquainted with the services provided by the school (i.e. Career Services, student clubs, Italian course, Campus tour, etc.).
This intensive stage provides you with the fundamental knowledge and skills to work as a manager. In this intense term you will tackle management issues that apply more directly to the F&B industries.
In this phase of the program you will get in touch with the variety and complexity of the food & beverage world, getting to know the complexity of different realities:
The final part of the Master is dedicated to the concrete application of the acquired skills, first with field projects, carried out with F&B partner companies on real needs and challenges, then with other trial moments such as simulation, business game and study tour.
After fourteen intense months, the MFB experience will clou with the graduation ceremony, an unforgettable way to celebrate an unforgettable learning experience.
The MFB requires a full-time commitment. Class sessions, case study discussions, and assignments in small teams in and out of class are integrated with simulations, role-playing exercises, and business games. You will also have presentations, Q&A sessions, and business case sessions with experienced faculty members, recognized professional faculty, and qualified business guest speakers. Attendance 5 days a week is mandatory, typically Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.
