MIHMEP admission process is rigorous and designed not only to determine whether you are qualified for the MIHMEP program, but also whether the program will meet your expectations and career goals. We select candidates from a wide range of academic, cultural, and professional backgrounds. This diversity of approach, culture, and experience enriches the learning process at both an individual and group level.
You are required to submit a certified copy of your degree certificate. Please note that your education from primary school to completing the bachelor degree must span at least 15 years.
Applicants who obtained a university degree in Italy 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.
2-3 years post-bachelor work experience is an advantage in the admission process. Applications from candidates with limited professional experience but who have a strong interest in international healthcare management will be taken into consideration.
The MIHMEP 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, 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 Test results prior to January 2018 are no longer valid.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 (at least 1 year) in an English-speaking country.
The GMAT (or GRE) is mandatory for all applicants. This is an internationally recognized test in English that evaluates your quantitative, verbal, and analytical skills. Although there is no required minimum score for admission, a high score is beneficial during the admission process. Candidates for the 2020-2021 edition of MIHMEP are requested to upload a test and test results prior to January 2015 are no longer valid.
When the test is taken, the name of the school should be specified, which will allow our Admission Services to receive the results directly. The GMAT identification code for the MIHMEP is 3WJ-L8-72 and for the GRE it’s 3710.
As an alternative to the GMAT/GRE candidates can ask the Admissions Service to take the SDA Test. The SDA Test is organized by SDA Bocconi and assesses quantitative, logical and verbal skills. Enrolment for the test is organized directly through the Admissions Service after submission of the application for admission.
Reference letters must be from people who know you well, can comment knowledgeably about your professional and/or academic background and provide a detailed evaluation of your qualifications for MIHMEP. The SDA Bocconi reference letters tool (available online with the application form) must be used.

Only submitted applications will be considered for the selection process. The Admissions Office will contact you in case any documentation is missing.
Admission Process
Applications are examined on a rolling basis. Those received well in advance of the deadline have a greater chance of being admitted. Therefore, it is in your best interest to submit your application as early as possible.
When we receive your application, we carry out a pre-selection based on the documents you sent. The Admissions Committee lets you know if you are considered suitable to proceed with the selection process.
If so, you will be required to have an interview, which may be held at SDA Bocconi in Milano or remotely (by phone or Skype). This will allow you to show that you have the essential skills, talents, and motivations that are essential to getting the most out of our MIHMEP program.
The final result will be communicated once the application is complete, which means all documents must have been received and tests completed. You will receive a formal letter from Admissions Service (results are never communicated via telephone). The selection process will yield one of the following results:
