The MIHMEP admission process is rigorous and is designed not only to determine your eligibility for the program, but also to ensure that the program aligns with your expectations and career goals. We select candidates from a diverse range of academic, cultural, and professional backgrounds. This diversity in approaches, cultures, and experiences enriches the learning process at both the individual and group levels.
You are required to submit a certified copy of your degree certificate. Please note that your educational history, from primary school through the completion of your bachelor's degree, must cover a minimum duration of 15 years.
Applicants who have earned a university degree in Italy must provide a self-declaration of the Degree Certificate and Transcript, using the form provided by their university. This self-declaration is exclusively for students who have graduated from Italian universities.
Having 2-3 years of post-bachelor work experience is advantageous in the admission process. However, applications from candidates with limited professional experience who demonstrate a strong interest in international healthcare management will also be considered.
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, 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 Test results prior to January 2023 are no longer valid.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 (at least 1 year) in an English-speaking country.
The GMAT or the GRE are mandatory for all applicants. They are internationally recognized tests in English, which 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for the 2025-2026 edition of MIHMEP are requested to upload a test and test results prior to January 2020 are no longer valid.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 online 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.
References must be from people who know you well, and can comment knowledgeably on your professional and/or academic background, providing a detailed evaluation of your qualifications for the MIHMEP.
The contact details of your referees (name, surname and company email address) will need to be uploaded on the automatic tool of the online application form. The referees will then receive a form to be filled out and submitted to us.
The application must also be accompanied by:
Fill out and submit the online application within June 18th, 2025 through our website and upload all required documents to the specific section of your application.
Official/original or certified degree certificate/transcript should be uploaded through MyApplication portal and then provided to the Admissions office.Original documents can also be sent directly by the candidate’s University to admissions.mihmep@sdabocconi.it

Only submitted applications will be considered for the selection process.
The Admissions Office will contact you in case any documentation is missing.
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 (via Teams). 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:
