Admissions

All the Requirements to join MIHMEP

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.

The application deadline is 21 June 2022. We invite you to apply on time.

What We Need from You

Degree Certificate

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.

Work Experience

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.

Proficiency in English

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 Test results prior to January 2020 are no longer valid.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.

GMAT/GRE or SDA Test

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for the 2022-2023 edition of MIHMEP are requested to upload a test and test results prior to January 2017 are no longer valid.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.

Two References

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 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:

Detailed curriculum vitae
Photo
Copy of your passport or ID
Payment of EUR 120 admissions fee

How to Apply

Fill out and submit the online application through our website by June 21st, 2022 and upload all required documents to the specific section of your application.

The Application review starts in October 2021.

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 (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:

Admission: If you are accepted, alongside the official admission notice you will receive a participation contract.
If all available places are occupied, the school may decide to put you on a waiting list or offer you admission for the following year.
Admission to the program is valid for the year the application is submitted. However, you can request deferment to the following year, but approval of deferment is on a case-by-case decision by the Admissions Committee.

Non-Admission: Admission to the program is highly selective. The selection process assesses the profile of the individual candidate while taking into account the composition of the MIHMEP class, which must be consistent with the quality and diversity the school requires. While we are aware of the deep commitment all candidates must make to go through the selection process, the school does not provide further clarifications to non-admitted candidates.
