Life in Milano is a perfect mix of academic activities and networking events. My schoolmates today are a strong international network and it is great to know that, when I need specialized advice, I always find a friend ready to support in almost every field and industry. When I decided to do an MBA, I was certain it would change my career, aspirations and professional mindset. The only nuance I did not get at that time, but I do visibly appreciate six years later, is the extent it positively and profoundly changed my whole approach to new ventures and my life. VALERIA PASCUCCI | MBA 2009 | Italian EU Finance Manager - Strategic Projects at Amazon, Milano, Italy TOMMASO A. ASCARELLI | MBA 2006 | Italian Director, AlixPartners, Italy Taking the SDA Bocconi MBA is like traveling around the world, with the benefit of increasing your market value at the same time. MARCO BOEHLER | MBA 2011 | German/Italian General Manager Football CEE, Nike, Germany Ten years after completing my MBA, I can see in a very clear way the added-value of my MBA experience at SDA Bocconi. A unique and intense experience, a very enriching path. In other words, a true international experience in the most beautiful country in the world!

According to the latest Forbes ranking of return on investment (ROI, the average time graduates need to earn back tuition fees), the SDA Bocconi MBA is 4th among non-US programs in the world, while the Good-Value MBA’s ranking 2014 by The Economist places the School 4th globally. Furthermore, the SDA Bocconi MBA 1-year format will maximize your investment by decreasing your time away from work while requiring you to manage a busy schedule in an intense program structure. My MBA was a life-changing experience. Thanks to it I had the opportunity to better express my potential and to grow fast, reaching all the goals I set for my professional life. After 5 years working in a multinational company, I'm now considering to become an entrepreneur and I feel that's possible also thanks to my MBA. From Forbes ROI ranking 2015 SARA MARTELLO | MBA 2009 | Italian Market Access Director, Abbott Diabetes Care Italy, Abbott For me, obtaining my MBA from SDA Bocconi was the best way to be exposed to the European business markets. It was by far the best career decision I’ve made!

I can only say thanks to the huge amount of people who taught me so much, not only academically, but also personally. From the friends of the MBA and other masters to the faculty and staff of the school. PABLO RODRÍGUEZ VERDEGUER MBA 2016 | Spanish I enjoy immensely interacting with the MBA students at SDA Bocconi School of Management by teaching a course on emerging economy growth and the global economy.

We prepare future leaders to be ambidextrous, capable of blending an in-depth understanding of today's situation with a coherent vision for tomorrow. The SDA Bocconi MBA program always emphasized customer engagement. This is the ideal program for any manager aiming at building a strong background and leveraging it into a challenging omnichannel future. EMANUELA PRANDELLI | SDA Bocconi MBA Professor of Marketing, LVMH Associate Professor in Fashion and Luxury Management, Università Bocconi MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 19/07/16 10:49 Pagina 8 8 | Full-Time MBA 4 RELATIONAL COCOON With just about 100 MBA students, the program demands a heavy investment in relationships and a commitment to cooperation and team-oriented work. This environment results in bonds built with classmates, faculty and alumni that will last a lifetime. With just over 100 students you get the personal attention that you need to succeed. From your professors to the Career Service staff, someone is always there to listen to your concerns and help you advance your skills and career. What we experience in the class feels very private, very intimate. It feels like a tailor-made education. IVAYLA TZVETKOVA | MBA 2013 Canadian/Bulgarian LEON SCOTT CALLENDER | MBA 2012 | U.S. Director, La Marzocco Home, Seattle, USA Area Manager, Expedia Inc., Milano, Italy MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 19/07/16 10:49 Pagina 9 Full-Time MBA | 9 5 INTERNATIONAL CLASS The spectrum of nationality, age, gender, professional experience and academic background of our MBA class brings energy and fruitful exchange that few MBA programs can offer. 75% of SDA Bocconi students are not from Italy, and come from about 35 different countries, a real advantage for modern MBAs, who will be working in multinational settings and must learn to work effectively with a variety of cultures. SDA Bocconi’s diverse student population, coupled with its equally varied choice of courses, made it my top choice for pursuing an MBA education. The wealth of experiences of students that SDA Bocconi is known for attracting is having a major impact on my personal development. Similarly, I am actively sharing my hard-earned lessons with them. I believe that by exchanging these types of experiences with classmates from various backgrounds, we are collectively contributing to SDA Bocconi’s dynamic learning environment.

Milano will be your campus - a city at the center of the European industrialized belt and of Italian business and finance. The hub of fashion, creativity and design, with a great potential for contacts and careers. Milano's creative atmosphere, combined with the pragmatic academic legacy of SDA Bocconi, provide a unique blend in molding tomorrow's leaders. When I chose to study at SDA Bocconi, I knew that living in Italy would give me an international experience and a chance to meet people from all over the world. Practically, Milano is in the middle of Europe and is one of few cities that have three airports with very convenient access to the city. This makes the commuting between Milano, the rest of Europe and many countries overseas easy and fast and covers a variety of passenger needs.

You will widen your interests and catch the opportunity to immerse into Italy’s unparalleled wealth of cultural heritage. You will open your horizons and absorb the educational power of the arts. Opera and music, iconic food, exquisite wines, countless works of art are some famous elements of Italian culture, which you can experience to add value to your growth. The SDA Bocconi MBA was my entrance into fascinating Italian culture, through which I found my dreams, my aspirations and my real self. LILI QIN | MBA 2011 | Chinese Assistant General Manager/Investment Project Manager CHINA CITIC Med & Pharma Investment, China I chose the SDA Bocconi Full-Time MBA because I really wanted to study in Italy: I love the culture, I love the food, and the fashion, so when I visited Milan, it just felt right.

XIAOFEI LI | MBA 2015 | Chinese Our Incubator - SpeedMIup offers the opportunity to change entrepreneurial ideas into actual businesses, and this is what many MBAs already ended up doing, successfully. ALBERTO GRANDO SDA Bocconi MBA Professor of Operations and Technology Management, Vice Rector for Development, Università Bocconi What you breathe in an MBA class is something unique. An effervescent mix of cutting edge knowledge in economics, management and finance, the bold sense of community that links the faculty with students and knowing that everyone is committed to excellence. The MBA is a real place where ambitious leaders must reside. STEFANO GATTI | MBA Director, SDA Bocconi MBA Professor of Financial Markets and Institutions . MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 19/07/16 10:50 Pagina 13 Full-Time MBA | 13 The structure of the program is demanding and requires participants to be fully committed, but in turn provides the necessary edge to learn and develop the right skills, tools and command over processes. Active methodologies are used throughout the program.

These courses include Introduction to Financial Accounting, Quantitative Methods, Macroeconomics, Microeconomics (see page 47 for detailed costs). Pre-courses are not compulsory for all students, but may be required for those without a background in economics and management. The MBA pre-courses are delivered either through distance learning platforms (students study on their own, using materials provided by the School) or by face-to-face classes at SDA Bocconi. ITALIAN LANGUAGE You do not need to know Italian to attend our MBA, but you probably do not want to miss such a great opportunity to improve your language skills. Pre-Course Among the pre-courses, you may take the optional intensive Italian for Foreigners course in September. During the Program From October to June we offer a free Italian course for students to improve their language skills.

MICHELLE HARRIS | MBA 2016 | Canadian MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 19/07/16 10:50 Pagina 19 Full-Time MBA | 19 OUR MBA PROGRAM CORNERSTONES CORE COURSES AND SEMINARS Our MBA program is organized around three cornerstones, which represent the competence requirements of a global manager. PLANNING & INNOVATING CONTROLLING & INVESTING LEADING PEOPLE & PROCESSES This sequence is focused on a detailed understanding of the macroeconomic and microeconomic environment in order to plan the core strategic and marketing actions that drive value creation for stakeholders. Specific attention is given to the ability to change and evolve towards venues of value creation that are sustainable and hard to imitate. Measuring the value produced by an organization is the starting point to understand the opportunities it faces and the investments it can sustain. Starting from a thorough understanding of financial markets and financial tools this second sequence provides a 360 degree coverage of management accounting, corporate finance and financial institutions. Core competences of an organization lie in smart people and in effective and efficient organizational processes. This sequence aims to understand how to design the organization, fuel it with the energy of smart and committed people and orchestrate a system of incentives that aim at both exploiting the existing com petences and exploring new scenarios.

This year, we visited luxury boutiques like Bottega Veneta, art auction house Il Ponte, and one of Milan's hidden historical masterpieces of architecture: Villa Necchi-Campiglio. We partnered with the DiVino Club on a wine-tasting trip to Bordeaux, and brought five industry speakers on-campus to discuss luxury marketing, talent acquisition, PR, consumer insights, and private equity. We also launched our first-ever business skills competition with emerging Italian jewelry designer Bea Bongiasca. Five teams participated to strategize the next steps of expansion for the fledgling line, which is already carried in well-known stores like 10 Corso Como in Milan and Colette in Paris. We hope to have set the groundwork for an even better calendar of events next year, the club's 5th birthday!

Each year, around twenty electives are offered during the Concentrations, allowing students to gain in-depth skills in topics of major relevance in today’s business world. The Electives are grouped into 4 Concentrations running in parallel in groups of 2. 99 percent of what you learn in your Concentration in Finance is part of any M&A deal out there: rationale, language, tools... As for the remaining 1 percent... You were probably out of class! MAURIZIO DALLOCCHIO | SDA Bocconi MBA Professor of Accounting, Control, Corporate and Real Estate Finance The days of the Cowboy Entrepreneurs are gone, and so are those of the Nerd Entrepreneurs.

The International Exchange Program offers selected candidates the opportunity to spend the last months of the program at another top business school. Students who apply for an International Exchange Program must demonstrate precise interests and solid motivations for going abroad by providing a clear indication of why the experience is necessary for their personal growth and career advancement. The School evaluates the reasons candidates put forward, and gives priority to those who most clearly demonstrate that they can benefit from the exchange. Owing to the varying schedules of partner Universities, outgoing students may be involved in the Exchange Program starting from September/October and ending in November/December. AN INCOMING MBA EXCHANGE STUDENT BLOGS ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE IN MILANO. Looking back on what I had learned both in the classroom and on my travels, I couldn’t help but feel an immense feeling of both gratitude and fulfillment... During my time away from home, I traveled over 25,000 miles on 14 flights and countless trains, visiting 15 cities in 9 countries. While in Milan, I took 10 classes across 2 modules, completing 15 credits by spending over 150 hours in the classroom, going on 5 company visits and giving 8 group presentations. Not only do I have memories that will last a lifetime, I also completed my MBA and am now poised to put together all the pieces of the next chapter of my life in New York. But perhaps the most important thing I learned on my trip may just simply be… Milano, ti amo.

ISABELLA PINUCCI | Career Service Coordinator SDA Bocconi School of Management Shaping your career after the MBA is a very personal journey, you need to know your strengths, your weaknesses and your dreams very well. Like in any other journey, a good buddy makes the difference. The Career Service is your companion: they will help you better know yourself and give you the opportunities you were really looking for, so that you’ll be best prepared to take them. How much could an MBA from SDA Bocconi really help me conduct a career switch? As changing career was my main objective, this was a doubt of mine prior to starting what would be the best decision of my life. Not only did SDA build a solid foundation of practical experiences and leadership skills, but it also empowered and gave me the confidence to chase my dreams. I walked into SDA as an analyst in financial services and walked out with a new horizon in marketing at a leading beauty company.

The Summer Internship campaign is where you start interacting with a network of international employers who are recruiting MBA students for eight to twelve weeks internship projects between June and August. How you prepare for this campaign is crucial, as the summer internship is not only an opportunity to apply to real life what you have learned in the classroom, but for many of you might well be the first step in the right direction of a career change. The campaign starts as early as November with tough selection processes, an invaluable bootcamp to develop the right skills for your permanent job search. Chances are this is the first time you are encountering such high profile, demanding recruiters and the Career Service team will make sure you go to the appointment in top shape, prepping you with a range of activities. CAREER COUNSELING Targeted, pragmatic one-on-one advice and interview practice by Career Service team members – each one an expert in different industry sectors – to help you with your professional goals and your day-to-day quest for your career change. CAREER SEMINARS & WORKSHOPS Envision your career plan, engage in challenging discussions with experts in different industries, test your job interviewing, networking or salary negotiation skills, learn to crack those business cases. The seminars & workshop program varies according to each class profile and market trends, but always includes the fundamentals of job market dynamics and a thorough preparation for the most challenging selection processes. COACHING A tailored coaching program with top SDA Bocconi coaches which help you enhance your self awareness, recognize your strengths and maximize your personal growth during your whole MBA experience. MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 20/07/16 17:44 Pagina 34 34 | Full-Time MBA MEET THE EMPLOYERS All year round, Career Service invites employers and alumni to post job opportunities on our Career Portal or to come on campus to meet MBA students, interview them and recruit them for summer internships or permanent positions. Attending company presentations and networking events and making yourself visible helps you start creating a network of contacts you will be able to build on for years to come. Visiting employers at their sites is even more exciting: interest-based groups of students may be invited to and help organize Career treks and Company visits in Italy and abroad. International Business Challenges sponsored by global companies in the healthcare, consumer goods, consulting or venture capital sectors encourage the most competitive candidates of top business schools to engage in a fair but tough competition over a business case. Winning teams get great visibility and often gain a fast track to a summer internship engagement and more. Even if some employers are not able to come on campus, it does not mean they are not interested in you: Career Service coordinates applications to online job-postings on the School’s platform and helps recruiters to select candidates for interviews directly from the CV Database. Career Service also encourages entrepreneurship and partners with students who seek employment on their own, providing advice and facilitating contacts. MBA_FT_2017.qxp_Layout 1 19/07/16 10:50 Pagina 35 Full-Time MBA | 35 GAIN HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE WITH SUMMER PROJECTS From eight to twelve weeks between mid-May and August you can apply to real life what you have learned in the classroom, tackling challenging, real business problems in one of the following activities: INDIVIDUAL SUMMER INTERNSHIPS WITHIN A COMPANY ENTREPRENEURIAL PROJECTS You attended the Career Service workshops, went through a number of selection processes and scored an internship with a great employer: well done!
