Welcome!

Università Bocconi has always been widely acknowl-edged for the quality of the students graduating fromits Master of Science programs; 10 of these 2-yearprograms are offered by the Graduate School, in ad-dition to a range of shorter Specialized Master pro-grams. In the competitive job arena awaiting Mastergraduates, our 2-year MSc programs have proven tobe an effective gateway for international careers. Iwould like to point out a few of the distinctive fea-tures that will make your Master of Science a valuableexperience, both on our campus in Milan and for yourfuture.

Academic QualityThe quality of our programs depends first of all on thequality of our Faculty. Bocconi continuously invests inattracting talented faculty members who contribute toimproving our reputation both in teaching and in re-search, allowing our students to get in touch with themost up-to-date knowledge in each field.

Strong Relationships with Top EmployersThanks to the careful combination of a strong theoreti-cal background and an emphasis on relevant real-worldapplications, our programs and our graduates are high-ly regarded by top international recruiters.

InternationalizationStudents have the chance to study and interact withclassmates from many different countries. We also of-fer a large number of opportunities for one-semesterexchange programs or for Double Degrees with top in-stitutions within and outside Europe. These opportu-nities to acquire greater international exposure form animportant advantage of a 2-year program with respectto the standard 1-year format.

Tailor-Made Specialization PathsOur programs will provide you with the chance to de-velop solid knowledge in all the core topics during yourfirst year, while choosing from among a wide list ofelective courses during the second year. This will giveyou a lot of flexibility to design a study plan with a spe-cific focus that is aligned with your interests, and todelve more deeply into it.

A Top Alumni Network with High-Quality PeersRelationships with peers, faculty members and othercontacts represent crucial added value to your universi-ty experience. Our Alumni Association, which is wellestablished and steadily growing across scores of coun-tries, will be the natural way to keep in touch with peersand with the University throughout your future career.

Bocconi’s tie-ups with the top businessschools in India and abroad assured me of its reputation. I was amazed at how

international my class was. Working alongside suchsmart people from diverse backgrounds really helpedme in understanding different perspectives as well ascultural norms, a skill which came handy once I startedmy full-time job, which required me to work with people from across the world. I would also credit my job to the CEMS opportunity: the timespent at LSE helped me in expanding my network and in making new friends in London.

Marketing Management

The best response I could hope for is when students tell me that the information learned during our graduate program has made them feel

up to date, up to speed, and generally up to the task, not just during the first steps in their new jobs, but also later,e.g. during interactions with other graduates from the best business schools around the world. In fact, a very importantpart of the program is taking part in international competitions and business games, held mainly by multinational companies. Our students are regularlyprompted to apply the knowledge they acquire in class to real-world challenges: defining marketing strategies,launching new products, creating a new brand. They work as a team on concrete issues and practice what they learned. And they often win,I’m proud to say!

Finance

An attractive and competitive market such as that of the financial sector requires outstandingabilities, talent and skills to be successful.

A potential applicant to a MSc in Finance should not be deterred by the challenges posed by an intense and thereforedemanding and well-designed program, but should ratheravoid curricula that may provide him or her with insufficienttools to be successful on the job market. We think the flexibility in mastering multiple areas combined with technical skills in one field is the competitiveadvantage that our program can offer when comparedto one-year specialized master programs abroad.

Massimo Guidolin Program Director

Upon completion of my Bachelor degree, I decided to enroll to the Master of Sciencein Finance at Bocconi. This choice was

firstly driven by the program’s content, which blendsstrong theoretical teachings with very practical considerations. For instance, many professionals participate actively in the curriculum, by giving lectures on a regular basis. The curricular internship constitutes a key aspect of the program. I joined The BCG over the summer at the end of my first year which then led to an offer, enabling me to come back on a full-time basis one year later.
