    SDA Bocconi Executive MBA (EMBA)


    Would you like to broaden the horizons of your professional growth? The Executive MBA is a professional and personal transformative journey for high-potential executives who choose to invest in their future, enhancing abilities and skills without compromising their professional and personal commitments.

    Participants can choose between two formats:

    The Weekend format, available in Milano and Roma, a bilingual option that combines sessions in Italian with selected modules in English, is delivered through weekend sessions, providing flexibility for those managing professional and personal obligations.

    The Modular format in Milano, fully international and conducted entirely in English, is structured around intensive training weeks, ideal for professionals seeking an immersive and global learning experience.

    Both formats combine flexibility and excellence, allowing participants to tailor their educational journey while advancing their careers. An Executive MBA means:
    • A unique transformational process, continuously adapted to your specific needs and your agenda
    • Differentiated formats and learning processes: EMBA Weekend, bilingual (Italian/English), available in Milan and Rome, and EMBA Modular, fully international (entirely in English)
    • More opportunities for integration between classes: a single professional network, broader than ever
    • SDA Bocconi, the first Italian business school, with the highest international rankings

    • For those seeking to balance an investment in their skills and competencies with professional commitments, choosing the format and learning experience that suits them best.
    • For individuals looking to gain knowledge that can be immediately applied in a professional context, fostering a productive synergy between study and work.
    • For those aspiring to build an active network with fellow participants, faculty, and alumni, to enhance both themselves and the contributions they make to society.
