Course Overview
The SDA Bocconi MBA is a one-year, full-time program based in Milan, aimed at mid-career professionals with an average of 6 years of work experience. Sri Lankan applicants who have spent a few years in banking, consulting or family business use it as a fast track into European management roles without leaving their careers for two years.
The curriculum runs from September through August and covers core management, finance and strategy, then opens up into electives, an in-company project and an international exchange option with partner schools in Asia, Europe and the Americas. Milan placement means easy access to luxury, finance, fashion and energy recruiters.
