Admissions Requirements
A very rigorous selection process, conducted by dedicated professionals and consultants.
When SDA Bocconi receives an application for admission, it carries out a pre-selection process based on the initial documents sent. The Admissions Committee then lets the candidates know if they are considered suitable to proceed with the selection process. The final assessment of each application will take place once the candidate has completed all required tests and submitted all required documents. Candidates admitted into the Program must confirm their participation based on deadlines set by the Admissions Service. SDA Bocconi will inform each candidate of the result of their application in writing.
Admissions pre-requisites
To be considered for admission, candidates must fulfill the following minimum requirements:
- Degree in any discipline
- Minimum of 5-6 years professional experience
- Proficiency in English
- Strong motivation
- IT competency and laptop with Internet connection
- Good leadership skills and interpersonal skills.
Application form
The application form is available exclusively online.
The application form must be completed with accurate and precise information regarding your personal and professional experiences, your reasons for desiring to attend the Program.
The application form must be completed with:
A Degree Certificate and a Detailed Curriculum Vitae

GMAT
The last date an applicant can take the GMAT and still be considered for the 2010/2011 Global Executive MBA is August 2010 according to the first deadline, and November 2010 according to the second deadline.

SDA Test
As an exception candidates can ask the Admissions Service the authorization to take the SDA Test as an alternative to the GMAT. This test, offered in English, is run 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.
Proficiency in English
All applicants must be highly proficient in written and spoken English. If English is not your mother tongue, you must take the TOEFL, IELTS or PTE Academic tests. Candidates for the 2011/2012 edition of the Program must take the test by August 2010 according to the first deadline, and November 2010 according to the second deadline. At the test site, you will need to specify that you want your results sent directly to SDA Bocconi (for TOEFL by indicating our School Code 0698, for PTE by indicating our School Code R7G-6R-23). If you have already taken the test, the original results must be sent directly to the School. Any test results from before January 2005 are no longer valid. A test result may be waived for mother-tongue English speakers and for students who took their degree in English or can document significant professional experience in an English-speaking country.
Interview
Candidates will be required to have an interview with a member of the SDA Bocconi Admissions Committee. In special cases the interview may take place remotely (by telephone or with webcam).
