My MBA is...

❝ My MBA is intense:the rhythms are unbelievableand as long as you don't liveit you cannot realize howintense it is.

It's enriching and it’s global: you learn a lot and you meet peoplefrom all around the world. It’s tough:due to my background I had noexperience in most of the subjects.However, professors are reallycompetent and helpful, so I couldovercome these difficulties. It is as if we are a big family wherenobody is left behind and one is helpful to the other.I think that in a way we discovered again the real meaning of friendship, honesty, support.

Tanya BuhnikMBA 2009 | Nationality: Italian

❝ My MBA is very intense, quite challenging andcolourful. Intense because the classwork has been a lot. Challenging in terms

of time management: it’s very difficult to balance the classwork with extracurricular activities. And I’d say it’s colourful because the experience covers the entire range of the spectrum of the rainbowin terms of colours...

Alexander RoccaMBA 2009 | Nationality: U.S.

❝ My MBA is a full andintense life experience: you and different subjects tostudy; you and new andinnovative teaching methods;

you and the preparation for a newprofessional challenge. In reaching all these targets you canalways count on a network of excellentprofessors and brilliant students.Everyday you study, share and exchangeideas and opinions with people of thehighest quality both in a personal and a professional point of view. After one year, I feel that I have grown alot and thanks to this new self-awarenessI feel ready to face all the challengesrequired in the global professional world.

managerial education. SDA Bocconi proved to be a fertileground for establishing strong personaland professional connections. This MBA from a top business schooloffers valuable business opportunitiesin Europe, even in a turbulent economic environment.

Amir Jacobi MBA 2009 | Nationality: Israeli

The greatest change in myself? I have become more positive and self-confident in my ability to cope with all kinds of new projects, in a word: more risk-taking.

Its network is useful to its members and to the School, providing companies and institutions with the necessary tools to be able to create true business value.
