You are required to submit an official transcript or certified copy of your degree certificate (BA Degree or equivalent) from the College or University you attended. This must include grades for individual subjects with the grading scale, the type of degree, the date of graduation, and the dates of enrollment.
If you obtained a university degree in Italy you must provide a self-declaration of the Degree Certificate and Transcript (form provided by your university). This self-declaration is only for students who graduated from Italian universities.
The EMMIO is held entirely in English, thus all applicants must be highly proficient in written and spoken English. If English is not your mother tongue, you may submit a result of the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic or CPE tests (not mandatory).
At the testing site, you can specify that your results be sent directly to SDA Bocconi (TOEFL School Code: 0698, PTE School Code: R7G-6R-23). If you have already taken one of these tests, the original results must be sent directly to the school. Test results prior to January 2016 are no longer valid.
A test result may be waived for mother-tongue English speakers and for students who did their degree in English, or can document significant professional experience in an English-speaking country.
GMAT and English Test certificate are not mandatory.
To attend the program is necessary to have a minimum of 5 years of professional experience.
The application form is available exclusively online and must be completed with accurate and precise information regarding your personal and professional experiences and your reasons for attending the program.
