I chose a specialized master program to become the best sales professional I could possibly be. Adding relevant skills, competences and experiences is key for me to stay on top of competition. Small classes and the focus on specific topics made all the difference for me.
EMMS combines cutting-edge academic research with case studies and real-world best-practices from leading companies in Europe. It has been a great learning experience working in virtual setups, on projects, with professionals from different industries, across time zones and geographies. There is simply no better way to practice modern work.
After a few years in digital marketing, I decided I needed a deep dive into marketing fundamentals. I did some searching and found that EMMS met many of my expectations. Walking into that classroom in Bocconi on our first day, I was met by a pool of diverse and now-familiar faces. We thought we were learning how to be better marketers and salespeople; but, throughout the pandemic, we learned how to be better humans.
EMMS is a great taught program but what sets it apart are the people you meet. I would never have had the opportunity to connect with so many brilliant minds – professors, peers, and guest speakers – had I not pursued EMMS. What was supposed to be a 13-month journey became 16 months, which gave us more time to learn from each other and grow as a community. The program directors did an excellent job managing the changing circumstances and I believe that is one of the best parts of the experience – learning resilience by witnessing it and living through it.
Some master programs have scholarships or tuition weavers. They can be offered by the School, by companies or institutions and can cover tuition fees both fully and partially. Requisites vary according to the sponsors.

In any case, if you are a native English speaker or you obtained a High School Diploma in English or you hold a degree from a University where courses are taught in English, you won't have to take the TOEFL test.
The School's TOEFL code is 0698.
The test is used and admitted all over the world, and consists of four parts: listening, reading, writing, and speaking.
