Inspired by Italy’s cultural heritage, SDA Bocconi School of Management shows its expertise in three of the highlights of Italian Excellence, namely the arts, fashion and design and food and beverage. |
“My commitment is to build on the trusted heritage of the MAFED and maintaining its leadership position at international levels, so that it can make a real difference for your next job.
My promise is to make your experience through this journey unforgettable, not only because of the excellent program we are designing for you, but also thanks to the unique contributions of our impressive partner companies, and an alumni network that is going to represent a major asset for the rest of your personal and professional life.”
“Young generations of customers today seek fashion with a purpose, the integration of craftsmanship and technology allows tradition and innovation to merge into a single paradigm, while traditionally product-driven companies are becoming more experience-focused.
Although the fashion and design business landscape rapidly evolves, one thing stays still: companies that want to make their business competitive are constantly looking for competent talents. I pledge to offer you a full-time master’s program that combines creativity with a strong and rigorous managerial approach, making the MAFED experience an unforgettable life-changing journey.”
"MAFED is not just an educational journey, but it is also an extraordinary, enriching and emotional experience in the future of fashion, customer experience and design management.
I am excited to walk with the students towards a life-changing learning opportunity in highly creative industries, bringing my authentic passion for an incredibly fast-growing sector where it becomes increasingly relevant to acquire solid managerial skills and an entrepreneurial mindset."
After graduating in Business Economics and Management at Bocconi University, destiny decided to bring me back to what had been my second home for three years, and on 25 February I proudly graduated cum laude from MAFED. “Students for a while, Alumni forever”. Only six words that perfect embody the concept of a choice that will guide me for the rest of my life. This quote keeps coming back to me: being part of the large Bocconi family does not end at the end of my Master course, but it is precisely in this moment that the added value of my choice reaches its maximum expression. I have always believed that Bocconi's intrinsic value is made by the people who, through their diversity, can bring richness to themselves and to others, every single day. The Bocconi Alumni Network is exactly what transforms your academic path at Bocconi into a life changing experience that makes me feel part of a community of extraordinary human beings that share the same passion for achieving what we love the most allowing us to transform our lives into a masterpiece. Three weeks ago, I started a new and exciting chapter as Junior Controller at Chanel in Milan, and I firmly believe that this will be only the first step of a path in which Bocconi has played the major role in ensuring that my biggest dreams can come true. MAFED represents the most insane year of my life but I truly believe that belonging to the Bocconi Alumni community will be the beginning of a never-ending path to bringing some beauty in this world: change is in our hands!
Great experience, with great professors who are always prepared to answer any questions one might have about the courses we undertake. I can’t hide the fact, that this is an intense and very demanding master program, but I can assure you that by giving us real life examples of real companies’ case studies and projects it gives us the right professional preparation for our future careers.
On a personal note, this master is being a life changing experience as it’s teaching me how to manage and cope with difficult tasks under the pressure of time, and how to work in a team in an effective way!
