Admissions

You must submit an official transcript or a certified copy of your grades (in English or Italian) and a certified copy of your degree certificate from the college or university you attended. These documents should include grades for individual subjects with the grading scale, the type of degree, the date of graduation, and the dates of enrollment.

Official documents can also be sent directly by your university to admissions.mama@sdabocconi.it

Applicants who obtained a university degree in Italy must self-certify their student records. This requirement only applies to students who graduated from Italian universities.

MAMA 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 must submit a result of the TOEFL, IELTS, PTE Academic or CAE tests.

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. Please note that the validity of some English language certifications expires after two years from the date of the test. If in doubt, please check with your test provider.

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.

References must be from people who know you well, and can comment knowledgeably on your professional and/or academic background, providing a detailed evaluation of your qualifications for the MAMA.

The contact details of your referees (name, surname and email address) will need to be uploaded on the automatic tool of the online application form. The referees will then receive a form to be filled out and submitted to us.

The SDA Test, offered in English, assesses quantitative, logical, and verbal skills. Enrollment for the SDA test will be communicated by Admission Services once the pre-selection is complete.

Either in Milano at SDA Bocconi, or remotely by a video call

If your company intends to provide financial support for your participation in the MAMA program, either partially or in full, a company representative must complete an additional document available on our online application.

Although the program is conducted mostly in English, if you are not fluent in Italian it is highly recommended that you take the Italian course for beginners during the program.
