How to Apply

Fill out and submit the online application through the website by May 18th 2021.

Admission Process

Applications are examined on a rolling basis. Those received well in advance of the deadline have a greater chance of being admitted. Therefore, it is in your best interest to submit your application as early as possible. When we receive your application, we carry out a pre-selection based on the documents sent.
The Admissions Committee lets you know if you are considered suitable to proceed with the selection process.

If so, you will be required to have an interview, which may be held at SDA Bocconi in Milano or may take place remotely (via webcam). Candidates are carefully selected on the basis of an extensive review of their skills. Individual characteristics and personal interests are fundamental to give us an idea of who you are as a person.

The final result will be communicated once the application is complete, which means all documents must have been received and tests completed.

Scholarships & Tuition Waivers

Every year SDA Bocconi makes available some partial merit-based tuition waivers to MAMA candidates with an outstanding profile.

MAMA 2021-2022 candidates are offered 2 partial merit-based tuition waivers up to 25% of the tuition fee.

Scholarships/Tuition waivers are awarded by rounds on merit basis. Please apply to the scholarship/tuition waivers through your online application even though your selection process is still in progress. If you meet more than one requirement, you can apply to multiple ones.

Admission to the program is independent of the awarding of any scholarship or tuition waiver.
