An amazing experience!

I love the quality of education I received at Bocconi. Having previously studied Management back in Turkey, coming here to do my masters in Marketing Management allowed me to get much more specialisation regarding my field. I got to know more about the data side of marketing, which brought me a whole other perspective. The school itself has many opportunities to make your university life the best possible experience. I enjoyed the seminars held, the extracurricular activities carried out, the opportunities to join an association, and have also been staying in one of the residences of Bocconi, which has made my life so much easier. Overall, I can say that both in terms of the education I got and the campus life Bocconi provided me, I am very satisfied with everything.

RBS Business Simulation Game Experience.

Participating in the Business Simulation Game as part of my MBA at Rome Business School was one of the most practical and impactful experiences of the program, It provided a realistic environment to test strategic decision making under pressure and highlighted the strong interdependence between market dynamics, operational performance, cost discipline, people management, pricing strategy and profitability.

Solid program and international atmosphere

The program at MIB Trieste School of Management allowed me to acquire solid management skills in an international context. The courses are well-structured, focused on practice and group projects. I particularly appreciated the cultural diversity and the interaction with students from all over the world. I recommend this school to those looking for an enriching and professional learning experience. The organization could be improved at times, but overall, the experience was very positive.

A place for opportunities!

I completed both my Bachelor’s (Triennale) and Master’s (Magistrale) degrees in Biotechnology. Being in a small class was really helpful. It made communication between students and professors much easier. Also, the program offers a one-year internship packed with opportunities! .
