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.

Research and Critical Thinking

Throughout my academic year, so far, I have achieved to join in the academic community where I was able to conduct academic research in various laboratories of our University. I was able to join, conduct and contribute in an academic team work, specifically in fields of animal studies and cognition, neurological assessments and laboratory tool work (such as EEG). Together with these experiences I have had the chance to improve myself sharing my experience and discuss findings on related field.

A wonderful opportunity to learn design and live Italy.

Learning design in the city of Florence is almost automatic, because the eyes watch captivating art, history and good taste in every corner, everyday. Studying a Master in Interior Design at F.I.D.I. was an experience that deeply enriched my life. In terms of space, the Institute is an excellent example of European Interior Design: well-conserved facade and frescoes of the 1700's on the ceilings and walls mix with new materials and pieces of contemporary furniture, creating a balanced, unique and intimate atmosphere. As I came from a very large university with many campuses in my country, F.I.D.I.'s attention to detail, neatness and personalization felt exquisite. Lessons were given in small groups, teachers are well prepared and actually enjoy what they are doing. From them I learned to observe closely, in order to start designing with quality, always respecting and appreciating the value of places and objects. Possibly the two things I would change are: 1) that teachers plan new projects for their new students to work. Florence has too many highlights and, as I keep in touch with the Institute at social media, I see that they are still making one of the projects that was asigned to my generation 7 years ago, and 2) that it lasted longer. Masters are usually longer to give students a steady formation.

Great year

Enrolling in the International Master in Project Management has been an incredible milestone for my professional development. The curriculum perfectly balances core theoretical methodologies with practical, real-world case studies, making every concept immediately applicable to real workplace scenarios. ​Beyond the quality of the coursework, what truly sets this program apart is the level of mentorship. I am deeply grateful to Gianmarco and the entire academic team for their hands-on support, responsiveness, and continuous guidance throughout the journey. I highly recommend this master’s program to any professional looking to refine their strategic mindset, sharpen their leadership capabilities, and elevate their career in project management.

Origini Italia

Really amazing board of professors, a really good structure in an amazing location (Trieste is a lovely city). The classes are dynamic, with a lot of student participation. I would definitely recommend this business school.

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! .
