When you meet and interact with people from different cultures and communities, conversations cross borders, you discuss situations and your brain starts thinking like a Venn diagram. Your ideas interconnect with their ideas, and suddenly there are so many unexplored opportunities that are waiting to be discovered.
Bocconi recognizes the value of such global interactions, especially among students who are brimming with curiosity. With more than 200 partner institutions around the globe, imagine the exchange of ideas and the rich conversations that you can have with your peers.
The International Master in Business (IMB) program offered by SDA Bocconi Italy at the Asia Center provides a unique experience to all their candidates - a semester at Bocconi in Milan. You will meet and study with students from different institutions from across the globe and you’ll also get to do a specialization and build your cross-cultural network.
The IMB program has been specifically designed for global learning. While you spend 5 terms in Mumbai, you are taught by Bocconi professors who have worked and consulted with global firms. They bring to the table their expertise and experience, along with their current research projects that help students understand the ever-changing landscape of the business world.
