Students will have the chance to network with companies through classes held within their premises, as well as attending lectures at MIP with Executive Managers from international companies;

All classes held at MIP will be recorded giving the students the chance to catch up anytime with the contents.

Please note that we are processing applications on a rolling basis. Due to the limited number of seats available in the class, applications may close even before the final deadline.

Admission is on a rolling basis, therefore each application is processed in the order that it is received. Furthermore, earlier applications are given preference over later ones. The decision whether to award admission to the MBA is communicated via email within roughly 2 weeks of the application being completed (that is, the interview has been done and all outstanding requirements and documents have been provided).

The MIP test is MIP’s own admissions exam that must be taken compulsorily in addition to the motivational interview that candidates must sit.

Bachelor degrees in just about any discipline are acceptable. The final decision will be made also based on what type of work experience the candidate has accrued.

You can choose which English certificate you would like to take. Generally they have a validity of 2 years. Some candidates may be exempted from providing the English certificate if they are native English speakers or can demonstrate that they have extensive experience working, living or studying in an English-speaking environment.

If you are located near the school or visiting Milan, we would be most happy to receive you on campus for your interview. However, given the international nature of the student body, this is not feasible in most cases. We therefore conduct interviews via Skype using a webcam.
