This Double Degree experience should not only be considered as a Degree Program but rather as a new chapter of one s life, with a guaranteed sense of achievement that will last a lifetime. Laurent Mang IIMA Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad June 2009 March 2010»» The SSE Double Degree was one of the greatest choices I have made in my entire life. I strongly believe that the DD is the perfect program for people who want to best develop the skills necessary to succeed in the international business community. SSE, for example, provides an international academic network, a great campus for learning and state-ofthe-art and innovative research. What really makes the Double Degree unique, however, is the opportunity to study with smart and exciting people from all over the world! Thanks to this program, I was selected for a 3- month internship at Kairos Investment Management in New York, and then at Deutsche Bank AG, London.

Double Degree Programs at Università Bocconi» The Master in Public Administration I completed was very intense and challenging. Overall, it provided me with great satisfaction and selfaccomplishment. I feel like I deeply improved both my hard and soft skills. The MPA gave me the opportunity to specialize in the public administration field I m interested in, debate with highly qualified professors, create a professional network and experience a valueadded internship at the New York State Assembly. I also enjoyed American culture and traditions! Paola Cantarelli SUNY August 2009 May 2010» Double and Joint Degrees are the ultimate level of cooperation among the leading institutions within the global education scenario. They are value-added programs which in response to the needs of major corporations and international organizations are designed to educate young and talented students to become tomorrow s managers. Students must be able to tackle diversity and respond to the challenges of tough international competition using a truly global mind-set. With in-depth exposure to diversity at all levels in academics, interpersonal relations and cultures, such graduates will possess the soft and hard skills required to succeed across national and regional boundaries, thus increasing their employability and attracting an enhanced return compared to the more traditional stand-alone programs. Double and Joint Degrees are designed by top schools worldwide as opportunities for outstanding students, in response to a constant request from students to gain a real competitive advantage over their colleagues. The unmatched opportunity to complete a second degree, in addition to the degree from the home university, allows participants to: acquire further insight on specific topics (in a different country, hence in a different academic and professional environment) increase knowledge and skills by pursuing a degree in a different field and thus complementing their academic profile» "Double Degree programs are an amazing and valueadding experience for every curriculum and they allow you to truly experience and enjoy life abroad. The DD also helps you enhance your network: I worked with international students in several study projects, since group assignments were the main part of every course. Lectures were interactive so I spoke with different professors. At RSM I gained a more literaturebased, academic-driven approach to study and I also met employers during university events and worked at an interesting internship here in Holland. I strongly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to study hard and develop a career abroad." Beatrice Zoffoli RSM Rotterdam School of Management August 2011 - March 2012 In this respect, Bocconi has heavily invested in implementing a series of strategic alliances leading to joint curricula in recent years and aims to contribute its core academic competencies by devoting the best resources to these flagship programs. In addition, as a demonstration of their unique importance and peculiarity in the sector of higher education, Double and Joint Degrees are often created in cooperation with local and transnational academic authorities, and require constant faculty and research interaction along with continuous support and commitment from major international recruiters. Today Bocconi can boast one of the largest offers of such programs at a graduate level among the top ranked universities worldwide. The exclusive partner schools range from key European players to prestigious global educators in the major emerging markets. All of them share a history of cooperation with Bocconi and widely recognized international standing, and they all operate in the crucial cross-border arenas, including the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, China and India). Dozens of Double and Joint Degree opportunities are hence yearly available worldwide for Bocconi s top students who are willing to broaden their personal horizons, tackle the extra workload and the challenging environments, and gain a crucial advantage in accessing important new markets. 3

Special Program: Double Degree in International Management with Fudan University, School of Management The program The Double Degree in International Management (DDIM) is a Master of Science program that offers the opportunity to attend the first year at Fudan University in China (Shanghai) and the second year at Università Bocconi. This program is the result of an agreement between the Italian and Chinese Ministers of Education to design a unique and challenging academic program with the objective of creating a managerial class with a strong understanding of China and its stand-out growing economy. If you are a highly skilled and motivated candidate, the DDIM is an outstanding opportunity to acquire both an interdisciplinary knowledge and intercultural competencies as well as broaden your professional horizons in order to meet the new demands of the job market. The main features of the DDIM are: 2 degrees: the Italian Master of Science Degree in International Management issued by Bocconi and a Chinese Master of Science Degree issued by Fudan University. Mixed class environment with Chinese students and Chinese faculty. One thesis with a Bocconi advisor according to the Bocconi rules and one defense in Milan. No additional tuition fee for Fudan University but only an administrative fee paid to Bocconi. A dedicated team within the International Relations in Milan and the China Desk in Shanghai will provide you with support on Chinese visa requirements and housing in Shanghai, information sessions before departure from Bocconi and upon arrival at Fudan University, and assistance throughout the entire duration the program. While studying at Fudan University, you will also have the chance to take part in extra-curricular activities such as special seminars or events organized by Bocconi in Shanghai along with the participation of Bocconi Faculty and Alumni and representatives of Italian institutions and companies operating in China. These activities will enhance your experience by providing new insights on specific themes and will broaden your networking opportunities. 29

As a final step of the process, pre-selected students will have to complete a motivational interview. There are a total 30 slots available for the new edition of the DDIM. In Their Own Words The DDIM is one of those experiences that changes your life. If you are ready to exchange your ideas with people with very diverse backgrounds, live in a totally different country (I loved it!) and learn, this is the right program. Group works, exams and studying take their time but you definitely have time for your non-ddim life. It can be challenging at times, but what I got out of it was immense for me. It goes without saying, the more you are motivated to live a year in China, the more you can get from this life-changing experience. Andrea Carta DDIM III Edition 2008-2010 Bosch, Munich 30

While most of my friends were interested in simply reading books about the impressive Chinese economic growth and emerging social controversies, I decided to experience it myself. I could not watch these unique phenomenon unfolding without filtering it through my lenses. The DDIM offered a truly unique opportunity to improve my global understanding of a complex society on the move, learning from its main asset: young, brilliant and motivated individuals coming from all parts of China to achieve their dreams through excellence in their education. If you are willing to take a big risk by challenging your deepest assumptions, finding solutions every day to simple problems that seem like big obstacles because you lack cultural sensitivity and flexibility, then this is the right program for you. Taking the risk of studying in China helped me to achieve my dream of working for an international organization. I started my career as economist at the United Nations in the Kingdom of Cambodia even before I graduated from the DDIM. Many of my colleagues at the UN are Chinese, some of them Fudan alumni themselves. They consider me to be an insider in their society, as very few foreigners have the privilege of studying in such a prestigious Chinese institution. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss the program further. Livio Valenti DDIM II Edition 2007-2009 Program Officer (Economist), United Nations, Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), Phnom Penh, Cambodia To date I can say that the DDIM in Shanghai has been one of the most intense, enriching and global experiences of my life. It was one year of new influences coming my way from different perspectives. The courses are tough in terms of time management and team member coordination. However, this is the price for an excellent result: you learn a lot because you are in a highly intellectually-stimulating environment. You daily face the diversity of the place and the people and this creates both a continuous challenge for self-improvement and an open-minded orientation. This all became important to my personal growth as well as for my own career. Today I live in Newcastle upon Tyne and I have the opportunity to work as a research assistant before starting my PhD.
