Founded in 1902, Bocconi educational offer accompanies the entire cycle of life-long learning: from pre-experience (Bachelor and Master) to post-experience programs (PhD, plus MBA and Executive programs at SDA Bocconi School of Management), almost all of which are delivered in English to an increasingly international student body. The university regularly appears in the most prominent rankings which cover its areas of expertise in economics and management, and more generally the social sciences.

Bocconi University was the first school in Italy to set up a post-graduate course in Tourism Management in 1986. Today, our specialized Master program in Tourism Economics and Management (MET) is a one academic year course developed to train young professionals aspiring to take on a managerial or entrepreneurial role in the tourist industry.

Theory and practice together with quality of the faculty are essential elements of the MET program which is based on active teaching methods and experiential learning. Core courses are complemented with case discussions, group works, business projects and workshops with managers and entrepreneurs operating in the tourism industry to get an hands-on approach. Classroom activities are enhanced with off-campus activities, such as internships, field projects, in-company trainings and student challenges to stimulate an environment of continuous exchange of ideas.

Bocconi educational offer on tourism related topics also includes a Master of Science in Economics and Management in Arts, Culture, Media and Entertainment with a specific Major in Cities, Tourism and Events and an Executive Program in Hospitality Management at SDA Bocconi School of Management.
