You should probably PM Pitoburo, he's knowledgeable about Bocconi.
Already did so
. Although I think he is in Università Bocconi and not SDA (the business school).Also it is probably better to have the info in the forum, since it will be useful for people with similar doubts now or in the future.
I would say SDA Bocconi is just a BETTER world than Università Bocconi.
Smaller classes, more prepared candidates and better resources... it also comes at a much higher price, though.

it seems to me that you are comparing apples to oranges. Bocconi is for post bachelors, pre-experience students; SDA is for students with at least 2 years experience/MBA candidates. Someone who has just graduated from university is ineligible to attend SDA.
it's like comparing an LSE Msc Finance to an LBS MBA, it can't be done.
also, the Bocconi Msc program (I believe) uses the classrooms at newer Piazza Sraffa 13 building, which seem nice enough.

Yes, they are targeted at different people, but that shouldn't be a reason not to compare them, especially when they are part of the same university (unlike LSE and LBS).

sure you can compare them, but the end result is going to be rather meaningless, much like the one you get when you compare an apple to an orange. this is b/c the program you attend depends on your level of professional experience- it's not like students have a choice between the two, if you are pre-experience you do Bocconi, if you have experience you do SDA. Also, every institution's MBA program has better resources than its MSc programmes.

Actually, someone with a couple of years experience could apply both to the MSc Finance and the MSc Corporate Finance, and with the fees being at a similar level, a comparison may well be relevant.
someone with a couple of years' experience wouldn't apply to the MSc, they'd apply to the Masters in Corporate Finance or the MBA. MSc is a "laurea specialistica/magistrale" for recent uni graduates or Bocconi students following a 3+2 scheme. Masters in Corporate Finance is for people with work experience (basically a specialised MBA), so really, they are aimed at two different sets of people.
furthermore, the comparison isn't that relevant b/c whilst someone with work experience could in theory trade down to an MSc Finance (rather than a Masters in Corporate Finance), someone with no work experience (recent uni grad) cannot trade up to a Masters in Corporate Finance.

Well, I'm trying to decide between the 2, so the comparison is definitely relevant for me.
Admissions at Universitá Bocconi have told me that although the majority of the candidates are unexperienced, there are always a bunch of experienced one. For example, this year there are students with 1 and up to 5 years of work experience at the MSc Finance.
While talking with admissions at SDA Bocconi, I've been informed that in some cases they accept students with just 1 year of work experience. So, practically, there is an overlap.

is your work experience relevant to financial services? if so, an MBA or Masters in Corp Fin is the way to go.
I still maintain that the comparison isn't that relevant, at least to the large majority of canditates, b/c whilst someone with work experience could in theory trade down to an MSc Finance (rather than a Masters in Corporate Finance), someone with no work experience (recent uni grad) cannot trade up to a Masters in Corporate Finance.
I studied the MCF and I would not recommend it at all, unless that you have a secured position.
The Director, Ms. Tealdi is not trustworthy at all as she is used to lie to the students as often politicians do: promising many things without doing absolutely anything.
Careers Service does not exist at all, so forget aboout any kind of career change opportunity or networking opportunity.
To give you one example: they did not allow us to enter to the Bocconi & Jobs event.
Can you imagine how I felt after paying 30K and not have the access to attend to the only one Bocconi University career event?
Again, I consider that the MCF is not a serious program at all.
They just want to get the money from you, as they do not care at all about your future.
Unfortunately, this is the ugly truth I experienced.

Don't enroll the MCF. program is fine but crappy career service- Also crappy companies for job opportunities in MCF. You wil be left behind as most of us have. Go somewhere else....

I wonder if anyone has any insight on the Master in Corporate Finance at SDA Bocconi. Is it a respectable program?
