AN INCOMING MBA EXCHANGE STUDENT BLOGS ABOUT HER EXPERIENCE IN MILANO.

Looking back on what I had learned both in the classroom and on my travels, I couldnt help but feel an immense feeling of both gratitude and
fulfillment... During my time away from home, I traveled over 25,000 miles on 14 flights and countless trains, visiting 15 cities in 9 countries.
While in Milan, I took 10 classes across 2 modules, completing 15 credits by spending over 150 hours in the classroom, going on 5 company
visits and giving 8 group presentations.
Not only do I have memories that will last a lifetime, I also completed my MBA and am now poised to put together all the pieces of the next
chapter of my life in New York. But perhaps the most important thing I learned on my trip may just simply be Milano, ti amo.

REV UP YOUR ENGINES FOR THE SUMMER INTERNSHIP
Our MBA is one of the very few one-year programs that include a mandatory summer internship.
The Summer Internship campaign is where you start interacting with a network of international employers who are recruiting MBA
students for eight to twelve weeks internship projects between June and August.
How you prepare for this campaign is crucial, as the summer internship is not only an opportunity to apply to real life what you have
learned in the classroom, but for many of you might well be the first step in the right direction of a career change.
The campaign starts as early as November

with tough selection processes, an
invaluable bootcamp to develop the right

MEET THE EMPLOYERS
All year round, Career Service invites employers and alumni to post job opportunities on our CAREER PORTAL or to come on
CAMPUS to meet MBA students, interview them and recruit them for summer internships or permanent positions.
Attending company presentations and networking events and making yourself visible
helps you start creating a network of contacts you will be able to build on for years to come.
Visiting employers at their sites is even more exciting: interest-based groups of students
may be invited to and help organize Career treks and Company visits in Italy and abroad.
International Business Challenges sponsored by global companies in the healthcare,
consumer goods, consulting or venture capital sectors encourage the most competitive
candidates of top business schools to engage in a fair but tough competition over a
business case. Winning teams get great visibility and often gain a fast track to a summer
internship engagement and more.
Even if some employers are not able to come on campus, it does not mean they are not
interested in you: Career Service coordinates applications to online job-postings on the
Schools platform and helps recruiters to select candidates for interviews directly from the
CV Database.
Career Service also encourages entrepreneurship and partners with students who seek
employment on their own, providing advice and facilitating contacts.
