Milan hires on a longer clock than London or Paris, and Bocconi's own reporting is candid about it — the major firms in the city often recruit on a six-to-twelve-month horizon rather than the on-cycle three-month window, so this programme's employment figure rises materially between the three-month and one-year marks. The FT 2025 weighted three-year salary is US $115,000. The sector mix runs consulting 29% of placements, finance and accounting 21%, technology 8%, FMCG, retail and luxury 8%, and healthcare and pharma 6% — and the luxury pipeline is the genuinely distinctive one, because Milan's position in fashion and luxury opens LVMH, Kering, Prada and the Italian supply-chain firms in a way no other MiM location matches. Placement is roughly 60% Italy, 25% the rest of Europe and 15% beyond. Our guide to which industries hire MiM graduates sets that against the field.
Graduates of the Università Bocconi MiM report $115k on the Financial Times' weighted measure — pay about three years after graduation, not a starting salary. The employment rate within three months of graduation is 95%.
That places it #14 of 51 programs we track on graduate salary, above the cohort median.
Compare this against every Master in Management in Italy on our MiM salary & careers in Italy guide.

- Bocconi — IM CEMS MIM, IM Asia - China MIM, IM Asia - DD Bocconi-ESSEC and IM Concentration – DD ESSEC Luxury Management: the additional selection step for these four International Management tracks. INTERVIEW CHECKED 2026-09-03: "A recorded video interview is mandatory for all applicants", with "two minutes for each of the three questions", submitted through the Apply2B portal, and described as letting the Admissions Committee "assess candidates' communication skills, critical thinking, and interpersonal competencies". The general MSc admissions page (cited above, re-read the same day) confirms the standard route is unaffected: the video presentation there is "optional" for most programmes, these four "require the submission of a dedicated video presentation", and the only Bocconi programme it describes as requiring a video INTERVIEW outright is the MA in Global Law (GLOBE), which is not a management degree ↗ — Università Bocconi
- Bocconi University — Language requirements for MSc/MA programs. ENGLISH EVIDENCE CHECKED 2026-09-05: the bar is CEFR B2, met by a 'university qualification (or secondary school diploma) awarded in English', a recognised certificate, or an 'English exam at B2 level (or higher) passed in a university course'; 'students who are nationals from a majority English-speaking country are automatically assumed to meet the minimum English Language requirement'. NEGATIVE RECORDED: no country restriction attaches to the qualification-awarded-in-English route. Proof is due at enrolment rather than selection — 'no later than June 30, 2027' — with C1 by 23 July 2027 for IM Global Experience, Finance Global Experience, IM CEMS MIM, the IM Asia Bocconi-ESSEC Double Degree and the IM Concentration DD ESSEC Luxury Management. P33f RE-READ 2026-09-12: read again for one question only — does submitting a test result BELOW the course requirement remove an exemption the applicant would otherwise hold, as Bath states ('you will not be exempt')? This page publishes NO rule either way. Recorded as a dated SILENCE on that question, never as permission: a page that says nothing has not promised to ignore a weak score. ↗ — Bocconi University
