One of World’s Top 10 Business Universities To Enter Bulgaria
Bocconi University will start a Master’s program in Bulgaria. SDA Bocconi School of Management in Italy is one of the most elite universities in the world and is officially ranked by Financial Times as the sixth best place in the world for business education.
Bocconi will conduct the “Finance, Banking and Real Estate Management” Master’s program for senior executives in partnership with the American University in Bulgaria.
The program will be launched in mid-October this year and will last between 14-16 months. It will consist of 16 modules and will take place entirely in Sofia with classes held in English. Graduates will be awarded two diplomas – from SDA Bocconi and the American University in Bulgaria. Both diplomas are recognized in Europe and the United States. The lectures will be held at weekends, making the programme suitable for working managers. The cost of the program will be EUR 22 500. It is common practice for companies to invest part of the amount for training. The university will also work with banks with preferential credits for education.
According to American University’s acting President Dr. Steven Sullivan, the joint master’s program will enable the candidates not only to build a career but also to build the new Bulgarian economy.
