The Food and Wine MBA and Design, Fashion and Luxury Goods MBA programs are a concentration in the Master of Business Administration of Alma Graduate School, the business school of the University of Bologna. Both programs are a challenging, intensive 12-month full-time international program taught entirely in English. Students will have the chance to learn Italian during the program.
The MBA's include managerial training, team-based projects, workshops with managers and entrepreneurs, in-company visits and an internship at a leading business. Upon completion of the Alma degree, graduates go on to lucrative careers in their respected fields.
The University of Bologna has attracted students from around the globe since 1088. The Alma Graduate School blends this venerable academic tradition with the managerial know-how and practical experience of the most innovative and successful chefs, restaurateurs and companies operating today, including strong links to such prestigious names as Massimo Bottura, Chef of Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy.
