The Master in Management – Advanced Services is aimed at young graduates in the humanities and social sciences who want to acquire skills in the field of business management and who aspire to a managerial career in the company.
The success of a company also depends on the choices and strategies put in place to achieve certain goals. For this reason, sector experts are increasingly in demand who, through the application of managerial skills, have the sole objective of strengthening the development of the institution. A strongly professionalizing orientation is necessary for sectors such as Human Resources, Marketing, corporate and institutional communication, personnel selection and training.
The course is structured over 12 months and includes an initial phase with classroom lectures aimed at learning the fundamental knowledge of management and enriching the academic background with the management skills necessary for a direct and effective integration into the company. Teaching involves strong classroom interaction with managers and professionals, master lectures, testimonials and project activities. This is followed by an internship in the company, much earlier than the traditional masters, conceived as a meeting point between the aspirations of the participants with the opportunities and demands of industrial companies, particularly in industrial companies and in the consulting sectors. The course of the Master is completed with a third module, which includes courses and training activities carried out according to the methods typical of Executive Education, and provides intensive residential sessions of two days 2-3 times a month, accompanied by remote assisted projects and activities, parallel to the internship.
Thanks to the Master in Management, students have the opportunity to become part of the Business Network and the alumni community, a valuable international network to take the first steps of a managerial career.
The Master in Management / Advanced Services is conceived as a meeting point between the aspirations for a managerial career of young graduates in the humanities and social sciences with the opportunities and demands of the labor market. Businesses that operate in the various service sectors, including large-scale distribution and public utilities, and companies that offer advanced professional services to companies and consultancy companies, are the elective professional opportunities. Choosing the Master in Management means having a strong motivation to get involved with other people who share the same goal: an experience aimed at change that, by refining personal attitudes and the previously acquired specialized technical knowledge, helps to mature a choice aware of their professional future.
Contact the master Program Manager to begin this pathway.
In collaboration with:
Alessandro Grandi
Director of Studies
" The Master in Management is designed for individuals who want to invest in their future, and who began university studies in subjects not directly related to management and wish to increase the value of their education. Generally our students arrive to the program with a spirit of change and growth. The goal of the Master in Management is to carry out this objective through an innovative educational experience which is accomplished through direct connections with companies who are able to introduce students to the world of employment and professional growth. "
The Master in Management is a full-time program structured in 1.500 hours of learning activities over 12 months of study, divided into 332 hours of frontal teaching, of which 242 in the full time phase and 90 in the part-time phase, 543 estimated hours of individual study and 625 hours of internship. Overall, the Master's program consists of a training course that integrates classroom training, e-learning, on-the-job training and integration into the company, according to an innovative structure articulated in three main phases.
First Phase: 4 months in full-time classroom
General courses and company project: the latter concludes the phase of full-time training and anticipates contact with companies with consultancy activities on a real case, exercising the participants to use the general management tools learned.
Second Phase: 4 months of internship in the company
Immediately debuted in the company: the internship is conceived as a structured experience, an agreement with companies for the development of projects assisted by a school tutor.
Third phase: 4 months of part-time training
The Master concludes with 4 months of training from two / three classroom sessions per month on Friday and Saturday, which complete the training course. Part-time training provides participants and companies the opportunity to start forms of collaboration before the end of the course, also in continuity with the internship activity.
The Master program is updated and best suited to meet the needs of the market thanks to a continuous confrontation between the faculty and a specific Management Committee:
Financial and management accounting. The role of CFO in the company. Measuring and interpreting the company's financial performance. Analysis of indices and flows. Cost calculation and analysis for management control. Strategic control and strategic cost management systems. Preliminary economic and financial analysis and budget. Evaluation of managerial performance. Multi-dimensional performance management systems.

Over the last decade sustainability and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices have become paramount for companies as well as for the society at large. Although most companies have developed sustainability programs over the years, as they are cutting carbon emissions, reducing waste, and otherwise enhancing operational efficiency, we are witnessing a mishmash of sustainability tactics that does not add up to a sustainable strategy. To endure, a sustainable strategy has to cope with the competing – and apparently divergent – interests of all stakeholders: investors, employees, customers, governments, NGOs, society and the natural environment.
The purpose of this course is to initiate a debate around the role and functioning of modern corporations as sustainability challenges, opportunities and solutions emerge. In particular, the objective of the course is to detail and disentangle the links between sustainability, CSR and the key role that digital technologies can play as a mean to translate sustainable strategies into effective outcomes.
Within this perspective, three major learning outcomes are expected:
In order to achieve these objectives the course will combine (i) case studies and whole class discussion; (ii) talks by business leaders and managers dealing with sustainability issues; (iii) lectures.
The course teaches a new plan for the launch of a new business, be it a start-up or a new business branch. Students will be guided in the formulation of a business plan, working in small groups and having the opportunity to use all the managerial tools to give life to a concrete project. The course enables you to understand and define objectives and recipients of business plans, design structure and content, guide in the drafting and critical evaluation of the plan itself and the attached documents.

The integration with companies is a priority and an ever-present feature of all programs of the Bologna Business School, hence for the Master in Management too.
The School is fully committed to creating employability, by way of a systematic career service action, constantly focused on matching at best the students' professional projects with the needs companies have.
The internship is an exceptional springboard, suffice it to say that six months after the end of the full-time masters at Bologna Business School on average 91% of students work in a company.
The BBS Career Service assists and supports students since the very beginning, along a training and professional development path. This is accomplished by organizing a series of workshops, with the aim of providing the fundamental tools and resources to be appropriately prepared for the labor market.
To achieve this goal, students are involved in several workshops, among which we may list:
In addition to this, thanks to the collaboration with professional career counselors, students receive a customized service, in order to understand their strengths and to build a professional development plan, which will turn out to be helpful when looking for an internship. Here follow some of the activities:

E così è stato: il Master non mi ha dato solo nuove competenze, ma soprattutto metodo, responsabilità, voglia di continuare a imparare. Tutti elementi che ho occasione di mettere alla prova ogni giorno nella gestione dei progetti e-commerce che seguo per la stessa azienda nella quale sono entrato in tirocinio."
