HEC Montréal & Bocconi University launch new dual degree

HEC Montréal & Bocconi University launch new dual degree

May 13, 2024

A new agreement has just been signed between HEC Montréal and Bocconi University, Milan. This will allow students from both these institutions to earn two degrees after having completed part of their course work in either of the two institutions.

Students of HEC Montréal's Master of Management (MM) in Cultural Enterprises program will now have the opportunity to earn a Master of Science in Economics and Management of Arts, Culture, Media, and Entertainment (Laurea Magistrale) from Bocconi University, in addition to their MM degree. To do this, they will simply need to replace their final year in Montréal with one full year of study in Milan.

Similarly, under this agreement, students who are pursuing a master's degree from Bocconi University in Milan will also be able to earn an MM in Cultural Enterprises from HEC Montréal, by completing their second year of studies in Montréal.

A partnership with multiple advantages

This international stream will help students earn two degrees from two higher education institutions with AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS accreditations in just two years. It is also an excellent springboard for launching an international career.

Bocconi University

Bocconi University is an important and long-standing partner of HEC Montréal.

Both institutions already offer:

  • the joint Master of Management in International Arts Management (MMIAM) program, in partnership with Southern Methodist University (SMU) from Dallas;
  • the student exchange program;
  • the second MSc dual degree program.

Since 2012, 310 students from both institutions have put this partnership to good use. In Fall 2024, two students from Bocconi University will benefit from the provisions of this new agreement in HEC Montréal.
