Alma, the business school of Italy's Bologna university, offers scholarships for study on the world's only food and wine MBA.
If you want to develop your
wine and food career, and fancy the idea of spending a year studying in
Italy you should get your skates on – applications for scholarships
close in less than a week.
The Alma Graduate School offers an intensive 12-month MBA program
that is the only one in the world to focus on both wine and food. Having
grown the course since its inception in 2010, today there are 10
scholarships available, worth a combined $210,000.
Alma is the business school of the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world, based in the wine region of Emilia-Romagna.
The program includes a 500-hour internship, involving project work with
senior management of wine and food companies, designed to analyze real
company problems, develop strategies, and devise action plans.
The school’s Career Development Department helps participants pursue
their career goals and will support them in the job-seeking process.
Alumni have gained senior positions at companies ranging from
multinationals like Diageo or Gruppo Mezzacorona in the U.S. to the more
eclectic choices of Georgian wineries like Tbilvino or an ice-cream machine supplier in Italy.
Thanks to an agreement between Alma and leading Italian mineral water
company, Ferrarelle, two scholarships of €15,000 ($20,500) each are on
offer. One of them will be assigned to a qualified American student.
The school also offers full and partial scholarships ranging from
€10,000 to €27,000 for participants of the MBA; 20 full scholarships
were awarded in 2013. All applicants are eligible to apply regardless of
their nationality and scholarships are based on both academic and
professional merit.
In the heart of Italy,
the University of Bologna was established in 1088 at the strategic
crossroads of Europe where science, technology and entrepreneurship meet
values, culture and lifestyle. The Alma Graduate School, located in a
16th-Century villa receives students from more than 60 different
countries.
Program director Ludovica Leone says a pivotal element is the
relationship with companies not just in the internship phase but
throughout the learning experience.
“An important plus for students is the possibility of attending many
company visits where they can talk with people from the industry,
understand the main business issues, and how they achieve success and
excellence.”
“Food and Wine are two of the main pillars of 'Made in Italy',” she
said. "Many of the issues and characteristics of these industries are
similar, so it is possible to reflect on how both can approach new
opportunities of growth. Food companies should learn from the wine
industry and vice versa, and many times the two industries work together
for example in the case of culinary tourism or in the restaurant
industry.”
As far as the wine industry is concerned, many companies are involved
with the program, from small biodynamic producers to multi-national
wine companies. Some of the wineries that have participated in the
program include Cantine Arnaldo Caprai, Antinori, Bastianich, Mezzacorona group, GIV group, Santa Margherita, and Anselmi.
The program also includes a visit to Vinitaly, another sponsor of the program.
