The Courses

The study program provides a complete preparation in business and economy (covering both functional areas and different companies), as well as an adequate mastery of mathematical-statistical instruments and legal system fundamentals. In particular, the educational program helps the students to develop the basic competencies for the analysis of corporate phenomena in complex social and economic contexts.

During the first year, the study program provides basic-educational activities as well as a specific subject program in order to guarantee a strong basic education to students enrolled in the three-year degree course. During the second year, the curriculum provides a specific subject program providing a pathway coherent with educational goals. Finally, during the third year, the program includes electives, the foreign language test, the IT test (or an apprenticeship) and the final dissertation.

Objectives

The three-year degree program in Business Economics trains professional figures to develop managerial, consulting and entrepreneurial skills in private or public organizations operating in financial markets. The study program guarantees a multidisciplinary and fundamental education in order to understand the functioning of modern companies and financial systems, as well as the main traits of the referential context.

Graduates will achieve adequate skills in economics, management, finance and law, and appropriate methods for the analysis and critical interpretation of business structures and dynamics. This program trains students to deal with specific management and administration aspects of particular enterprises and financial intermediation, whilst also considering principles of sustainability. Coherently with its educational goals, the program is articulated in educational/training pathways in order to enhance the student’s scientific and cultural aptitudes.

Teaching

Educational activities (teaching, workshops, final dissertation) are measured in credits (or ECTS) which testify the student’s commitment. The Credits System has been introduced to facilitate the student exchanges among universities, including foreign ones, and to recognize training activities, such as apprenticeship, which do not represent the ordinary (lessons) + (final exam) scheme. The assignment of credits, therefore, does not imply losing the marks for the work performed and the achieved learning. According to university tradition, the highest grade for exams is expressed with 30/30, while the highest final grade is expressed with 110 cum laudem. The number of credits assigned for each activity is indicated in the educational activities program.
