The Course of Studies in Economics and Finance (class L-33) offers the economic knowledge, the tools of theoretical and quantitative analysis, and the critical skills necessary to work successfully in administrative and managerial careers in private and public enterprises, in organizations operating in the European and international spheres, in national and international institutions that are engaged in the development and application of economic research, as well as in professions related to the fields of finance, international cooperation, and resource management for sustainable development. In addition, the Course of Studies offers a solid preparation for continuing studies in order to enter master's degree programs in economics and finance and first-level master's degrees.
The Course of Studies in Economics and Finance absorbs the positive experience of the previous course in Economic Sciences, updating the proposed educational path to the new needs of the labor market and the changed international context. In the wake of the financial and sovereign debt crises, the revisitation of the educational offerings has added a greater focus on the problems of public and private finance to the themes, already present, of economics and economic policies in the national and international spheres (including international cooperation) and those of sustainable development and environmental economics. The themes are declined in different pathways, constructed to guide the student toward the education most congenial to her/him.
Educational Pathways
After an initial period of three semesters, during which students are provided with the indispensable basic knowledge in the fields of economics, business, law and mathematical-statistics, the degree program includes three differentiated training paths, which offer educational modules oriented toward the in-depth study of specific areas of analysis and the training of advanced skills in the relevant fields.
