Educational goals
The degree course in Economics aims to provide a broad and in-depth basic preparation in economic (macroeconomics, microeconomics, public economics), business (business economics, management, accounting), legal (public and private law), mathematical-statistical (mathematics for economic-financial applications, statistics, econometrics) and historical-social (contemporary economic history, sociology and economic geography) disciplines.
This preparation provides tools to be applied in constantly changing contexts and allows graduates to operate with professionalism and flexibility in a vast range of economic organizations (manufacturing companies, service companies, financial companies, economic and non-economic public bodies, and non-profit organizations), also following subsequent specializations (degrees or masters), in the economic and financial field.
In order to achieve the aforementioned educational goals, the degree course in Economics is divided into four different paths. Alongside the traditional basic course in Economics, more oriented towards the study of the economic-social system as a whole and the evaluation of public policies, there are courses in Economics and Management, for those who are more interested in a future placement in a company, and the course in Economics and Finance focused on the study of the world of finance and financial operators. The course in Economics and Data Science completes the educational offer, and it intends to respond to the demand, increasingly expressed by the manufacturing world, for new professional figures capable of extracting the most relevant economic, financial and commercial information from exponential mass of data (so-called Big Data).
Consult the study plans of the four paths:
- Economy, Markets and Institutions
- Economics and Management
- Economics and Finance
- Economics & Data Science
The training course includes a first two-year period common to all courses, and a differentiation in the third year.
The basic preparation is completed by the study of IT for Economics, preparatory to the practical training carried out in the laboratory.
Finally, in addition to a specific English language teaching, the educational offer establishes that all first and second-year courses are delivered both in Italian and English, hence giving utmost flexibility to the study plans: the student can attend the courses (and sit exams) of the first two years either all in Italian or all in English, or else she/he can choose those she/he intends to attend and sit in Italian and those in English. On the other hand, the teachings of the third year are taught exclusively in English.
Heir to the tradition of prestige and success that for generations of students has represented the degree in Economics and Business, the new study course in Economics maintains its "educational philosophy" unchanged, based on the strictness of the basic preparation and its interdisciplinary nature.
Responding to the constant transformations of the productive world, the new articulation of the study paths significantly expands the space dedicated to computer applications in the economic, statistical and financial fields, carried out in modern laboratories, to training moments expressly dedicated to the development of interpersonal and communication skills, as well as deepening the English language, to broaden the working horizons and subsequent specialization paths of future graduates.
Career opportunities
At the end of the course of study, the student is able to enter all those economic organizations, national or international, private or public, which require the ability to examine and solve economic problems using economic, business, quantitative, IT, linguistic, legal and social knowledge.
The degree course in Economics, therefore, provides the basic knowledge for the subsequent placement in companies (manufacturing, services), financial firms (banks, insurance companies, other financial intermediaries), economic and non-economic public bodies (ministries, universities, local authorities), national and international financial institutions (Bank of Italy, World Bank, European Central Bank, International Monetary Fund), control and regulatory bodies (Antitrust Authorities and international and national Regulatory Agencies), consultancy firms, non-profit organizations and in all other institutions and companies in which advanced economic, financial and managerial skills are required.
