The Master's Degree Program in Economics and Entrepreneurship offers specialized training in economic subjects and entrepreneurship. The chosen microeconomic perspective and the specific focus on small and medium-sized enterprises implies that the core subjects are aimed at an in-depth study of the units that interact in the environment (especially firms and individuals) and the decision-making and behavioral dynamics that characterize them. All teaching is offered in English, and responds to the demand for in-depth economic-business skills coming both from students currently enrolled in the University's bachelor's degrees and from more distant geographic areas, such as Asia (Central and Eastern) and Africa. The disciplinary areas of the Program are economics, business administration, statistics, and law with a focus on the development and dissemination of an entrepreneurial culture that also enables the graduate to implement the entrepreneurial activity itself. Soft skills, multidisciplinary skills and practical training aimed at the creation and development of an innovative business idea with social and sustainability impact, business plan writing and market analysis are an integral part of the educational activities of the Program.
The main professional profiles trained, in line with the guidelines expressed by the DG "Enterprise and Industry" and the recent labor policy guidelines of the European Commission, are:
- Managers of Italian or foreign innovation-oriented companies
- Entrepreneurs capable of developing start-ups in innovative and emerging sectors
- Employees/consultants of national and international companies or institutions endowed with creativity and flexibility (so-called entrepreneurial employees), bearers of "intrapreneurship," i.e., capable of making a creative, original and "entrepreneurial" contribution to the entities for which they work.
The educational offerings are organized as follows: in the first year there are compulsory core courses in Economics for Business, Business Law, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Accounting and Banking for SMEs, and Soft Skills plus a set of elective exams aimed at deepening, according to different perspectives, the topic of entrepreneurship and understanding the business and work environment. In the second year there are compulsory courses in Applied Statistics and Marketing and Business Cases, plus another set of specialized elective exams that allow the student to delve deeper into the topics of his or her interest. Completing the academic path is the compulsory curricular internship, which is worth 12 ECTS and can also be carried out at foreign companies or institutions, thanks to which the student has the opportunity to experience in the field and apply the skills acquired, and finally the dissertation also written in English, under the supervision of a Professor of the Program, on a topic chosen within the subjects of the Program. The thesis is worth 15 ECTS and can also be done abroad.
