Upon completion of the Master's degree programme in Business Administration, Law and Corporate Governance, graduates will possess extensive knowledge in the areas of business administration, mathematics, statistics and law, acquired through a combination of courses and learning methods. This will enable students to develop the skills needed to address corporate problems with a dynamic and integrated approach, as required to run a business, manage the economic and financial operations of public administrations and private companies, and to plan and steer change, by improving the efficacy, efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the management process. These goals should be achieved while putting economic, environmental and social sustainability at the centre of business operations, and while fully respecting gender equality principles. Graduates will master the above-mentioned knowledge also by using quantitative formalisation logics and techniques, by adopting an international and intercultural perspective, and by leveraging technological and digital innovations. They will acquire the methods, know-how and skills required to hold managerial roles in corporate administration and governance. They will be able to assess the impact of measures pertaining to the domains of strategic policy-making, management, planning and control, and the short, medium and long term impacts of corporate projects on a national and international scale, also with regard to the current globalised economic landscape. Moreover, they will develop the knowledge and skills needed to work as freelance professionals in the field of economics.

Graduates will be able to use the specific vocabulary of the various subjects studied to achieve effective communication, both orally and in writing, including by relying on digital communication tools. Thanks to the skills acquired, they will be able to smoothly integrate into new work teams while maintaining decision-making autonomy, and to constantly upgrade their theoretical and practical know-how in consideration of the latest technological trends regarding production, organisation and financial processes.

The programme optimally prepares students to work as: businessperson or manager for public or private companies and organisations of the industrial and service sectors; freelance professionals (for economics-related professions); high-level expert or consultant, particularly in the areas of business administration, management and organisation, labour and production, finance, management planning and control, internal and statutory auditing, design and management of intra- and inter-organisational networks. Graduates may also be employed by Italian and international consultancy firms specialised in strategic planning and organisational design processes, also with a view to ESG sustainability criteria. Moreover, graduates will possess advanced theoretical and methodological knowledge on the legal compliance of business phenomena and dynamics, with a view to the national, European and extra-European context. They will be able to apply the set of knowledge acquired in the areas of law, taxation, accounting and business administration for the purposes of managing crises and preventing compliance risks, and to participate in the definition of corporate ESG sustainability indexes. Career opportunities may also be found in the area of professional services for the third sector, which is rapidly expanding both in Italy and Europe.

To complement the range of competencies taught during the programme, students who choose the business administration curriculum are to complete a professional internship, which is worth 10 credits (CFU/ECTS). This internship complies with the provisions of the Framework Agreement signed between the Italian Ministry of University and Research (MUR) and the Consiglio Nazionale dei Dottori Commercialisti e degli Esperti Contabili (Italian Board of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts). To implement the Framework Agreement, the University of Milan has signed an ad-hoc agreement with the Ordine dei Dottori Commercialisti ed Esperti Contabili di Milano (Association of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Milan). Students who choose the business administration curriculum and meet all the requirements stated in the Agreement, also with regard to their Bachelor's degree, can benefit from the provisions of the Framework Agreement with regard to the State Exam for chartered accountants and accounting experts.

The Academic Board reserves the right to award internship credits also for other forms of traineeship or work activity that are nonetheless relevant to the degree programme and the expected graduate profile.

The study plan also requires students to develop computer skills and to achieve English proficiency at level B2 (through a dedicated English course).

The learning pathway culminates in a final exam.
