The degree programme in Economics and Management ensures that students have the necessary knowledge to understand and operate both in the main areas of economic action (markets, micro and macro dynamics, economic policy), both in the fields of management and business administration. The cultural and professional profile of the graduate is characterized by a solid combination of theoretical knowledge and skills, methodologies and practices aimed at both the quantitative analysis of economic phenomena as well as the understanding of the more qualitative aspects of the economic and business sphere.


In particular, the course provides students with a solid base of management, economic, mathematical-statistical and legal tools that allow them to develop an autonomous capacity for analysis and judgment and in particular to deepen: the economic and financial decision-making strategies and processes of enterprises, consumers, financial intermediaries and regulators; the functioning of goods and services markets, financial markets and labour markets; their dynamics and effects on economic development; the distribution of income and wealth; the evolution of macroeconomic dynamics, monetary policy interventions, economic policy decisions; including institutional and regulatory choices; management problems of companies operating at European and international level; organizational issues for private enterprises and public administrations. In addition, given the growing demand for computer skills in the world of work, the course develops the practical and operational skills necessary for data analysis through learning statistical software R (in the courses of Statistics, Statistics for business decisions and Statistics for Big Data economic/business) and Gretl (used in the course of Econometrics).


In the course of their studies, students acquire, in their first year, the foundations of the regulatory system (within which institutions and companies operate), mathematics, the functioning of economic action, The operation of markets and business management. The second year, on the one hand, enhances preparation in quantitative, economic and legal disciplines, on the other hand, it addresses fundamental topics in business management, with particular reference to accounting aspects. The third year, after a consolidation aimed at mastering the institutional and regulatory environment, allows a partial differentiation of the path in two directions, the first aimed at refining knowledge in economic and quantitative, the second one dedicated to the deepening of the knowledge in the business area with particular reference to the organizational, strategic, marketing and financial aspects.


The course also includes seminars, project work and soft skills workshops and practical courses, in order to encourage students' autonomy in critical learning, choices and study organization. Lectures are combined with exercises, case study discussion, flipped classroom and other interactive activities to develop relevant problem solving skills and team working through group work, particularly suitable for higher level degree courses (master?s or master?s degree) and to effectively enter the world of work and professions.

Entry knowledge requirements

In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's Degree programme, prospective students must hold an upper secondary school diploma or equivalent qualification obtained abroad after at least 12 years of schooling; they also must have an adequate educational background and possess basic skills in the area of language comprehension, logic and mathematics.

Pursuant to Art. 2 of the Law 264/1999, in order to ensure high quality education (in particular with respect to the capacity constraints necessary to run laboratories, and to hold individual and group presentations in some courses), the maximum number of students who can enroll in the Bachelor's Degree programme is set at 250, plus 12 places reserved for international non-EU candidates residing abroad.


Assessment of basic knowledge and skills will be ascertained through an online admission test - TOLC-E, the Online Test organized by CISIA (Interuniversity Consortium for Integrated Access Systems), that will focus on the topics listed in the syllabus given at the following link: https://www.cisiaonline.it/area-tematica-tolc-economia/struttura-della-prova-e-sillabo/

Selection of students is based on the score obtained in the TOLC-E admission test.

Applicants who want to transfer from other Degree programmes or who already hold a degree and request its recognition (partial or total) must also sit for the test and rank sufficiently high.

The admission test is organized in two sessions: the Spring Session, is exclusively reserved to students attending their last year of secondary school; the Summer Session is open to all candidates.

The course also requires a knowledge of English at B1 level of the European Framework of Reference. The knowledge of the English language is verified by passing a specific test.

International non-EU candidates residing abroad - both those in their last year of secondary school and those who already got their diploma in previous years - must apply in the spring session. Non-EU candidates who don't reach an overall score of 4 in the reading comprehension section of the TOLC-E will be excluded from the admission procedure.


Additional Learning Requirements

Admitted candidates who didn't reach an overall score of 5 in mathematics and logic sections of the TOLC-E will be assigned Additional Learning Requirements (OFA, Obblighi Formativi Aggiuntivi) in the area of logic and mathematics, that must be fulfilled within the first year; students who do not fulfil OFA within this deadline will not be able to take the exams of the second or third year. Further information on these OFA are available online on the Bachelor Degree programme website: https://ema.cdl.unimi.it/it/insegnamenti/recupero-ofa.
