GUIDES TO THE UNIVERSITY

The program is taught in English.

The BIEF shares with other Management Bachelor of Science programs part of the curriculum (mainly concentrated in the first three semesters) paying particular attention to the international perspective.

From the fourth semester BIEF differs from other Bachelor of Science programs:

• a part of the study plan is the same for all BIEF students and is characterized by the development of issues related to the internationalization of enterprises and financial institutions, international economics, business law and comparative European perspective and international development of quantitative and qualitative studies in comparative perspective.
• a part of the study plan is instead differentiated according to the major chosen (economics or finance), and is characterized by major compulsory courses as well as courses chosen from related disciplines of the path. In fact, students can then adapt the last part of the study plan to their individual interests through the activities of their choice (only courses or curricular internship).

The study plan also provides for:

• Computer Skills for economics
• Two EU languages other than the mother tongue of the student. The Italian is compulsory for students not Italian native speakers
• Seminars for the development of behavioral skills and interpretation of the current competitive environment in relation to the role of companies in the economic and social context
• Final paper
