Master of Science Programs (2-y)



2.6.3. Description of the educational path

The curriculum is structured to allow students to progressively orient themselves towards different professional outcomes.

The first part of the study plan (1st year) includes compulsory courses that provide solid foundations in the three main areas of financial accounting, management control systems, and corporate finance, as well as additional interdisciplinary business knowledge (such as commercial/tax law, data analysis, macroeconomic scenarios, and corporate governance) essential for completing the student's academic profile. A series of seminars for the development of behavioral skills completes the first-year program.

The second part of the study plan (2nd year) includes elective activities that allow students to personalize their study plan, directing it towards guided specialization paths ("concentrations") such as: Corporate Reporting, Business Planning, and Control; Business Advisory, Assurance & CPA; Corporate Financial Management.

Students have the option to choose a "free path" (especially for those who decide to undertake a study experience abroad) as long as the courses are consistent with the program's objectives.

Given the national characterization of some topics, the offer of electives includes some courses in Italian

The third part of the study plan (2nd year) includes:

  • a work experience (internship or similar activity);
  • two European Union languages: professional English as the first language for all students; the second language must be different from the mother tongue (Italian is mandatory for all non-native Italian speakers);
  • other elective educational activities aimed at broadening a wide-ranging culture;
  • thesis (written and oral dissertation) that significantly qualifies the educational path.

Study experiences abroad are particularly encouraged throughout the study program. International mobility is indeed a cornerstone that materializes in study and/or work experiences. The period of stay abroad can vary from one semester (exchange and free mover programs) to one year (double degree programs).
