International Economics, Management and Finance – (B.Sc.)

The process of European integration is substantially changing numerous fields, ranging from social to legal domains, from the business world to the economic and financial spheres. The competitive arena in which business is done is getting larger by the day: it is increasingly necessary to think and operate in not only European, but also international terms.

The Bachelor of International Economics, Management and Finance, which is entirely taught in English, enables students to understand and analyze these dynamics thanks to a solid preparation focusing on enterprises and public and private institutions operating internationally, and especially in the European Union. The program gives students an in-depth assessment of the structure of the economic and financial system from an international perspective, as well as helping them acquire the tools needed to evaluate the mechanisms which regulate the process of integration of regional economies at the economic, monetary, commercial, financial, and institutional levels. In addition, students can choose to major in Economics, Management or Finance in their third year.
