Bachelor's Degree in Economics and Management
The BA in Management Studies and Economics is a challenging programme enabling students to combine their studies of management with a particular focus on economic issues. This three-year degree course focuses on understanding economic phenomena from all their different perspectives so that the graduates will obtain the necessary knowledge required by he national and global job market.
The undergraduate degree programme explores issues that are crucial for the world we live in: how the economy and organisations work, and how resources are allocated and coordinated to achieve the objectives that are set. Economics and management are ideal intellectual partners, each one being particularly suitable to strengthen and cross-fertilise the other. Economics provides the broader understanding of economic activity within which all organisations work; management, in turn, analyses the character and goals of that functioning. The first two years include courses in economics, management, math, law and statistics so as to provide students with a solid foundation for the third year. Depending on the profession they would like to enter, students can then choose, in the third year, specialised courses to further increase their knowledge in the areas of marketing, finance and economics.

Competencies expected from Bachelors in Economics and Management
· Understanding of the foundations of Management and Economics through an introduction to the following basic subjects:
· political economics, microeconomics, macroeconomics,...
· main roles in business: accounting, finance, marketing,
· legal, societal, and human environment of organizations
· methodological tools (mathematical modeling, statistics, )
· Ability to critically apply learned knowledge to real situations observed in a simple field situation and/or in a transversal context
· Ability to summarize and communicate the knowledge acquired and the observations made
· Ability to integrate management decisions into their economic context (mixed training)
The Undergraduate Degree Course in Economics and Management provides students with the necessary skills needed to successfully enter the labor market/workforce, and be considered for hiring by private firms and public institutions with a European orientation and scope. The potential positions open to graduates of this program, further enhanced by their future educational choices, include:
- Firms, both in the private and public sector, active in the European market;
- Financial intermediaries;
- EU-level and other international institutions;
- Regulatory agencies and consultancies;
- Consulting companies;
- Research centers and think-tanks.
The Undergraduate Degree Course in Economics and Management also equips students with the necessary technical and methodological skills that will aid them in continuing their education at the master's level in both business and economics., after checking the adequacy of personal preparation.

Employment statistics (Almalaurea)
Admission to the degree programme requires applicants to have a high school diploma or an equivalent suitable qualification from abroad.
To be admitted to the course students must sit an examination to check their linguistic-communication capabilities, in addition to taking an online test (TOLC-E) organised by the Consortium of Interuniversity Integrated Access Systems (CISIA). Subject knowledge for admission will be deemed acceptable if the scores in the selection band have been achieved.
Students whose score is lower than the value stated in the selection band, limited to the area of verbal comprehension, will be assigned an additional learning obligation (OFA), which must be met and approved within the first year of the course.
The University organises specific tutoring support for the successful completion of the OFA. Additional information is available on the University study portal of the Faculty of Political, Economic & Social Sciences.
If students fail to satisfy the OFA within the required timescale, the following year they will be unable to sit the examinations for the years subsequent to the first year.

English OFA

To be able to sit the English examination stipulated in the curriculum, students must have level B1 English as defined by the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (QCER). This level can be confirmed as follows:
- by sending a level B1 or higher language qualification certificate gained no more than 3 years prior to the date it is submitted (for a list of language qualifications accepted by the University, visit the University portal at https://www.unimi.it/it/studiare/competenze-linguistiche/placement-test-test-di-ingresso-e-corsi-di-inglese). Certificates must be uploaded at the time of enrolment, or at a later date on the portal at http://studente.unimi.it/uploadCertificazioniLingue;
- by sitting a placement test set exclusively by SLAM during the 1st year, between October and December. Students who fail the placement test must follow the courses delivered by SLAM.
The placement test is compulsory for all students who do not have a valid qualification.
Students who do not sit the placement test by December, or do not pass the final test after 6 attempts, must obtain the qualification at their own expense, during the year in which the language examination is scheduled.
The degree in Economics and Management offers the opportunity to study at several European universities, where students will be able to attend lectures and obtain credits for their degree.
Our partners are selected among the most prestigious academic institutions in United Kingdom (University of Leicester), in Spain (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Universidad de Barcellona, Universidad de Salamanca, Universidad de Oviedo e Universidad de A Coruna), France (Université de Cergy Pontoise), in Switzerland (Université de Fribourg), and other European countries.
The modules offered by our partners include core subjects and disciplines of Economics and Management such as Management, Economics, Accounting, Marketing.
The choice of modules is made by students before their departure in collaboration with the programme coordinator; the credits are recognized officially and included in the curriculum at the end of the exchange period.
