Finance Track

The two-year program balances solid theoretical training and in-the-field application: with new computational labs, updated contents in various courses and a new Climate Finance Lab, you will be provided with all the skills required to meet the needs of the new job market. 

The Finance track features: 

  • several options for specializing your curriculum through various concentrations
  • the opportunity to apply to Exchange or Double Degree programs
  • behavioral soft skills seminars focused on Public Speaking, as well as round tables with Alumni already working in the field, to enhance knowledge of the job market and employability
  • the chance to take some electives in Italian

To reinforce the international background of our students, several study abroad opportunities are available, including Double Degree Programs – which will allow students to study at two top business and economic schools and receive two diplomas, one from each University – or shorter Exchange programs – which will allow students to study abroad for one term at a top partner university.

Study Plan

In the first year, you will be provided with the fundamental concepts of Finance through core courses and seminars that all feature highly interactive methods and are largely based on individual work as well as teamwork.

In the second year, you will complete your study program by choosing a concentration or a free track and, if you are interested, apply for a study abroad experience. You will also take part in a compulsory internship – in Italy or abroad – study foreign languages, and discuss your thesis to develop your research abilities.
