Business Administration

At the end of the educational program, graduates are able to apply theoretical knowledge to specific real-world contexts related both to functional business areas—such as sales and marketing, administration and finance, management control, and human resources management—and to various production sectors, including private and public enterprises, manufacturing and service companies. They are also able to operate across different disciplinary fields, such as legal, statistical-mathematical, and general economic areas.

This goal is achieved through a teaching approach—particularly in the second and third years—that combines classroom lectures with examples, practical exercises, and business case studies or guest lectures from industry professionals.

At the end of the course, graduates will have acquired post-secondary level knowledge in the field of economics and business management. In particular, they will be familiar with:

• The main models used to represent the functioning of business processes;
• The main models used to represent the functioning of the markets in which companies operate;
• The main models used to represent and solve business decision-making problems;
• The main mathematical and statistical techniques for formalising and representing decision-making algorithms;
• The main legal institutions that constitute the reference context for public and private companies.

At the end of the course, graduates will also be able to:

• Understand the specific language of business economics and other disciplines integrated into the course;
• Describe orally and in writing the mechanisms of how a company works, its reference markets, the main decision-making issues, the main legal institutions, and the main models for representing and formalising decision-making problems;
• Critically discuss what they have learned, providing arguments to support their thesis.

This knowledge is developed mainly through theoretical lectures, particularly in the first year. Individual study is an indispensable tool, complementary to classroom lessons, through which students  continue to learn. Oral and written exams at the end of each course are also an important opportunity for discussion and review of what has been learned. The final report, which completes the training programme, is a further opportunity to develop knowledge and understanding of a specific topic, in this case through an independent process supervised by a tutor.
