What will you study The Management Program is centered on highly relevant and timely topics such as innovation, digitalization, sustainability, globalization, and networking. Throughout the program, the core business courses explore the main drivers of change that are reshaping how companies operate and how management is understood. Key areas of focus include: business management, particularly in an international and constantly evolving context, strategic governance issues, the principles, techniques, and tools for managing key processes and functions such as marketing, human resources, sustainability (CSR), operations, supply chain, and procurement. The aim is to train graduates who are able to integrate into organizations with a clear understanding of their managerial and organizational dynamics. The program is complemented by courses in economics, statistics, mathematics, and law, providing essential analytical and regulatory foundations to understand markets, interpret data, and make informed managerial decisions. In addition to theoretical instruction, the curriculum includes hands-on, career-oriented learning experiences such as Project Management, Entrepreneurship, Start-ups and Business Plans, International Contract Law, and Cross-border Operations. These activities promote a strong entrepreneurial mindset and encourage the practical application of acquired skills. Particular emphasis is placed on developing soft skills — not only taught but actively practiced — that are essential for teamwork, effective communication, and navigating complex, dynamic environments. To further enhance graduates’ employability, the program offers numerous opportunities to engage directly with the professional world, even beyond the standard academic curriculum. One of the standout initiatives is the annual mentoring program "Management Students in Business", designed to guide students in shaping their career paths and to prepare them more consciously for entering the workforce. Thanks to an interdisciplinary approach that combines business, economic, quantitative, and legal knowledge, the program equips students with the skills and vision needed to tackle the managerial and strategic challenges that today’s organizations must face. After graduation Today more than ever, companies are not just looking for professionals with solid expertise in management - they seek individuals who can recognize, interpret, and anticipate change, constantly updating and evolving their knowledge. This ability to adapt and engage in continuous learning is built on a strong theoretical foundation: the more solid the fundamentals, the more effectively skills can be updated and applied in new contexts. Professional competencies are developed through a combination of theoretical knowledge (“knowing that”) and practical know-how (“knowing how”), complemented by behavioral skills (soft skills), which are increasingly valued in the job market. The Program addresses both the technical and interpersonal dimensions through targeted and complementary courses designed to develop well-rounded professional profiles.

Their profile fits various contexts, thanks to the versatility of the skills they acquire. Moreover, launching new ventures is an increasingly attractive path for Management graduates interested in entrepreneurial careers. Read testimonials from some of our graduates Giulia Ciarapica, Corporate Communication Officer, Italmatch Chemicals My university education had a solid foundation with a three-year degree in Business Administration, which gave me the fundamental tools to understand how organisations work. Subsequently, I chose to delve deeper into these topics with a Master's degree in Management from DIEC, University of Genoa, where I started to develop a strong interest in marketing, business processes and cross-functional dynamics. During my Master's degree, I had the opportunity to work on real business cases in collaboration with companies, an experience that made the link between theory and practice tangible. My thesis, written abroad at a communications agency, explored process management in the service sector, an area that is still little researched. This project represented a direct bridge to the world of work: thanks to a university collaboration, I found my first job in the communications sector in Genoa. In this reality I grew professionally, covering roles such as Social Media Manager and Audiovisual & Event Manager, working in close contact with top management. For the past year I have been Corporate Communication Officer in a multinational chemical company based in Genoa, where I manage a team and am part of the middle management. The common thread linking my studies and career is the constant focus on processes, strategic communication and cross-functional collaboration, elements that have guided my every choice and professional growth. Nicolò Crovetto, Indirect Procurement, Hitachi Rail STS SpA The university course in Management allowed me to develop strategic and practical skills, but above all to learn to think critically. In particular, it has enriched my vision and approach in facing work challenges. Along the way, I have felt particularly akin to some disciplines more than others, but each, in some way, has left me with something precious, both in terms of theoretical knowledge and personal growth. Among the many training proposals I received during my university years, one of the most interesting was certainly the ADACI Campus: a course dedicated in particular to purchasing management and the supply chain. The programme covered several key topics such as purchasing strategies, digitisation, negotiation, and more, combining theoretical insights with a very practical approach through case studies and real simulations. It was a perfect complement to the Operations Management teaching. The combination of topics between the two activities allowed me to delve into this world in a more concrete way. This experience offered me a more transversal and comprehensive view of the professional world, helping to better prepare me for my entry into the world of work. Sonia Di Natale, Marketing & Communication Manager, Leonardo Automation My university experience was extremely educational and allowed me to study various disciplines that are spendable in the working world, including human resources, marketing, organisational change and supply chain management. These courses provided me with a solid theoretical and practical foundation, allowing me to have a wide range of choices once I graduated, and to identify the discipline that best matched my character. The management courses gave me transversal knowledge that is very useful in today's companies. With this knowledge, I felt confident and prepared to face the challenges of today's business world. One aspect that I particularly appreciated about the course was the opportunity to participate in optional programmes, such as Erasmus, purchasing/sales simulations and group work in collaboration with Université Côte d'Azur (UCA) and much more. These experiences helped me to develop greater confidence in presenting my ideas and in my abilities, aspects in which I previously felt less confident. In conclusion, I feel that this degree course is all-round complete and truly offers countless outlets in the world of work. Thanks to this training, I felt ready to embark on a professional career with a solid background behind me. And today, almost 5 years after my Master's Degree in Management, I can confirm that the course of study I chose has been extremely useful for my career. Leonardo Barcellini, Global Commodity Manager Fedrigoni Group The Master's degree course in Management was an extraordinary experience that allowed me to acquire the necessary skills to enter the world of work and to discover my passion for innovation and Procurement. I had the opportunity to come into contact with different industrial realities, working on projects in teams and to study a semester abroad through the Erasmus programme, one of the most enriching experiences of my career. Stefano Bavestrello, Consolidated Financial Statements, ERG SpA If I had to describe the Management degree course with one word, it would be 'awareness': this course has allowed me not only to consolidate the foundations of my preparation, but also to open up to the world, confront the expectations of businesses and strengthen my critical knowledge and sensitivity to the main current socio-economic issues, while providing me with tools to understand the growing relevance of crucial issues such as innovation, sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Finally, I must acknowledge that what made the difference for the professional I am today were the numerous practical opportunities offered by this Course: group projects, real case studies, testimonials and projects actively involving companies and professionals, which allowed us to concretely apply the notions learnt.
