The Bachelor of Science in Economics and Finance provides a multidisciplinary education centred on knowledge of economic and financial systems and the institutions that operate within them.
The course is divided into two curricula: the general economics curriculum, which focuses on national and international economics, the environment, health and labour; the financial economics curriculum, which is oriented towards the world of finance and its players: intermediaries, financial market operators and sector supervisory bodies.

In-company training placements in Italy and abroad are planned. Teaching is complemented by workshops and classroom testimonials by figures from the worlds of business and finance. Numerous academic cooperation agreements are in place with foreign universities for the purpose of study or internships.

The world of economics and financial markets is undergoing rapid and profound transformation and needs operators capable of interpreting and anticipating change. The Economics and Business degree course trains professionals capable of understanding this complexity, through the study of the dynamics and players of the economic and financial system and its components: markets, intermediaries and financial instruments.

The course is divided into:

• a first core of basic teaching (the same for all three-year degree courses in the Department of Economics), intended to provide a solid preparation in four disciplinary areas: economics, business, quantitative and law
• a second core of characterising and specialised courses, to provide a level of specialisation suitable for entering the world of work in a qualified manner or for continuing studies. The courses are divided into two curricula: the general economic curriculum and the financial economic curriculum
.

Much emphasis is placed on languages, with compulsory teaching of English and the possibility of further study of other foreign languages: French, German, Spanish and Chinese culture.

The course is completed by compulsory teaching of computer science, a series of other professionalising activities, work placements in companies and the opportunity to participate in the Erasmus+ programme.
