Bachelor of Science in Economics and Social Sciences (PPE) (Laurea di primo livello)


In an increasingly interdependent world one must be equipped with an analytical toolbox that cuts across disciplines. Our undergraduate programme in Economics and Social Sciences goes exactly in this direction. It offers an integrated and cross-disciplinary perspective combining a broad and rigorous training in economics with two other subjects, philosophy and politics. An Economics and Social Sciences student will get a thorough training in the principles of economics, learn about how political decision making can be explained, and gain a sound understanding of the philosophical grounds of economics and politics.

The Economics and Social Sciences programme is very well received by both our current and former students . We prepare our graduates for careers in public policy and public service, consulting, international organizations, and journalism with a focus on political and economic issues.Just as importantly, , the programme is an excellent preparation for postgraduate studies in any of the participating disciplines. Our former Economics and Social Sciences students have gone to very prestigious Masters programmes all over Europe.

The teaching in our programme is done in English, Italian and German. We expect a good level of English from our prospective students as the courses in the first year are mainly given in English. From the very beginning, students have the chance to  improve their knowledge of the other two languages,  attending classes in these languages mostly in the second and third year. Our multimedia and user-friendly language centre strongly supports the learning of those languages in which you students are not proficient.

We offer an international faculty with distinguished professors from places like Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, Ukraine, or Uruguay. In addition, we recruit contract professors expert in their respective fields from all over the world for our regular program and the summer courses. Prospective students are strongly encouraged to seek more detailed information on the study plans and the course descriptions.
