The economy and the business world are constantly evolving and becoming more global. To succeed in this environment, it is not sufficient to know a certain number of facts but it is essential to understand how the economic and business systems function and transform themselves. The Bachelor’s degree in Economics and Management aims to provide students with a set of tools and skills that will allow them to operate effectively in the face of future economic developments. To reach this goal, the programme offers a thorough training in the principles of Economics and the various areas of Business Administration as well as a sound understanding of the legal issues which are related to them.
 
With its strong international perspective, and its trilingual delivery the Economics and Management programme prepares graduates for managerial positions in private or public organisations, whether in the South Tyrol region or anywhere else in Europe or in the world. With this scope in mind, the period of internship which is part of the programme gives the students some experience of a real work environment. The equal emphasis on economic and management is aimed at providing professionals with a broad perspective. It also constitutes an excellent preparation for graduate studies in any of the two disciplines. Several of our former students have gone to very prestigious Masters programmes all over Europe.
 

The teaching is done in English, Italian and German. Prospective students are expected to have a minimum knowledge of all three languages, but intensive language courses are available to help students reach an adequate level, if necessary. Moreover, during the first two years of the programme students will improve their language skills through intermediate and advanced language courses and by attending regular classes in all three languages. The University offers additional support for language learning with its very active Language Centre. The international outlook of the programme is further ensured by the presence of permanent professors from Germany, Italy, Austria, Ukraine, Canada and Uruguay, among others. Some of the courses of the regular programme as well as the Summer Courses are given by contract professors who are experts in their field and who come from all over the world.
