Students will learn to integrate financial models, firm-specific as well as industry and economic factors in their decision-making process. In this programme, students will have access to meetings with highly qualified speakers from areas such as the financial industry, internship programmes in major Italian and international financial institutions, and exchange programmes in European and American universities. The degree is accredited by the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst).
