Specific objectives: The educational programme is designed for students to acquire adequate understanding of the functioning of the modern economic and financial processes and systems. This acquisition primarily takes place through the knowledge of the tenets of the four subject areas characterising the degrees in Economics, viz. economic theory, business economics, foundations of public and private law and basic mathematics and statistics. In this sense the degree program provides general contents to students who will later be able to undertake professional activities requiring this type of skills. The objective is to train economists, capable of describing and explaining economic phenomena at system as well as at market level, with a focus on understanding the interactions between economics and finance. This professional will be able to operate as a middle manager both in the private and public sectors. With respect, in particular, to the interpretation of the phenomena, 1st cycle graduates in Economics and Finance will be able to use, on the one hand, the tools of financial analysis and the modern finance techniques, and on the other hand, the specific knowledge of public policy and applied economics issues, with particular reference to the phenomena related to economic and regional development. The course aims at providing students with the analytical and quantitative tools needed for modern economic analysis and, at the same time, the indispensable knowledge of the institutional issues influencing and driving markets dynamics. In this sense, graduates in Economics and Finance will be able to examine individual decision-making processes and to interpret systemic facts, also through the forecasting of economic and financial movements at the micro and macro levels. The structure of the degree course provides a large group of common teachings (two in the theoretical economic disciplines, at least one teaching more oriented to the regulatory aspects of economics, historical economics, general mathematics, at least two statistical subjects (of which one basic course), private law and public law, English language, computer science, a group of specific teachings directed to the financial analysis (other private law disciplines, monetary economics, financial mathematics, management of financial intermediaries, corporate finance) and another group of specific teachings related to applied economic analysis (in the area of regional economics, other social sciences, business system analysis). Possible differences between the training profiles justify the breadth of credits intervals within class specific economic and statistical-mathematical activities.
