Educational goals

The Master's Degree Course in 'International Business and Entrepreneurship' (MIBE) aims to train professional figures equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to best manage the internationalization and innovation processes in companies, including the challenges of digital transformation.

MIBE therefore offers a solid interdisciplinary preparation, mainly including managerial teachings, but also guaranteeing economic, legal and quantitative foundations. Significant attention is also assigned to the valorisation of digital technologies in a strategic-organisational key. Furthermore, in order to attract prepared and motivated foreign students, further developing the internationalization objective of the Department, which already makes use of mobility and double degree programs with various renowned European universities, the degree course is held entirely in English, examining in particular the international aspects of economic and business disciplines.

Furthermore, specialized courses are planned. In general, the basic courses are accompanied by a series of courses aimed at analyzing microeconomic and macroeconomic issues relating to the international context (international economics, analysis of emerging markets) and industrial economics, also with reference to contexts characterized by a high degree of innovation technological.
