Corso di laurea triennale - Area di Economia - Numero di posti programmato a livello locale (D.M. 270/2004) - Classe L-18 ed L-33
Lingua del corso: Inglese
Informazioni generali
Descrizione e obiettivi formativi:
Il Corso, interclasse, è erogato interamente in lingua inglese.
Il Corso forma laureati dotati di competenze adeguate ad affrontare percorsi di laurea magistrale internazionali e/o favorire il loro inserimento lavorativo nelle imprese, società di consulenza, studi professionali e pubbliche amministrazioni. Questo obiettivo è realizzato attraverso due curricula, che privilegiano rispettivamente
1) un'ottica legata alla formazione di competenze aziendali e manageriali;
2) una prospettiva diretta allo sviluppo di competenze a carattere economico.
Il Corso è articolato su tre anni, con un piano di studi che prevede un biennio di formazione comune, un terzo anno di formazione specifica e una dissertazione finale. E' prevista la possibilità di svolgere attività esterne con tirocini formativi presso aziende e organizzazioni pubbliche e private nazionali e internazionali.
I laureati sono in grado di rivestire:
1- ruoli tecnici richiedenti competenze sul management delle imprese nazionali e internazionali utili a individuare e risolvere
problemi specifici in ambito aziendalistico, secondo un'ottica sistemica coerente con un ambiente organizzativo internazionale e/o multinazionale;
2 - ruoli di lettura e interpretazione dei fenomeni micro e macro economici, rispetto ad una prospettiva di dinamiche di mercato e istituzionali e sia di fenomeni reali attualmente prevalenti nell'economia internazionale.
I laureati in Business Administration & Economics:
- conoscono metodiche di analisi e di interpretazione critica delle strutture e delle dinamiche di azienda, mediante l'acquisizione delle necessarie competenze in più aree disciplinari: economiche, aziendali, giuridiche e quantitative;
- possedere una conoscenza delle discipline aziendali, che rappresenta il nucleo fondamentale, declinata sia per aree funzionali (la gestione, l'organizzazione, la rilevazione), sia per classi di aziende dei vari settori (manifatturiero, commerciale, servizi, della pubblica amministrazione);
Sbocchi professionali:
Il laureato acquisisce le competenze appropriate per l'interpretazione e la gestione di contesti competitivi, caratterizzati da rapidi processi di innovazione tecnologica. Tale laureato può quindi bene inserirsi come operatore in imprese multinazionali e nelle PMI innovative, con le qualifiche, tra l'altro, di analista di settore, business developer ed esperto in strategia aziendale, consulente d'impresa, technology auditor, manager dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale, esperto in trasferimento tecnologico.
Attraverso un'offerta didattica fortemente interdisciplinare, il Corso prepara anche figure professionali in grado di operare nell'area della consulenza aziendale, in particolare, nell'ambito della libera professione, come esperti contabili o come consulenti del lavoro. Un facile inserimento va evidenziato, altresì, nelle aree gestionali d'azienda, in particolare in quelle operative, di controllo e in quella delle risorse umane.
I curricula in lingua Inglese rafforzano i profili di cui sopra in chiave di supporto all'internazionalizzazione dell'attività dell'impresa, quando questa risulta essere nazionale.
Punto di forza e, allo stesso tempo, tratto caratteristico dell'offerta proposta è quello di rispondere operativamente all'esigenza di una formazione solida per figure professionali di tipo intermedio in grado di essere inserite nei centri decisionali organizzativi pubblici e privati a livello internazionale.
