The Laurea Magistrale in Economics, held entirely in English, provides an advanced level of education in economics. The course structure and level of study of the LM correspond to what is offered in the international academic arena as part of an MSc in Economics course. The command of knowledge, tools, and techniques of analysis acquired in this programme allows both the continuation of studies to start a career as an economist, and employment as an economic analyst or with functions of responsibility in companies, banks and public and private institutions, and international organizations. The LM draws on the disciplinary skills available in the Department of Economia Politica e Statistica, with its long tradition of research and teaching at the graduate level (the Department has been running a renowned doctoral program in Economics for decades).
