Postgraduates

Postgraduates in Economics, Markets and Management will be able to hold high responsibility managerial positions, nationally and internationally, in both public and private sectors. Job opportunities include positions within private and public firms, public bodies, international organisations, private and public research centres, consulting firms, non-profit organisations and professional agencies. The degree course is also aimed at training students to become self-employed professionals able to combine the traditional skills involved in the business and management consulting with an understanding of both markets and other related fields of expertise. Furthermore, the Department cooperates with the Ferrara Professional Association of Chartered Accountants and Bookkeepers and, therefore, our graduates, prior to a period of apprenticeship and the passing of the professional practice examination, can also find jobs in this field.
