Overview
The Master of Science in Accounting and Financial Management, taught in English, explores a wide range of topics in the fields of accounting, financial management and management control, providing you with cross-disciplinary and high value-added knowledge. The program will enable you to play a significant role in the digital and sustainable transformation of companies, while also developing your skills to cultivate an international vision.
Based on a “concentration” structure – able to accommodate the diverse inclinations of each student – the program is designed to equip you with solid accounting and financial management knowledge. This prepares students for a variety of career paths, either inside the firm – as top employees – or acting as business advisors. Our graduates’ expertise gravitates around financial and sustainable corporate reporting; corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and financial restructuring; risk analysis and management; and management control and performance measurement.
Teaching leverages on a combination and iteration of methods, balancing theory with applied learning and data analysis: lectures, class discussion and press analysis to understand management models, algorithms and methodologies; case studies, videos and guest speakers from the business community to visualize and scrutinize organizational complexity; finally, simulations to improve data analysis, interpretation and decision making.
The MSc features highly interdisciplinary courses and close contact with the best professionals in the field. It is highly valued by employers that, also thanks to a wide-ranging network, guarantees excellent graduate placement.

To describe our program in a nutshell: it is forward-looking, open to innovation, international and employer-oriented.
