Economic and Social Sciences
Overview
This program provides a solid foundation in quantitative methods and economic theory: graduates will develop the ability to interpret the economic and social processes that are typical at all stages of development.
Its main strength is its wide-ranging interdisciplinarity, achieved through both flexibility in the selection of electives and the organization of ad-hoc events. Students will be able to customize their study path considerably, depending on their interests and their scientific research areas.
Students will also benefit from close interaction with faculty and research centers at Bocconi, with the possibility of being involved in research projects in economics or other social sciences. They also have the opportunity to choose from several PhD-level Bocconi courses as electives.
Career opportunities are mainly focused in professions with strong research content within corporations, international organizations, public or private research centers, consulting firms, regulatory authorities, central banking, other professions requiring strong analytical skills within consultancies and financial institutions, as well as professional academic careers in the areas of economics, statistical analysis, economic history, social sciences and applied mathematics.
Antonella Trigari
This Master of Science is rooted in the tradition of Bocconi, with a unique blend of economics focusing on quantitative methods such as mathematics and statistics, and excursions into the broader field of social sciences.
Program flexibility allows strongly customized and interdisciplinary curricula to be built. Students enroll in this program with the objective of fine-tuning their analytical skills and of acquiring knowledge to be able to pursue an international career. This is facilitated by the international experience of our Faculty, and by the support students receive from Bocconi for exchanges and internships. About one third of our graduates work in the sector of banking, finance and insurance. About another third work in other firms or the public sector and international organizations. The remainder of our students continue towards a PhD or further training in academia.
