Born and grown in a region with a strong international vocation, the two-year Master's degree (MSc) in International Economics and Business (IEB) aims to train post-graduate students in the fields of International Economics, International Business, and International Law.
The MSc is entirely taught in English in Vicenza, a close-by subsidiary of the University of Verona.
Verona is the top European freight village.
Vicenza is the second Italian province for total export and the first in terms of per capita export.
In such an area, many Small and Medium Enterprises - very open to international markets, i.e., they are referred to as 'pocket-size multinationals' - operate with a core specialization in the 'well-done' and 'well-designed' sectors that form the backbone of the 'Made in Italy' label.
Among the main topics of the MSc courses are the followings: causes and consequences of international trade and development; macroeconomic dynamics of open economies and international financial markets; export, offshoring and outsourcing decisions by heterogeneous firms and their participation into global value chains; international marketing and logistic decisions; networks and groups of firms as means for firm internationalization; consolidated reporting, performance analysis and cost accounting; international and European law; international business law.
The MSc in IEB is a unique combination of courses, project work and other learning experiences purposely split between International Economics and International Business.
Students' active participation in classroom seminars and project works is strongly encouraged.
Every year several foreign teachers are invited to give lectures on special parts of the MSc courses.
The training is then strengthened with structured internships in firms actively engaged in international markets and with a thesis to be completed under the supervision of a faculty member.
We strongly support participation into Erasmus+ program, and we have working agreements with many partners both in Europe and worldwide.
Last, two Double Degree programs - with the University of Bordeaux and with the University of Bamberg - are fully operative, enabling up to ten students to participate in such programs.
