Why enrol 
Global Accounting and Finance

The Master's degree programme in Global Accounting and Finance, which is taught entirely in English, aims at providing a solid background in the topics of finance, control and international accounting, integrated with sustainability and digitisation, for the training of professional and managerial figures capable of interpreting a dynamic and supranational economic environment and responding to the most evolved needs of the labour market through a concrete endowment of tools and methods.

The aim of the degree programme is the development of skills in strategic planning, corporate reporting, management control, financial policies, and investment strategies, which enable the rational management of organisations and a profound understanding of the financial markets, which are undergoing profound changes globally due to the digital transformation and the focus on the sustainable dimension of human action. 

In fact, the course intends to combine the indispensable knowledge and skills required for optimal strategic, administrative and financial management with the evolutionary trends that significantly influence business operations, namely the sustainability of processes and the use of digital technologies and data analytics.
