What it is

The degree pairs core business and finance with newer fields: data science and analytics and the use of artificial intelligence in business. Typical courses in a degree of this kind include accounting, corporate finance, economics, marketing, law, mathematics and statistics, with a multidisciplinary approach throughout. Theory is tied to practice through links with local companies in Brescia and the wider business community, and the focus is on small and medium-sized firms. Graduates are prepared for careers in both local and international business settings.
