Didactic methods

In order to encourage students’ learning ability, the course adopts an integrated approach that combines theoretical lessons, practical applications, discussion of case studies and analysis of a consolidated financial statement. The course includes also some seminars with representatives of groups of companies.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam consists in an individual written test on the whole program and aims to verify the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired. It includes three questions: one exercise on consolidation accounting and two semi-open questions that might be theoretical and/or practical. The exam lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes and evaluated in thirties.
A team-work provides students with maximum 3 points. The analysis of the structure, governance, and performance of a group of companies is required. The team-work aims at assessing the capability acquired in performing and discussing a meaningful group analysis, both at a technical and an interpretive level. Furthermore, the capabilities will be assessed, both individually and collectively, in making judgments on the group performance, in communicating with the group members and in written and oral communications.

Students who cannot take part in the team-work will be assessed through the written test only.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

The questions are structured in such a way as to verify the level of knowledge of the different parts of the program. Evaluation tends to ascertain this level of knowledge and the ability to apply this knowledge to practical situations.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

Each question is marked in thirties. The final grade is computed as the average of the marks obtained in the three questions. However, the student must answer at least sufficiently each one of the three questions.
For the team-work, a maximum of 3 points are assigned, which are added to the mark obtained in the written test, provided that the latter is passed.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to be admitted to any teaching activities, including those of your choice, you must be enrolled in the academic year in which the activities in question are offered. Students who are about to graduate in the December and April sessions are therefore advised NOT to undertake extracurricular activities in the new academic year in which they are not enrolled, as these graduation sessions are valid for students enrolled in the previous academic year. Therefore, students who undertake an activity in an academic year in which they are not enrolled will not be granted CFU credits.

Graduation

The final exam consists of a paper in written form of at least 80 pages, exploring a topic of the student's choice relating to one of the subjects in the student's syllabus. The topic and title of the paper must be selected in agreement with a university lecturer from one of the SSDs included in the student's syllabus. The work must be developed under the guidance of the lecturer. The thesis is the subject of an oral presentation and discussion in front of a Degree Committee on one of the dates established explicitly in the calendar of teaching activities. In agreement with the Supervisor, the thesis may be written, and the discussion may take place in English.


Internships

The curriculum of the three-year degree courses (CdL) and master's degree courses (CdLM) in the economics area includes an internship as a compulsory training activity. Indeed, the internship is considered an appropriate tool for acquiring professional skills and abilities and for facilitating the choice of a future professional outlet that aligns with one's expectations, aptitudes, and aspirations. The student can acquire further competencies and interpersonal skills through practical experience in a work environment.
