Master’s Degree in Economics and Strategies for International Markets

The Master's Degree in Economics and Strategies for International Markets is offered by the Department of Economics and Finance of the University of Bari Aldo Moro. The main subjects include political economy, international economics, business law and management, with a focus on foreign languages and ICT technologies. Two curricula are available: a national one and an international Erasmus Mundus one. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The course lasts two years and is taught in person with online supplementation, in Bari. The language is Italian for the national curriculum and English, with B2 level required, for the Erasmus Mundus one. Internships and placements are offered as a practical component, with a placement service.

The aim is to train experts in international economics and market strategies, with analytical skills in internationalisation processes and skills for global roles in companies and international institutions. The career opportunities are international market analyst, international trade consultant, international economist, international sales manager and international marketing expert. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
