Master’s Degree in Accounting, Governance and Sustainability

The Master's Degree in Accounting, Governance and Sustainability is offered by the Department of Business, Economics and Quantitative Methods of the University of Bergamo and is taught entirely in English. It comprises about 12 exams, project work, workshops, business testimonials and a final thesis, with subjects in accounting, control, corporate governance, ESG sustainability, legal aspects and mathematical-statistical analysis. 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, is worth 120 credits and is taught in person in Bergamo. Internships in Italy and abroad are planned, along with a double-degree opportunity with the University of Dundee in the United Kingdom.

The aim is to train professionals able to respond to the new challenges of globalisation and the sustainable transition, with skills in accounting, governance, ESG and international soft skills. Career outcomes are control, administration, finance and consulting roles, as well as access to the State examination for chartered accountant and statutory auditor. 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.
