Master’s Degree in Economics and Commerce

The Master's Degree in Economics and Commerce is a two-year course of the University of Naples Federico II, offered by the Department of Economics and Statistics. It adopts a multidisciplinary approach that integrates economic, legal and quantitative knowledge, with the aim of training highly qualified economists able to hold managerial roles in the public and private sectors, in the social economy and in international bodies. The integration of economics, law and quantitative methods reflects the fact that economic decisions are made within a regulatory framework and require statistical tools. The course prepares economists able to analyse complex problems in public and private contexts and to propose solutions based on data and on an understanding of the rules.

The study plan is worth 120 credits and includes up to eleven exams between compulsory and optional ones, seminar activities, laboratories, internships and the final thesis, to which 21 credits are assigned. Three curricula are available: Economics and Law, Sustainability and Development, and Data Scientist for Economic Decisions. The course takes place in person in Naples. The language is not declared and is presumed to be Italian. Internships are provided, but the page notes that no collaborations with leading companies are evident. The three curricula offer different directions: Economics and Law, more oriented towards the legal dimension, Sustainability and Development, devoted to environmental and social topics, and Data Scientist for Economic Decisions, centred on data analysis. The limit of eleven exams leaves room for seminars, laboratories, internships and the thesis, which is worth 21 credits, a considerable weight.

The career opportunities indicated include public bodies, private companies, research offices, national and international bodies and public administrations, as well as access to second-level masters, to doctorates and to the profession of chartered accountant.
