3 DIPARTIMENTO DI ECONOMIA E FINANZA ECONOMICS AND BUSINESS WHERE WOULD YOU LIKE TO WORK? MARCO DALL AGLIO COORDINATOR I am in charge of several math exams here in luiss. The coordination of the entire program of the Bachelor s degree in Economics and Business and of the exchange program with USE is a challenge on totally new grounds for myself. We are enriching the program with new initiatives. For instance, with the precious help of the Dutch Embassy in Rome, we just started the first Dutch-Italian Business Competition where students from both universities (luiss and USE) gather into teams to tackle business cases for the most important Dutch-based firms operating in Italy. THE MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO HELP FORM INDEPENDENT EUROPEAN CITIZENS WITH A SOLID ECONOMIC BACKGROUND AND A SINCERE VOCATION FOR MANAGEMENT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP. a Graduates can work for economic and financial institutions, businesses and public administrations, with positions commensurate with the three-year preparation they have attained. Most importantly, students can continue their studies with a Master program, both in Italy and abroad, with an important international experience already present in their CV.
