University of Turin

What you'll study

This three-year programme covers the fundamentals of business and management through a mix of theory and applied practice. In Year 1 you typically study introduction to economics, principles of management, business law, basic accounting and quantitative methods. Year 2 builds on these foundations with intermediate courses in financial accounting, managerial economics, marketing, organisational behaviour and statistics for business. Year 3 focuses on advanced topics and specialisation options such as corporate finance, strategic management, international business, entrepreneurship, supply chain management and elective modules in areas like digital marketing or sustainability.

Throughout the degree you will encounter a blend of lectures, seminars, case studies, group work and computer-based exercises. The programme normally includes a period of work placement or internship with local companies, and a capstone element — either a supervised project, consultancy assignment or final dissertation — that allows you to apply learning to a real business problem.

Entry requirements

Admission is based on possession of a recognised secondary school leaving qualification equivalent to the Italian diploma. Applicants must demonstrate adequate preparation in quantitative subjects and general aptitude for business studies. Specific requirements commonly include:

• a secondary school diploma or recognised international equivalent;
• evidence of proficiency in the language of instruction (Italian proficiency is required for programmes taught in Italian; some modules or tracks may require English skills);
• for international applicants, certified translation of qualifications and any required recognition by Italian authorities where applicable.

Selection procedures may include evaluation of academic records and, in some cases, an entrance test or interview. Applicants should consult the University of Turin admissions pages for the precise documentation required and any preparatory or conditional pathways if language or subject gaps are identified.

Career prospects

Graduates leave with a broad set of skills relevant to private and public sector organisations. Typical entry-level roles include:

• business analyst or management trainee in companies across sectors;
• accounting and finance assistant roles in corporate or financial institutions;
• marketing coordinator, sales support or product assistant positions;
• human resources or operations support roles;
• roles in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), family businesses and start-ups, including junior entrepreneurship.

Many graduates also continue to specialised postgraduate study (master's degrees in management, finance, marketing or international business) or professional qualifications. The programme’s combination of theoretical grounding and practical placement opportunities helps graduates move into professional roles or further academic study.
