University of Turin

What you'll study

This programme provides a balanced curriculum combining economics, quantitative methods and business management with a particular emphasis on accounting and control systems. In the early years you study foundational subjects such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, business law, company organisation, mathematics and statistics. Core business modules typically include financial accounting, managerial accounting, corporate finance, marketing, operations management and organisational behaviour.

As you progress you encounter specialised courses focused on control and reporting: management control systems, budgeting, cost analysis, tax law basics and corporate governance. Applied modules often cover econometrics, data analysis for business, information systems for management and auditing. The final year usually offers opportunities for advanced electives, a practical internship with a company or public organisation, and a final project or dissertation that integrates technical and managerial knowledge.

Entry requirements

Admission normally requires a recognised secondary school leaving certificate that permits access to university in the country of issue. Applicants should demonstrate competence in mathematics and basic economics or business subjects from secondary studies. Since the programme is delivered in Italian (or may offer some courses in English), you must meet the university's language requirements for the language of instruction; international applicants will need to provide certified language proficiency or follow an authorised pathway for language assessment.

Typical application materials include academic transcripts, identification documents and a personal statement. The university may require an entrance assessment, interview or additional checks on prior qualifications for some applicants; prospective students with foreign qualifications should consult the University of Turin for recognition procedures and any preparatory requirements.

Career prospects

Graduates from this programme are equipped for a range of positions in both the private and public sectors. Common entry roles include junior accountant, financial analyst, management controller, internal auditor, business analyst and marketing assistant. The focus on control and reporting makes alumni particularly suitable for positions in corporate finance departments, accounting firms, consultancy practices and public administration.

Many graduates continue to specialist postgraduate study (for example in accounting, finance, management or auditing) to pursue professional qualifications or senior roles. The degree also provides a solid foundation for entrepreneurship or for roles in industry sectors important to the Turin area, such as manufacturing, automotive supply chains and services.
