The bachelor’s degree in Business Administration (Economia Aziendale) at the department of Management (DiPSA) at the University of Bergamo is a three-year, full-time undergraduate programme that combines theoretical rigour with practical training in business, economics, law, digital tools and quantitative methods. 

The course is designed to equip students with the skills needed to interpret the dynamics of modern organisations, prepare for the job market, or continue their studies at master’s level. 

A flexible path with three curricula, expanding to four from 2025/26 

The bachelor’s degree in Business Administration currently offers three distinct curricula, allowing students to specialise in line with their personal interests and career ambitions: 

  • Administration and Control 
    Focuses on accounting, auditing, internal control systems and related legal and technical aspects. This curriculum is designed for students aiming for roles in finance, consultancy, or the liberal professions. 

  • Management and Business Management 
    Offers a strong foundation in business strategy, marketing, innovation and organisational processes. Ideal for students interested in careers in small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses, or international corporations. 

  • International Business and Financial Markets 
    Delivered partially in english, this curriculum explores international economics and finance, preparing students for global careers in trade, banking, and multinational environments. 

From the 2025/2026 academic year, the programme will expand to include a fourth curriculum taught entirely in english: 

  • Business Administration (english-taught curriculum) 
    This new track will provide students with a fully english-medium learning experience focused on international business management, strategy, accounting and finance. It will include applied project work, lab activities, and soft skills development, designed to support both local and international career paths.
