Faculty of Economics and Management

Our business is to carry out innovative research and train excellent economists who can understand and interpret the complexity of socio-economic and political processes in the 21st century.

More than 1,100 students are enrolled in our faculty, whose strength lies in its international outlook and the trilingualism - Italian German, English - of its study programmes, which prepare our students to operate in a global context. The ideal ratio of students and lecturers - more than 60 faculty members from nine different countries - guarantees that all students are supervised in every stage of their study career. Support to students is guaranteed by the limited number of students we select and by regular office hours. Each lecturer provides tutoring for no more than 8 students.

Our best students will be added to the Dean’s list. Appearing in this list can be an excellent asset when students apply for internships and jobs.

The faculty ranked among the top 200 in the 2023 Times Higher Education Business and economics subject ranking. In the national ranking of the Censis Institute, the faculty is ranked second among non-state universities in Italy for the bachelor programmes. In the Education Around ranking, the faculty's bachelor programmes occupy the first place in Italy.

Study Programmes

In addition to the regular lectures, our faculty offers a range of possibilities to gain theoretical and practical experience. The Research Seminars provide students with insights in the most current scientific developments in the field while during Microstories successful entrepreneurs talk about how they became who they are. Moreover, we organize the Tourism Management Club at the Bruneck-Brunico Campus and such events as the Startup Weekend or study trips.
