Peer tutoring

First-year students will be supported through a personalised tutoring aimed at welcoming them and guiding them in their educational path. Each student will be assigned to a peer tutor, who, for example, will assist them in organising their study activities, in choosing courses to attend or with general questions about student life at unibz.

Exchange programmes and internships

Currently, we offer exchange programmes with partner universities all over the world and we are part of a large network of collaboration with employers in Italy and abroad. This study programme involves a compulsory internship lasting a minimum of 150 hours.

Career opportunities

Most of our graduates choose to continue to postgraduate study, in Italy or abroad, with a Master programme in Accounting, Banking and Finance, International Management or similar fields. Thanks to a 4+1 Programme agreement with the New York University's Business School, our graduates will be given favourable consideration in the admissions process to gain a Master of Science in Accounting.

Thanks to the practical approach of this programme, many graduates decide to look for a job straight away in various sectors of business: some in accounting, others in business consulting.

The international approach of the programme, our teaching methods and studying in three languages open doors towards a career in top management of private and public organisations in Europe or around the world.

This programme prepares students to sit the State Examination to gain access to the Italian National Register of Chartered Accountants, sector B of the register.

Verena Bonetti

Junior Product Manager, Oberalp-Salewa, Bolzano

Ho scelto il corso di economia e management per sviluppare competenze trasversali in modo tale da rispondere alle esigenze del mercato odierno. Ho scelto unibz perché ho potuto espandere quelle conoscenze in 3 lingue, sfruttando un clima internazionale e accompagnata da un’infrastruttura che fornisce molteplici servizi. Non è stato semplice e le sfide sono state numerose, sono già passati degli anni ma ancora oggi sono convinta della mia scelta! Particolarmente significativa è stata la mia esperienza Erasmus in Canada, alla Lethbridge University, così come le esperienze lavorative: il tirocinio da Marzadro e quello post-laurea da Miele Italia. Inoltre, il mio coinvolgimento per 3 anni nello SCUB, l’associazione sportiva studentesca di unibz, è stata un'esperienza altamente formativa perché ho potuto sviluppare varie tipologie di soft skills e comunicazione, ho imparato cosa vuol dire fare parte di un team e come motivarlo, come organizzare al meglio il proprio tempo e le proprie risorse.
