Economics and Law

Dean: Prof. Marco Allena

The Faculty of Economics and Law is located within two university campuses located in an area rich in culture and beauty, food and wine and musical traditions. The campuses are characterized by large green spaces, the presence of residential areas for the reception of students, and the existence of numerous initiatives for leisure and socialization. The geographical origins and educational backgrounds of the students of the Faculty of Economics and Law are very different. This heterogeneity, in addition to representing a great cultural richness, is a strong stimulus for comparison and exchange of experiences.

The mission of the Faculty of Economics and Law is to provide value-creating education, support activities aimed at the advancement of students and society, and design research at local and international scope. It is rooted in the Piacenza-Cremona area but open to the world.

Mission Statement

The values that inspire university life on the campuses are those of seriousness and commitment to study, merit, "teamwork", sharing, solidarity, confrontation and passion for continuous self-improvement.

In short, an environment where it is possible to respond to one's deepest needs, at a crucial moment in people's lives, reconciling the quality of study and the quality of interpersonal relationships.
The Faculty offers distinct and autonomous degree programmes in Economics and Law, but also offers some highly interdisciplinary courses. Students can choose their degree path and customize their study plan with the aim of developing general and basic skills, combining them with those that over time they will find more responsive to their needs, but always within a wide choice strongly demanded by the job market.
Economics courses and degree programmes aim to develop managerial and professional skills in the areas of administration, strategy, marketing and sales management, finance, human resource management and sustainability.

The courses and degree programmes in the legal class are structured in such a way as to offer qualified training for access to the legal professions and for entry into the world of business, institutions, international organizations, and associations.

There are two important characteristics of faculty courses: internationalization and internship experience.

All courses offer the opportunity to develop study and internship experiences abroad with the Exchange, Summer Program or Focused Programme Abroad, Exchange, ISEP network, Study Abroad, Double Degree at graduate and undergraduate level, International Thesis Scholarship, Internship Abroad.

The contents of the teachings and programmes of the Faculty of Economics and Law are up-to-date and consistent with current issues in professional and managerial contexts, developed through intense scientific research carried out by the Department of Economic and Social Sciences and the Department of Legal Sciences, as well as by important applied research centers specialized in various thematic areas: the Study Centre dedicated to the world of banking and finance issues (BANKS), the Research Centre for Change in Public Administration (CECAP), the Research Centre for Entrepreneurial Development (CERSI), the Centre for Economic and Monetary Policy (CESPEM), the Laboratory for Local Economies (LEL), the Research Centre for Retailing & Trade Marketing (REM Lab) and the Research Centre active in the field of Responsibility, Ethics and Sustainability in Management (RES.m HUB)
The activity of the Research Centres and Departments, in addition to representing an important resource for improving the quality, updating and involvement of managers and professionals in the field of teaching activities, contributes to promoting the employment of graduates in the world of work even during the course of study.

I believe that the contemporary university, while it has the duty to collaborate for the progress of the sciences and to follow the methodology required by each of them, must never put in second place what requires the recognition of its primacy, that is, man, the human person, the world of spirituality
