The degree programme lasts three years, attendance at courses is compulsory (at least for 50% of the scheduled hours) and is facilitated by a calendar of concentrated and non-overlapping lessons. Lessons are held in an ad hoc location, ensuring that students can be followed and monitored in a timely and effective manner.
In addition to the classroom teaching, there will be practical exercises in the various disciplines. Teaching is also enriched by interventions by company managers.
During the third year, there will be a curricular internship carried out in Italy or abroad, valid 16 credits (ECTS) and equivalent to no less than 400 hours, in companies in the tertiary and commercial services sector, which completes the knowledge and skills acquired in the classroom.
The internship is preceded by the attendance of a preparatory training course of classroom and distance learning. The topics covered lead to the acquisition of knowledge in three areas: the IT area (Data management with Excel), the organizational area (Fundamentals of Project management) and the area of safety and prevention of accidents in the workplace. These activities, which aim to create direct contact with companies in the tertiary sector, facilitate the students' entry into the world of work.
In support of this important training and youth employment project, the Unione Confcommercio Imprese per l'Italia - Milano Lodi Monza e Brianza, which is the representative body of companies that are engaged in commerce, tourism and services (Tertiary Sector) in the provinces of Milan, Lodi, Monza and Brianza, intervenes. The member companies are the main promoters of the Curricular Internships of this degree programme.
