Why choose this programme

The degree programme in International Management, which is entirely in English, produces experts in the management of private and public companies, from all sectors, capable of dealing with the challenges and opportunities linked to the profound transformations of the national and international socio-economic scenario.

The main objective of the course is to accompany students in the development of a wide range of advanced skills in the main areas of Management studies, providing them with the tools to operate effectively in the current market environment in which multinational companies, or those companies aiming at internationalisation, compete. 
Such an environment is characterised mainly by two factors. First, great uncertainty, due to rapid changes in demand, technology, and institutions in the countries where companies operate. Secondly, the current context is one in which companies, both large and small, have to compete globally.

The degree also delves into the strategic planning processes associated with the dynamics of international corporate openness, and provides conceptual and analytical tools for problem-solving and decision-making in management at the corporate, business and function level.
The learning is based on a 'learning-by-doing' approach with dynamic and engaging activities: you will carry out several project works and interact with the protagonists of the business world and institutions during the course of the lectures.

The course offers the possibility of obtaining a double degree with European and non-European business schools, such as Universität Hohenheim (Germany), ESCP Europe-Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris-Europe (France), The University of Adelaide (Australia), University of Reading – Henley Business School (UK), and Skema Business School (France).

Double degrees are study courses with an integrated curriculum, which involve an educational programme designed with other foreign universities, and therefore a period of study and examinations at the partner university. After the final examination, two degrees are awarded, one by Ca' Foscari University and the other by the partner university. This type of academic course normally involves the 1st year of attendance at Ca' Foscari and the 2nd year of mobility at the partner university.

Each year, the Management Department also offers various international study and mobility opportunities such as the International Short Programmes in the summer, in partnership with foreign universities.
