The Department of Economics and Statistics (DISES) at the University of Naples Federico II has a long tradition in training students interested in pursuing a career in academics, policy institutions and the financial industry. The Department currently offers a BA and a MA in Economics, a BA and MA in Finance, a MSc in Economics and Finance (MEF) and a PhD in Economics. Both the MEF and the PhD programs are entirely English-taught. Faculty members work on all major areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, finance, statistics and mathematical economics. The Department also hosts the Center for Studies in Economics and Finance (CSEF), with which it is fully integrated in research and graduate teaching. |
