The interclass master's degree program in Data and Methods for Economic and Financial Decisions (DECIFRI) offers advanced training focused on data analysis and the application of technologically innovative quantitative methods to support complex decisions in the economic and financial fields.
The educational path integrates interdisciplinary knowledge in economics, statistics, mathematics, finance and law, allowing graduates to model economic, real and financial phenomena, and to interpret and manage complex and risky scenarios. Particular attention is paid to economic policy decisions, the historical and prospective evolution of economic systems, the regulation of financial and insurance systems and intermediaries and the measurement of financial, pure, technological and environmental risks.
The degree course integrates the skills of the LM-16 class and the LM.56 class, in accordance with the growing demand for specialists with transversal analytical and operational skills.
Graduates acquire in-depth skills in the analysis of financial markets, in the management of risks and financial products and in the construction of decision-making models for financial and insurance intermediation. Thanks to advanced logical-methodological tools and the use of innovative teaching models, graduates are able to face the challenges of economic development and growth dynamics in global and interdisciplinary contexts.
The course represents an opportunity to delve deeper into the topics covered in the curricular path started with the three-year degree course in Economics, Finance and Innovation and also offers a solid foundation for undertaking further post-graduate training courses (master's, doctorate, etc.).
The degree course includes a common path in the first year and two teaching paths in the second year: one of a financial nature, for the student who opts to obtain the master's degree LM-16 in Finance, and the other economic for the student who opts to obtain the master's degree LM-56 in Economic Sciences

All three-year graduates in Economics can enroll in the master's degree. Those who have another three-year degree must have acquired 60 CFU in the various disciplinary areas provided for in class L 33 R, i.e. business, economics, mathematics-statistics and law.
The verification of personal preparation will take place through an oral exam that the student will take with a commission appointed for this purpose by the Department composed of 3 professors and which will aim to ascertain the possession of individual knowledge of the participants in microeconomics, macroeconomics, general mathematics, statistics, business economics. Following the test, students deemed suitable by the commission will be able to enroll.
