IntroduCtIon

The Faculty of Economics is named after Federi-co Caffè, prominent Italian economist active in the second half of the 20th century, and aims to reflect some of his fundamental qualities: his willingness to students, his capability to inspire their enthusiasm, to-gether with his in-depth understanding of his times. All these virtues allowed Federico Caffè to make fun-damental contributions to the development of eco-nomics as a field of study and research.

In line with the intellectual legacy of Federico Caffè, graduates of this Faculty will be provided with the intellectual tools needed to understand the eco-nomic world around them together with the knowl-edge and skills necessary for a successful career in all fields: public institutions, private firms, associations, agencies or professional firms.

The Bachelor’s Degree Courses offer a wide range of curricula tailored to the needs of different profes-sional areas. Upon completing their Bachelor’s De-

6

gree (Laurea Triennale), students can progress into one of the Faculty’s Master’s Degree Programmes (Laurea Magistrale) in order to further reinforce and broaden their knowledge in some of the topics covered during the Bachelor’s Degree Courses.

Other academic opportunities offered by the Fac-ulty include 1st and 2nd Level Masters Programmes, Post-graduate Specialisation Courses and PhD Pro-grammes.

The Department of Economics and the Depart-ment of Management and Law all provide support to teaching activities.

With approximately 100 tenured faculty members and over 4,000 students enrolled in its Undergraduate and graduate Programmes, the Faculty of Economics of Roma Tre University is one of the most well-reputed Italian higher-education institutions for Economic dis-ciplines, thanks also to its extensive facilities and its modern scientific and educational equipment.

undergraduate Programmes1st CyCle degree Courses

Bachelor’s Degree ProgrammesThe Bachelor’s Degree provides students with

the necessary educational background to enter the job market, and also provides continuing studies with Master’s Degree Programmes (Laurea Mag-istrale) and/or other graduate studies 1st and 2nd

Level Master Programmes and Post-graduate Spe-cialisation Courses).

Two Bachelor’s Degree Programmes are available: • Economics (CLE)• Business Administration and Management (CLEGA)

Both these Programmes share a number of com-pulsory courses, while other courses vary according to the specific requirements of each Programme. In each Programme students can select the curricu-lum that best suits their educational needs, in line with their aptitudes and professional goals.

Entrance requirements-enrolment In order to enrol into the Bachelor’s Degree Pro-

grammes, students must possess a five-year sec-ondary school diploma or a recognised equivalent and suitable qualification obtained abroad.

Students who wish to enrol are requested to sit an admission examination divided into two sub-sections: ability to understand a written text and logical-mathematical ability. These skills will be evaluated separately in order to identify any weak-nesses in both or either of the two areas. The over-all score received will then take into account the student’s school curriculum.

Course organisationThe Academic year is divided into semesters (1st se-

mester: September-December; 2nd semester: February-June).

There are three exam sessions held during the year: - The winter session (January-February), held at the

8

end of the 1st semester classes, is divided into 3 exam sessions for courses taught during the 1st semester and into 2 exam sessions for all other courses

- The summer session (June-July), held at the end of the 2nd semester, is divided into 3 exam sessions for courses taught during the 1st semester and into 2 exam sessions for others

- The autumn session (September) is held imme-diately before the start of the first semester (2 exam sessions for all subjects) In September, the Faculty of Economics offers

a preparatory course in Mathematics in order to fill any initial gaps in students’ knowledge and en-sure a homogeneous level of ability among new students.

Additional certifications with no final grade• Language

Students are required to sit an English language test upon completion of a language course at the CLA (University Language Centre).

• Computer and information sciences

Students are also requested to pass a computer and information sciences test on the use of word processing, spreadsheets and data bases. In order to facilitate the acquisition of these skills, there will be practical courses held on these subjects at the Faculty’s Computer and Information Sciences Laboratory.

Personalised course choiceAt the beginning of their second year, students

will be able to request a personalised and individu-al study programme. The request will be evaluated by the Course Board (with an interview if neces-sary) within two months after submission.

Final examThe final exam is a written exam intended to

verify that students have achieved the aims of their Programme and gained the knowledge and skills expected from them.

Many courses combine traditional theoretical learning with the study and analysis of business case studies, with examples taken from numer-ous businesses and the creation of project work. Broadly speaking, the educational aim is to mould a student who is able to work in constantly evolv-ing market conditions, and should therefore pos-ses a modern and multi-disciplinary background. Professors are easily accessible to students and are, as a rule, interested in helping students resolve any issues they might have.

1ST LEvEL MASTER PROgRAMMES(2nD CyCLE POST-gRADUATE COURSES)

• human Development and Food Security. Learning Tools for Fighting hunger and Poverty (in English)

The Master in human Development and Food Se-curity (hDFS) was launched in 2003 with the spon-sorship of the World Food Programme of the United nations (WFP). The Master in hDFS aims to address a two-fold need:

15

1) To meet the needs and requirements of quali-fied specialists working for non-governmental or-ganizations, international organizations and bilateral cooperation organizations;

2) To meet the growing request for specific ac-ademic training in development cooperation for young graduates and individuals who wish to con-solidate their existing knowledge and improve their qualifications.

The Master’s is mainly based on the acquisition of tools for enabling graduates to contribute to fighting hunger and poverty. Its main objective is to: (i) teach methods for analysing and understanding problems associated with poverty and food security and (ii) provide students with a real «tool box» that can be used in different professional situations and socio-economical, political and environmental contexts.

dePartments The Department of Economics, with its multi-

disciplinary character, has been promoting re-search in the fields of both theoretical and applied Economics and Political Economics, as well as in the fields of Mathematics, Statistics and Law, since its establishment in 1993. All the economists who are part of the Faculty of Economics are affiliated with the Department, as well as economists from other Faculties, with a significant number of math-

20

ematicians, statisticians and jurists. The Doctoral School is divided into three areas: Institutions, Environment and Policies for Economic Develop-ment, Statistical Methods for the Economy and for Businesses, and Political Economics.

The Department works with the Interdepartmen-tal Research Centre for the Economy of Institutions (CREI) and is home to the “Piero Sraffa“ Research and Documentation Centre, The Manlio Rossi-Do-ria Studies and Research Association, the Econom-ics and Public Finance Research Centre and the Centre for Market Studies and Industrial Relations (Cesmer).

For further information on the Department of Eco-nomics visit the website at: http://dipeco.uniroma3.it/

The Department of Management and Law (SAEG) is a centre of expertise for legal, business and economic studies, established in 2002. The De-partment’s interdisciplinary nature is one of its most distinctive characteristics and the foundation for its ability to provide students, researchers and the busi-ness and institutional spheres with the ability to find appropriate solutions to fit their knowledge require-ments and educational needs.

The Department is connected to the Business Economics area and Consumers and Market area of the “Doctoral School of Law and Economics“.

Moreover, the Department is home to two Labo-ratories (the “Labourcoop” and the “Laboratory for the Study of Commodities”), as well as the “Moni-toring Centre for Market Regulation and Consumer Safety“, all of which stand out for the specific nature of the issues they address and their importance as bridges between the world of the university and so-ciety at large.

Tournaments and social events are organised throughout the academic year, and students are selected as representatives to participate in inter-faculty and inter-university competitions. The main sports activities are European football and A5 foot-ball, both men’s and women’s, but there are also other sports and recreational activities to take part in: tennis, volleyball, track and field, skiing, bridge, basketball and chess. Activity programs are sent out monthly to inform students about events and give them the chance to participate.

The Palladium Theatre Over the last few years, the theatre has succeeded

in bringing together a variety of different forms of expression and styles, developing a strong identity and becoming a reference point for both the Roman and national theatre scenes. Ever since its opening, it has hosted a number of important figures from the worlds of international performing arts and culture, and has also worked with a number of different cul-tural institutes. Its collaboration with the university is further strengthened by the regular presence of the Roma3 Film Fest and Dams Theatre on its playbills - two festivals devoted to young filmmakers from in-ternational film schools and from the students of the Roma Tre Performing Arts Department. All students enrolled at the Roma Tre University may take advan-tage of discounts for events at the theatre.

gettIng hereTransportation Links: The «Federico Caffè» Faculty

of Economics, located at via Silvio D’Amico, 77, can be reached by taking the Metro B Line either to San Paolo or Marconi, and is conveniently linked to the city centre and with Rome’s main attractions. From the nearby Ostiense Station, it is just a few stops on the train to reach the “Leonardo Da vinci“ Airport, servic-ing 164 different airlines, including a score of low cost companies, covering all the principal European cities.

lIFe around the unIversItyAround The University: The University is centrally lo-

cated in an ideal spot for sightseeing and for enjoying the city. A train for the sea leaves from the nearest metro station (San Paolo), offering the possibility to relax on the beach and also to visit the nearby archaeological site of the ancient city of Ostia. Between classes at the univer-sity, students can unwind in any of the parks around the Faculty, perhaps lying on the grass in front of the beautiful Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

Close by the University lies the Testaccio neigh-bourhood, where Romans have been coming for day outings and to while away their free hours for as long as the city can remember. Unlike other Roman neigh-bourhoods, Testaccio has managed to conserve its tra-ditional “folkloric“ atmosphere.

This area of Rome is one of the most popular for nightlife, with its vast range of bars specialising in aperi-tifs, dance clubs, cinemas and many theatres as well. By day, one can visit the MACRO Testaccio – Rome’s Mu-seum of Contemporary Art or the Testaccio Music School which, with its library and concert hall, also organises music classes for adults and children. The neighbour-hood’s streets abound with all kinds of shops and, in just a few minutes on the metro, one can reach viale Mar-coni, one of Rome’s most famous shopping streets. Just a short walk from the University lies via Libetta, where one can find the bars, nightclubs and dance clubs most pop-ular among students. A little further away lies Alpheus, one of Rome’s most famous dance clubs.

28

City Sport: The whole city plays host to a variety of sports events (tournaments, competitions, displays and events) throughout the year, involving entire neigh-bourhoods. The streets running through the centre are closed to traffic during the Rome Marathon, a competi-tion which is not only intended for true athletes but also becomes a kind of celebration for all thanks to ROMAFUN, a non-competitive 4-km run that people do with their friends or their dogs, or even on roller-skates. Another Marathon begins near the University and runs all the way to the sea. There are areas with golf courses as well, which offer a pleas-ant break from studying.

Eating: Italian cuisine is doubtless one of the most well-known and most well-loved in the world. Around the university one can find not only book-shops, supermarkets and shops of all kinds, but also many places where one can eat well at prices that won’t dent a student budget. Closer to the centre, there are many typical Roman “trattorie“ (family-style restaurants) to be found on the city’s narrow streets, illuminated by the lights of Rome at night.

Seven good reasons for studying with us:

1. Facilities: modern spaces and new equipment, with a cosy atmosphere to help you feel at home even in the larger context of Rome.

2. Location: Roma Tre is a metropolitan university. Students who choose to study here will have the chance to spend time in a unique international environment, enjoying all the social, cultural and educational opportunities that a city like Rome can offer.

3. Student-Staff relations: professors and other uni-versity staff are available to assist students as needed.

4. Personal development: the traditional teaching meth-od incorporates approaches based on experiential learning theories. Students may thus improve their aptitude for teamwork, their problem-solving abilities and their propensity for developing highly innovative projects and ideas.

29

5. Career: one year after completing their degrees, 58.3% of graduates (1st Cycle) have found employment, a percentage which is higher than the national average across all Faculties.(Source: AlmaLaurea2010)

6. International opportunities: students can take part in international experiences involving a large number of universities around the world, developing the necessary skills to establish themselves in international contexts.

7. Quality of life: Romans are happy to live in Rome, enjoying the beauty of its monuments, art and culture, its proximity to the sea and to the heart of Christian Catholicism, the educational and research opportunities it offers, its numer-ous sports facilities and its many large parks and green areas. The Mediterranean climate makes it easier to enjoy the city, its recreational and entertainment offerings and its history, especial-ly in the mild and pleasant spring and autumn seasons.

Above all, according to a study carried out by the European Commission in Brussels and the United Nations Justice Agency, Rome is among the top-ranked cities for safety.
