The relationship with the world of work is one of the strengths of the course, which carries out numerous activities to encourage constant contact between students and companies, consulting firms and professional offices.
Managers, auditors and chartered accountants are involved in all courses, bringing their own experiences to the classroom and involving students in the practical analysis of business cases and project work.
In addition, specific seminars are organised on pivotal accounting and governance issues, to which both students and professionals are invited.
Already in the classroom, particularly in the second year, students are involved in recruiting initiatives and thus have the opportunity to liaise with the world of work even before they graduate.
The posters show some of the many events organised for ADA.
