It is divided into five different curricula that are highly thematically specialised. All teaching in the third year is differentiated according to the chosen curriculum, with the exception of the Business English examination, which is compulsory for all.

The 5 curricula

Curriculum in Business Administration (CLEA) develops subjects related to the administrative functions of companies, as well as providing the specific skills to pursue the path of the liberal professions.

Curriculum in Economics and Finance (CLEF) provides expertise in the field of financial intermediation and financial markets (banking, insurance, credit institutions).

Curriculum in Economics of International Markets (CLEI) delves into the characteristic topics of import-export activities and presence in foreign markets, as well as the typical issues of international economic-political institutions.

Curriculum in Economics and New Digital Technologies (CLED) provides knowledge and skills on one of the most important and debated topics of our time: the impact of the digital economy on the way we do business, on the traditional economy and more generally on our society.
 

The Economics and Management of sustainable food chians - CLEMFAS degree course represents an innovative initiative in the Italian university landscape, in which managerial culture is integrated with technological and scientific contributions with the aim of producing qualified managerial figures, able to interpret and manage the problems of the agri-food systems with skill and competence.

The course originates in the heart of the Food Valley and brings together the tradition of scientific research and accreditation of the three Departments involved - Economics and Business Sciences, Chemical, Life and Sustainability Sciences, and Food and Drug Sciences - in the extraordinary context of agricultural enterprises, production, distribution, quality certification bodies, and catering that characterise Italy's agri-food system.

The student will thus be able to rely on an interdisciplinary pathway centred on methodological aspects and basic knowledge that is not subject to rapid obsolescence, on the constant exchange between the context of companies of excellence and that of research and advanced training, as well as on the transversal nature of the skills required for the management of complex and highly-structured processes.

It is divided into two highly specialised curricula. All teaching in the third year is differentiated according to the chosen curriculum.

- The Food Management Curriculum delves into the main topics related to the management of agri-food systems and supply chains, from a value creation perspective for products, with particular reference to cultural and sustainability aspects.

- The Food Science Curriculum develops the knowledge and tools to understand the agri-food product in its organoleptic components and to provide guarantees of health, safety and quality, while respecting environmental, economic and social sustainability.

The Course aims to train professionals with interdisciplinary skills that combine theoretical and empirical knowledge of a cultural, as well as economic-managerial nature of the agri-food system, with technological and gastronomic skills related to the enhancement of food in a strict logic of environmental sustainability. This is a continuation of the cultural pathway already started in the First-cycle degree L-18 (Food System: Sustainability, Management and Technology) and L-26 (Gastronomic Sciences) at the University of Parma.

The training pathway focuses on subjects from different subject areas that include: the disciplines of an economic-business, sociological and commodity nature, in order to understand and be able to apply economic theories and forms of management of agri-food enterprises in the procurement, production, processing, marketing and promotion phases of food production and environmental systems.

Marketing activity has increasingly taken on a dual configuration: that of Consumer Marketing and that of Trade Marketing. The first refers to marketing strategies oriented towards the final demand (consumer), while the second refers to marketing strategies oriented towards the intermediate demand (commercial distribution).

With this in mind, the Second-cycle degree course in 'Trade and Consumer Marketing' (TRADE) was created in 2005 to train specific skills for the management of companies' market policies. TRADE has become the first Second-cycle degree in Italy in terms of specialised coverage of the different aspects of marketing, with a range of 11 marketing classes, numerous workshops and free lectures dedicated to frontier aspects of marketing. In order to communicate this variety of content to Italian students, the degree course has abandoned its old name of 'Trade Marketing and Commercial Strategies' and is now called 'Trade and Consumer Marketing'. For everyone, it remains and will always be 'TRADE'.
