At Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", the tuition fee is 1,051 USD per year.

Economics and Finance is a bachelor's degree taught in English at Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza" in Roma, Italy, completed over three years. The field examines how individuals, firms, markets, and governments allocate scarce resources, and how financial systems channel savings into investment. Foundational coursework generally includes microeconomics, which studies the behavior of individual consumers and firms, and macroeconomics, which looks at national income, inflation, unemployment, and monetary and fiscal policy at the level of whole economies. Mathematics and statistics form another pillar of the curriculum, providing the quantitative tools used throughout economic and financial analysis, while econometrics introduces methods for testing economic theories against real data. On the finance side, students typically study corporate finance, financial markets and institutions, and the pricing and risk characteristics of financial instruments such as stocks and bonds. Courses on banking, accounting principles, and international economics often complete the program, giving graduates a rounded view of both the theoretical underpinnings of economic behavior and the practical workings of financial markets. Because economics and finance graduates possess analytical and quantitative skills applicable across many industries, common career paths include roles in banking, asset management, corporate finance, consulting, and public policy, as well as further graduate study in economics, finance, or related quantitative fields. Delivered in English at an Italian university, the program also gives international students direct exposure to European economic and financial contexts alongside their core coursework.
