Master[BE] is a post-graduate program, sponsored and organized with the contribution of Fondazione Cassamarca and UniCredit Group, which aims to provide a technical and practical understanding of the European banking system and of the multifaceted relationships between banks and business communities. The objective of the program is to create new, highly qualified professionals with a command of the knowledge essential to bank and business management.
The business school Master[BE] offers a successful method of studying the European banking system including the relationships between businesses and financial environments. The program concentrates mainly on two areas, banking and entrepreneurship, as these areas especially represent the most important factors in all economies. The program is particularly focused on the situation of the Eastern Europe. IT allows young students from New Europe to obtain better knowledge of entrepreneurship philosophy (for example the business environment in the Italian North East) and typical standards for operating in the European banking sector in general.
