“Great place for those that value quality education”
Elena G
Italy, Graduate
Business Studies, 2020
OverallPisa University is historically known for its STEM field courses and also has a great economics and management department.
I personally attended the bachelors "banca finanza e mercati finanziari"(BFMF) program and then the two year "banca, finanza aziendale e mercati finanziari"(BFAMF) program which is considered the natural continuation of BFMF course.These programs focus on economic and financial theory.A great focus is placed on the financial management and evaluation of firms, risk management, financial models, monetary theory and markets.
The professors of the courses I have attended are generally very competent and available for further more in depth explanations of the subjects they teach .We have carefully selected compulsory courses (regarding Mathlab use for finance, financial evaluation subjects, financial EU law etc.) and are then able to freely choose subjects that interest us most. The courses offered are great for those who truly enjoy studying finance.

Try to find whether the university still provides special housing for foreigners. It is so cheap you will scream of happiness. The "mensa" is the cheapest way to eat, very, very, very close to eating at home.
