Individual subjects:

- Business & Management: 3rd in Europe, 7th world

- Accounting & Finance: 5th in Europe, 17th in the world

- Economics & Econometrics: 4th in Europe, 16th in the world

The ranking elaborated by QS, the international network dedicated to education and the professions, was created by evaluating four parameters: academic reputation based on the opinion of academics (94,000 worldwide); quality of graduates based on the opinion of more than 44,000 recruiters; research citations per paper and the H-Index, which measures the number and impact of research publications.

"It is always a great satisfaction to be confirmed, and to grow, in this comprehensive ranking covering different areas of our activity and to see that we are recognized both on the academic front and on the market (with the reputation among recruiters)," comments Stefano Caselli, Dean for International Affairs. "In the Social Sciences and Management broad subject area, it should be noted, we confirm our first place in continental Europe, below only the British universities LSE, Oxford and Cambridge".
