Multidisciplinarity and the promotion of interdisciplinarity, which characterize the PhD Programme in B&L, aim to train professionals equipped with the economic, business, and legal analytical skills necessary to contribute to innovation and the sustainability of governance processes, both in the corporate and public sectors. The PhD Programme, therefore, trains professionals with high-level and autonomous abilities to address the multiple and complex design and management needs of companies, organizations, and institutions. As a result, the professional profile is characterized by autonomous and cross-disciplinary competencies in research, analysis, and synthesis, enabling the examination of economic, managerial and legal scenarios, their evolving conditions (including those stemming from technological developments) and constraints, as well as current business opportunities, operational conditions, ex-ante and ex-post impacts of corporate or institutional policy decisions.
Thus, the profile of a PhD graduate in B&L is suitable for holding high-level research positions in both academic and managerial settings, within public and private entities, service companies (including financial services, utilities, and the third sector), industrial enterprises, and public administration offices. The main career opportunities for PhD graduates include research—at universities or public and private institutes—freelance professional practice, and positions in companies or other organizations, whether public or private, national or international.
