Educational objectives

In line with the curricula of the Faculty’s course programmes, the B2 English course is aimed at developing both written and oral skills in the academic and professional subject areas relevant to the student’s own specialized, undergraduate fields of study. Course activities make extensive use of audiovisual materials and computer-mediated aids. In particular, this focus on English for specific purposes is placed in a socio-cultural context, in which intercultural variables and the significance of English as an academic and professional lingua franca are explored: students will therefore encounter a large variety of texts produced in a wide range of contexts of use.

B2 - Can understand conversations, extended speech and interviews in English and can follow most discussions providing the topic is relatively familiar. Can interact with a level of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction quite possible, with a degree of accuracy, independence and clarity.
Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of study. Can obtain, organize and record in writing information, ideas and opinions from specialized and semi-specialized sources.

Educational objectives

The course provides the fundamental practical and methodological skills for data analysis in an economic and business context, using the R programming language. Starting from acquiring the operational skills to use the RStudio environment, students learn to manage the entire data workflow: from importing and cleaning datasets to exploring data through descriptive statistics, and finally to creating effective visualizations. The strongly applied training path guides students in organizing data into appropriate structures (vectors, matrices, data frames), calculating summary measures (central tendency, variability, percentiles), selecting and transforming variables, and graphically representing information through histograms, boxplots, bar charts, and scatterplots. The goal is to develop an analytical mindset and the autonomy needed to tackle simple yet concrete descriptive analysis projects, laying the groundwork for learning more advanced statistical techniques.

Educational objectives

The course introduces the most common IT tools for economic and business analysis (basic statistical software, spreadsheets, databases), with a practical and case-oriented approach.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• use spreadsheets in advanced ways for data processing, simulations, and graphical representations;
• organize and manage economic and business datasets, ensuring consistency and quality of information;
• apply basic functions and tools for descriptive analysis and data exploration;
• integrate IT tools into key analytical tasks to support business decisions.
