Quantitative methods: Haeusserl E. F., R. S. Paul, R. J. Wood, Introductory Mathematical Analysis for Business, Economics, and the Life and Social Sciences, 13th edition, Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, 2010. Chapters: 0-6, 10-14.

Students with foreign qualifications are expected to meet requirements equivalent to the minimum ones required from students with an Italian degree. Fulfillment of these prerequisites will be verified by a special committee appointed by the Didactic Committee.

In addition, applicants must meet one of the following requirements: 1. be English mother tongue; 2. have obtained a high- school diploma in English; 3. have obtained a Bachelor's or other first-level university degree in English.
Students who do not meet any of the requirements listed in points 1, 2 and 3 must have a B2 level or higher in English, according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). For an overview of CEFR levels, please see: https://www.unimi.it/en/study/language-proficiency/placement-tests-entr… . The certification must be uploaded when submitting the online application.
When English level is achieved during a University of Milan degree program and certified by the University Language Centre (SLAM) no more than four years before the admission application date, the process is automatic; the applicant does not have to attach any certificates to the application.

Students meeting the above requirements will be invited to an online interview (conducted in English). The interview is designed to assess their background, knowledge, competencies, and skills in the core areas of the EFE program..
