Tuition fees are 331 EUR per year.

Business management covers the principles and practices used to organize, direct, and coordinate the resources of a company or organization. This bachelor's programme in Business management is taught in English at the Universita degli Studi di Messina, in Messina, Italy, and runs for three years, with open admission. Students in this field typically study accounting, marketing, organizational behaviour, and business strategy, along with coursework in economics and quantitative methods that support business decision-making. Coursework often covers how businesses plan operations, manage human resources, market products and services, and evaluate financial performance, giving students a broad foundation across the core functional areas of a company. Many programmes also introduce topics such as entrepreneurship, international business, and the use of data in business decision-making, reflecting the range of skills needed to manage organizations of different sizes and in different sectors. Case-based learning is common in business management education, with students analyzing real or simulated business situations to practice decision-making under conditions of limited information and competing priorities. Graduates of business management programmes pursue careers in areas such as marketing, human resources, operations, sales, and general management, working across industries including manufacturing, retail, finance, and services. Many continue their studies with a master's degree to specialize further in areas such as finance, marketing, or international business, while others move directly into managerial or analyst roles. The broad, practical training developed in this field is applicable across a wide range of organizational settings, from small businesses to large multinational companies. Based in Messina, in Sicily, students in this programme are part of Italy's southern university system, and the English-medium format together with open admission is intended to support an international student body.
