The graduate programme profile in Liberal profession and Tax Law aims to meet the training needs of a profession, that of the Chartered Accountant, which is increasingly more complex and characterised by a high degree of internationalisation, by developing the following technical and relational skills:

• advanced training in tax law, commercial law and accounting and auditing techniques;
• an integrated view of methodological, scientific and professional knowledge in these areas;
• the ability to apply the above knowledge in concrete cases.

In this perspective, an agreement was also stipulated with the Order of Chartered Accountants, which allows students interested in entering the profession of Chartered Accountant and Auditor, if they meet the entry requirements of the same,

1. to have the period of apprenticeship carried out during the last academic year recognised as a professional apprenticeship preparatory to taking the State Examination for the practice of the profession and
2. to take only two of the three written examinations normally envisaged for the above mentioned Examination.

The profile for Liberal Profession and Tax Law places great emphasis on the international aspect of the students' education and their future professional activity.

This focus on international profiles is expressed in various characterising aspects:

• The presence of two courses specifically dedicated to the international aspects of tax law;
• extensive use of international and Englishlanguage academic material;
• the possibility of extra-curricular internships abroad (e.g. at the European Commission and the IBFD in Amsterdam);
• the possibility of carrying out part of the research for the dissertation at foreign universities or research centres.

The apprenticeship period is an excellent opportunity for professional integration.

In recent years, students have been offered the opportunity to carry out internships in some of the most important professional firms in Italy (particularly in the field of tax law), or at auditing and consulting firms.

In most cases, the students were confirmed at the end of their training period, thus embarking on a partnership which continued after the completion of their studies.

The internship generally guarantees the student the possibility of receiving a contribution towards expenses from the professional studio in which the activity is carried out.

The MyMentor! project is particularly innovative in the provision of supplementary teaching services.

It allows each student to interact individually during a semester with a mentor (manager, consultant or entrepreneur), who is willing to guide him/her in understanding the dynamics of the world of work and in planning the first steps of the professional path.

The course accompanies the participants in the project in the acquisition of a greater awareness of their own professional skills and inclinations, up to the realisation of a self-assessment of their own competences.
