The Law and Economics of International Finance program at the University of Bologna is overall very good. The courses are well-organized, the professors are knowledgeable, and the content is highly relevant to the current global financial and legal environment.
However, one major issue we faced is that compared to other departments, our program offers fewer exams. While this might seem like an advantage initially, it actually makes it harder for students — especially those who need to collect enough credits for scholarships. Since many of us joined the classes late, it became even more challenging to clear the necessary credits on time.
Another serious problem is accommodation for international students. It is extremely expensive and very difficult to find housing, adding a lot of stress during the academic year.
Additionally, ER.GO should consider that in our course, students are allowed to take only 5 bonus credits, which is not enough. Given the limited number of exams and our need to secure scholarship credits, it would be helpful if ER.GO could revise this policy or provide more flexibility for our program.
Overall, I am giving the program 4 stars because of its academic strength, but withholding one star due to the difficulties around exams and credit requirements.
