My studies at the PMS “Applied Economics”, thanks to the concentrated knowledge of a high level that it provides, to the care and high training of its teaching staff as well as to its excellent organization and management, was of key importance both for my teaching role and for my academic life and provided skills of great importance and superior quality. In addition to the opportunity it gave me to now join the Department’s doctoral candidates, it is of widely recognized value on the CV of each of its graduates, in an era of enormous difficulties in professional development and of an abundance of titles of dubious quality.
