The survey I would present has been carried out in 31 different Bachelors and 23 Masters in 32 Italian Universities. These courses were selected because their programs are composed at least by 30% by subjects that fall into the two Macro-sectors 13A ‘Economics’ and 13C ‘Economic History’ as identified by the latest dispositions by the Ministry of Education, University and Research in 2015. The disciplines and related codes with which they’re identified are: SECS-P01 political economics, SECS-P 02 economic politics, SECS-P 03 science of finance, SECS-P 06 applied economics, SECS-P 05 econometrics, SECS-P12 economic history, SECS-P 04 history of economic thought.

The analysis of these courses was threefold: first we looked at the courses’ web pages and the presentation of the single teachings and gathered information and data on the coverage of different and various schools of thought, other than the neoclassical economics. A deeper analysis was conducted then on the teachings, especially on the courses’ material (books, articles, videos…), lecture style (frontal, presentations by students, debates…) and type of exam (written, oral, exercise questions…). Lastly, a survey was shared among the students of these courses to tackle matters as how they see the economics courses, what they think of the matters discussed in the classrooms, how they feel about the teaching and what is their general perception of the received education.
