Abstract

Summary The need to match academic education with the ‘know how’ required by the labour market may give birth to both co-operation between universities and enterprises, and to ‘flexible’ academic curricula. Students can choose from a wide range of University degrees, and within each program can choose the applicative field/major and opt for a short work experience, the internship. The feedback from the university-enterprises interaction may be observed in graduates’ job opportunities, since they constitute the third pole in a triad of changing relationship. The case of the Faculty of Statistical Sciences at the University of Milan — Bicocca, in the academic years from 1998/99 to 2002/2003, allows one to identify patterns in undergraduates’ educational strategies and poses questions as to the relationship between academic knowledge, individual expectations and actual experiences at work.
