Indeed, this makes learning more interactive and engaging, also making use of face-to-face meetings, live lectures, discussions and group projects, as well as debate meetings with partners such as Microsoft and Amazon. Flexibility, course materials and technology also contributed to the excellent ranking. Of all the variables contributing to this indicator, Rome Business School received a score +60% of the average MBA evaluated by the ranking.

On the second, the Quality of the faculty: expertise, professional experience and diversity of the faculty were particularly appreciated, along with the balanced ratio of faculty to students and the very high MBA completion rate (98%), evidence of the effectiveness of RBS’s academic strategy in guiding its students to the best of their ability in their professional and personal growth.
