“At Rome Business School we are aware of the fact that higher education in the contemporary panorama is too static and oriented towards theory, it rarely provides truly effective training: this is what we want to change! To do this, we encourage teachers, staff, students and alumni to be agents of change themselves. We are committed to creating the managers of the future, prepared to bring the world into the era of modernity and progress. Our main focus is to bring students, entrepreneurs, managers and professionals to a level of excellence in their skills and ethical approach to business and work; our aim was to train students so they can make a difference, achieve their goals and make their dreams come true by enriching the business world with innovation and new ideas. Just like a family, Rome Business School offers to the students a practical learning method and network opportunities through placements, social and cultural activities, career coaching sessions, practical experiences and a multicultural environment.
