Study in Rome: Business, Student Life and Career Context

A unique experience in Italian culture and excellence

Studying in Rome with Rome Business School means taking your master’s programme in Italy’s capital and living the city beyond the classroom. Our campus is in Prati, a central district of Rome, close to the historic centre, to companies and to the city’s institutions.
We combine Rome’s cultural heritage with an international community and a practical approach to business, so the city becomes part of how you learn.

Why study business in Rome?

Rome is Italy’s institutional and business capital, and we treat it as an extension of our classroom. The city and the wider Lazio region are home to companies and organisations in life sciences, aerospace, digital innovation, logistics and the green economy.

If you study management, marketing, finance or innovation here, you see first-hand how organisations operate across very different sectors. Rome is also a leading destination for congresses and international events, which bring professional communities together throughout the year.

The Heart of European Luxury

In Rome, luxury meets fashion, design, hospitality, food and culture. The city’s historic streets and contemporary brands show how heritage, creativity and customer experience shape premium positioning.

For our students in luxury and fashion management, Rome is a real-world case study of the sector and of how it speaks to international clients.

A Global Economic Powerhouse

As Italy’s capital, Rome hosts three United Nations agencies: the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP).

The city is also part of a regional economy that includes advanced manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, aerospace, research and logistics. Studying with us in Rome means learning where business, public institutions and international markets meet.

Cultural and Sporting Capital

Rome’s calendar is full all year round: major exhibitions, concerts, theatre and international sporting events. Museums, theatres and live venues sit alongside sports clubs and competitions, so you can experience both the city’s creative economy and its everyday life.

Green Spaces and Sustainable Living

Parks and gardens are part of daily life in Rome. Villa Borghese and Villa Doria Pamphili are ideal for a walk, a run or a break between classes.
Across Lazio, sustainability and green innovation are a growing part of the business landscape, and a theme you can explore further in our sustainability programmes.

Why study in Rome?

Rome gives you a rare combination: a historic city, an international student community and direct access to Italy's institutions and industries.
