Moreover, the Master’s flexibility allows working students to follow classes remotely outside of working hours. As I am currently completing an internship as a HR Specialist for PagoPA S.p.A., this was the perfect formula for me to obtain a Master while working.

I would definitely recommend RBS to other students. I consider that overall experience of having so many spaces to share with professionals who have common interests and objectives greatly enriches the learning beyond the academic knowledge that you take with you.
