Located in the eternal city of Rome, Luiss is an international university specialized in the fields of social sciences, providing a diverse learning environment based on entrepreneurship, responsibility and sustainability. At Luiss, we inspire and enable a better world, believing that social sciences play – and will continue to play – a central role in the emerging digital society.

Since its founding, Luiss has developed privileged relationships with the business community, through its affiliation with Confindustria, the General Confederation of Italian industry, as well as with legal studios, government institutions and civil society. Luiss has also forged special relationships with European and Italian institutions, thanks to the numerous faculty members that have served within them.

The Luiss educational model combines academic rigor with practical relevance. Its main features are: I Research-led: Luiss faculty members are top experts in their fields, actively engaged in their research communities as well as in their professional and management communities. I Experience-based: Luiss relies upon a highly selected pool of top executives, chartered consultants and diplomats to discuss topics they experience systematically. I Problem-driven: our programs require students to engage in projects and research, in which they are expected to develop solutions to real-world problems.

The Luiss model is strengthened by a life-large learning approach which challenges students’ intellectual curiosity, inspires individual effort and self-discovery and encourages independent and critical thinking.
