The main aim of the university is to combine the theoretical learning with real-world applications, in order to better define the career path of talented students who are potential future leaders.

Luiss utilizes three approaches in the design and the development of its programs:

·       Research-led: faculty members are experts of and actively engaged in their research areas

·       Experience-based: Luiss relies on a selected pool of top executives and chartered consultants to teach topics that they experience in their day-to-day work

·       Problem-driven: programs require student to engage in project works and researches, in which they are expected to develop solutions to real-world problems.


Luiss also offers students a variety of learning opportunities to develop and refine soft skills, to better shape their profile, such as leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, public speaking, relational abilities, ethics, responsibility and sustainability.

Thanks to the international academic partnerships, Luiss offers Exchanges and Double Degree programs with prestigious international universities located all over the world.
