RBS gives me a fresh AIR of knowledge, inspiration and connection with people from around the world

My experience has been great because the program is very flexible. The classes are online and international, which makes it easy to join from anywhere. If you miss a class, you can watch the recording the next day, which is very helpful.

I also really enjoyed the bootcamp because it gave us the chance to meet the teachers in person and connect with other students. The communication is clear and the learning experience is very engaging ( online classes by groups).

The location of the University in Rome is fantastic, and hotels and restaurants are amazing. The teachers are very knowledgeable, supportive, and cooperative, which makes the learning environment very positive. Now I am an alumni and I continue to grow with RBS by attending bootcamps in different countries. It is an amazing opportunity to keep learning, meeting new people, and expanding your experience.

This is especially valuable if you are over 40 and already have an established life and career. RBS gives you a fresh breath of knowledge, inspiration, and connection with people from around the world.

I am currently enrolled in a Master in HR and Ogranization

I am currently enrolled in a Masters degree in HR and Organization with RBS. At the beginning of the studies, it was challenging to navigate my way through the blackboard and understand it fully, knowing that the RBS team had conducted a full on orientation session with students on how to navigate through the platform, however, when you start the Masters it takes time to fully grasp on the platform and the system, however once you do, it is really user friendly and well structured. the lessons structures are planned ahead of time so that students can plan their schedule months ahead, which is a really helpful way to manage one's time. It would have been much appreciated if the Asynchronys activities are less bonded with time/schedule as for example if a digital pill is scheduled to on a specific day it would be better if no limitation in timing on the day is set, as this would leave more time for student to finalize their activities and not be restricted with a time schedule for an activity that is actually meant to be conducted solely. as for the experience with professors, this actually varies from one to another, which i find normal as teaching skills, personalities varies from a person to another, and here comes the role of RBS which i believe could be more strengthened is to create is harmonized teaching materials/ supporting documents manual for all professors to follow, as for example some professors provide an in-depth course materials based on their own efforts and experience/teaching skills, while others relies only on the presentation document and live session/digital pill content. harmonizing this would give students additional learning base to strengthen their understanding benefiting from the experience and knowledge of the professors of each module/material. Overall, it is a pleasant experience so far with RBS with the option of very good exposure which gives students the motivation and geat career futuristic opportunities.

RBS, the world in one place

Rome Business School
Brand Management and Communication
My journey with Rome Business School is an amazing story punctuated by beautiful adventures. My deepest and sincere gratitude to the contact persons and administrative personnel. You are always on hand to guide and assist whenever called upon.
Rome Business School is the world in one place-the Eternal City. RBS is an international community with people from various continents, cultures, age, academic and professional disciplines. Here, everyone is cherished, valued and respected; ideas are shared, knowledge imparted, lives transformed, great minds are formed and our cosmos is affected positively.
Gifted with humane and academic prowess, whose fame precedes their personages, our professors create an ambience for integral and holistic learning on Campus and Virtually, through engaging conversations. In Rome Business School, dreams become reality, a universal support system is created, and a novel RBS ecosystem is formed between professor and student. Equipped with such amazing opportunities, the sky is but our starting point for greatness.

Valentino’s Archives Company Visit

The company visit organized by Rome Business School at Valentino’s archives was a truly memorable experience. The staff was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable, making us feel privileged to access a part of the brand that is rarely open to the public. Exploring the archives allowed us to better understand Valentino’s heritage, craftsmanship, and creative vision. It was an inspiring and enriching experience that added real value to our academic journey.

The Human Advantage in the Age of AI

The Leadership Programme at Rome Business School has honestly been one of the most meaningful experiences of my Master’s so far.

Professor Rick Capozzi doesn’t just teach leadership — he lives it. With decades of global experience, he brings real stories, real challenges, and real lessons into the classroom. What stayed with me most is his reminder that in a world full of AI and unlimited data, soft skills are what truly set you apart.

The session was incredibly engaging and practical. The self-assessment exercise pushed me to look at myself with honesty — to recognize both my strengths and the areas I need to grow. It wasn’t just inspiring; it gave me clear actions to work on immediately.

What I appreciated most was the human side of it all — the emphasis on emotional intelligence, resilience, influence, and staying calm under pressure. It felt less like a lecture and more like a conversation that genuinely challenges you to become better.

Grateful for the experience and for the perspective it gave me.

I learned so much from the series of…

I learned so much from the series of sessions under EI & Personal Branding Management (Prof. Francesca) and Consultancy (Prof. Gianluca) that are both within the Independent Employment program at RBS. The sessions were full of information, insights, inspiration and practical tools and methods that any independent freelancer needs. Nonetheless, the knowledge gained can be applied to any work environment, hence its significance. I highly recommend this track at RBS.

Good experience overall

I am currently attending an International Master at Rome Business School and my experience has been positive overall. The school offers a variety of programs with strong flexibility — including online, part-time, remote, and onsite options — making it easier to balance studies with professional commitments.
I particularly appreciate the additional initiatives, such as bootcamps and remote company visits, which add practical value to the learning experience. The staff is friendly and supportive, the professors are knowledgeable, and the international environment allows you to connect with classmates from diverse countries and professional backgrounds.
There is a short adjustment period at the beginning to become familiar with the methodology and platforms, but overall I would recommend Rome Business School to anyone looking for a qualified and flexible master’s program.

Insightful session on AI in Healthcare

The online session by Owkin at Rome Business School provided a clear and practical overview of how artificial intelligence is applied in healthcare. I found the discussion on using AI for analyzing complex health data and supporting clinical research particularly insightful. I am grateful to Francesca for delivering such a well-structured and engaging presentation.

Refund not made

I am a lawyer, my name is Kárita. My wife enrolled in a master's degree in Data Science. She was not admitted, and they promised to refund the amount of $2,000 (two thousand euros) within a few days. However, they have not refunded the amount paid for months and do not respond to repeated emails. I would like to warn anyone thinking of enrolling that, unfortunately, the university does not treat students seriously, and there are several complaints about non-refunds both here and on other channels such as Reddit. I even suspect that the positive comments about the school here are paid for, as I have seen repeated dissatisfaction and insecurity among students in complaint forums. With this evidence in hand, if the refund is not made by the first half of February, I will take legal action.
However, I hope that the School will resolve this administratively without further strain on both parties.

Online Meeting with DHL

Meeting Key figures from such a reference for our field of interest (as it is DHL), is a huge opportunity. To hear from the DHL sustainability front line the challenges and opportunities they face day by day is inspiring and mind opening for us, RBS thanks for this.

Disappointing Academic Experience and Poor Support

I completed the Digital Master’s in Marketing with very mixed feelings. After finishing the program, I can say that the academic level was much lower than what I expected from a master’s degree, and I did not gain strong or advanced knowledge.

The evaluation system is very weak. Exams were simple and many students openly relied on ChatGPT to get good grades. I personally did not use it, because I joined this program to actually learn something, not to cheat. Attendance and participation were not really important, which created the feeling that as long as you pay, you will receive the diploma. A fellow student even told me that an admissions officer said: “If you want to study seriously, this is not the right school, but you will have time to explore.” This sentence describes the experience very well.

I also believe the school is not transparent enough with international students, especially those coming from Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. Many arrive hoping to stay and work in Europe, but it is never clearly explained that without speaking Italian, opportunities in the Italian job market are extremely limited. The school promotes itself as very international, but the acceptance rate is so high that some students struggled to communicate properly in English. As an EU citizen, I do not feel the €6,000 fee was justified.

The most disappointing part of the program was the capstone project. I ended up taking the role of team leader because no one else wanted to do it, and teamwork was almost nonexistent. Only one other colleague and I were consistently committed and attended every session. Instead of guidance, we received harsh treatment. The mentor was rude, dismissive, and made personal comments. I was called arrogant, accused of playing the victim, and in the end blamed entirely for the failure of the capstone, being told I am not a good leader. There was never any apology for this behavior.

I reported the situation to the Master’s Director, including details and names. Nothing changed, and the mentor’s behavior was excused by saying he might have had his reasons. I strongly disagree. There is no justification for treating students with disrespect.

Administrative management was also problematic. During the year we had three different coordinators, which caused confusion and poor communication. We only received an official school email address after half of the program was already completed, and it was a basic .com address rather than a proper academic domain, which felt very unprofessional.

Another important point is that, from my understanding, this institution is not officially recognized in Italy, meaning students do not receive the same benefits as those enrolled in recognized universities, such as public transport discounts.

I did not give the lowest rating only because there were a few classes that were enjoyable. However, other situations were honestly embarrassing, such as a professor using AI tools during lectures to answer questions.

Overall, this master’s has not added value to my career so far. I feel I paid for a low-quality academic experience and experienced unnecessary mistreatment. I strongly encourage future applicants to read reviews carefully and do thorough research before enrolling.

Support and genuine care

RBS is so much more than just a school. The staff is most helpful and amable. They understand the difficulties of studying while working, and provide support along the way. All my doubts have been resolved in a timely and human manner, and there's usually a follow-up. I'm quite sure I'm at a milestone moment of my career.

Soild program and exellent profs

I graduated from RBS in September 2025 from my International Masters in Media & Entertainment online and I can definitely recommend it to any (especially) professional who is willing to build themselves further. The profs are exellent and the program is solid. Definitely this masters is more useful to those who are into the entertainment field of media.

International Master in Sustainability and Bioeconomy

Studying remotely and part-time at Rome Business School for the Master in Bioeconomy and Sustainability was a transformative experience for me. The flexibility of the online format allowed me to continue working while still feeling fully connected to the program. Live sessions were interactive, and the professors created a supportive environment where questions and discussions were always encouraged.

What stood out most was how practical the curriculum felt. We explored real sustainability challenges, innovative bio‑based solutions, and emerging trends in the circular economy. Even though the program was remote, I never felt isolated — teamwork, networking opportunities, and constant guidance from the academic staff made the journey engaging and motivating.

I finished the program feeling more confident, knowledgeable, and inspired to contribute to a more sustainable future. I’m truly glad I chose this path.
