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.
One of The best options in RBS !
It was a great experience it push me up to grow and be focused on my target and objectives.
I really appreciate more sessions or any methodology to support a junior/beginner consultant to be on this business ''just a suggestion''
My experience with RBS was excellent
My experience with RBS was excellent. The team supported me a lot and guided me throughout the process, helping me secure this internship. Their encouragement, clear guidance, and constructive feedback made my experience both valuable and enjoyable.
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.
It was a very insightful session with…
It was a very insightful session with Director Global Sustainability Strategy & Programs at DHL. She dived into the depths of the services offered by the company and the initiatives taken by DHL to be more sustainable and green.
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.
not worth the money
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.
The assistance I received was excellent.
I am very grateful to the entire RBS team for helping me with everything I needed to be accepted. My experience so far has been fantastic. I am looking forward to starting my master's degree next September!
A truly practical and inspiring learning experience
I really enjoyed the Business Practice Lab and found it extremely inspiring. The professor’s teaching style was engaging and very practical, and the concepts were immediately applicable. I am already using several of the methodologies in my professional role, including for internal training activities with international teams. Overall, it was a valuable and concrete learning experience that I would highly recommend.
Empowering Education with Real-World Impact
udying at Rome Business School is a transformative experience for me. I truly appreciate the international environment, which allows me to connect with inspiring peers from all over the world. The practical approach to learning, combined with the support of attentive staff, helps me grow both professionally and personally. Every class feels relevant and engaging, and the networking opportunities are giving me confidence to take the next step in my career. This experience gives me valuable insights and skills that I plan to apply in launching my own sustainable, luxury fashion business in the future.
New learning experience at FAO
I really enjoyed my experience visiting the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome with Rome Business School. It was interesting to tour the company headquarters with other students in the food and beverage management program along with human resource management peers. The modern museum provided lots of context on the origins of the organization and deeper dive into food and sustainability topics. The tour guide was warm and welcoming, answering all of our questions and showing us different important rooms like the conference room where grand meetings take place.
How Almawave opened my eyes
What made my experience great was the fact that i was able to learn new material from a giant in the industry like Almawave. I was able to understand better the material presented by my professors from my master. Almawave presenter was able to show me what i still don't know about Artificial Intelligence and better understand the mecanism.
A Highly Educational FAO Company Visit
I had the opportunity to take part in the company visit to the FAO, and it was an extremely enriching and well-organized experience. The visit provided valuable insight into the FAO’s crucial role in global food systems and in addressing food security challenges worldwide.
The presentations were clear, engaging, and highly relevant, allowing me to better connect my academic background in International Food and Beverage with real-world international practices. This experience offered a meaningful perspective on how global institutions operate within the food and beverage sector.
Overall, it was a highly valuable learning experience that I would strongly recommend to other students.
My visit to the Food and Agriculture…
My visit to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) last Wednesday was an inspiring and enriching experience that deepened my understanding of how global institutions operate.
As part of my master’s program at Rome Business School, led by our program director Natasha, I had the opportunity to explore the FAO museum, conference rooms, offices, and other key areas within the organization.
This visit allowed me to witness firsthand how international policies on food security and agriculture are developed and coordinated.
It was both educational and motivating, strengthening my interest in international development and HR work while giving me a deeper appreciation for the global impact of organizations like FAO.
I look forward to more opportunities of this kind throughout my studies.
My experience with Rome Business School has been very positive. The Academic Team provides prompt and personalized support, making students feel valued and guided throughout the program. Communication
I would like to emphasize the outstanding support from the Academic Team and the overall organization of the program. The coordinators are always approachable, responsive, and genuinely invested in student success. The learning materials are well-structured, and the program encourages active participation, making the experience both rewarding and engaging.
