The first half of the year the program is very basic, this is done in hopes of having all students with the same base knowledge but unfortunately, students with a business/economics background have no engagement or academic challenge as these courses cover the introduction of management courses very briefly.

The university is known to be one of the best in Italy, it offers great job opportunities, it pays attention to the students at 360 degrees both at an academic level and at a more practical level projected into the future. Despite this, due or not to the pandemic situation still in place, I found some gaps in the organizational field. A practical example is the following: we were told (even before classes started) that the university had several partner schools, with which we could do an exchange (added value to the degree). Once classes started, we were not introduced to the exchanges that we students imagined, fewer than the ones we had been told about (3 maximum). Another aspect is to be considered, instead, more internally, the lessons are still general, being at the beginning, the professors are present and attentive to us students, but doing sometimes 8 hours a day of lessons, it would be better to give more breaks to the students so that they can refresh their minds and fully follow the professor until the end of the lesson.

I just started this master two months ago. The program is perfectly structured, and also the university has a very good image. I will update in the following months this review. About these first two months, I only can say that it is too generic, but in the next months would start to be more concrete.

I believe that the program is poorly organized and that the level of the courses within the master’s is too low-level. The student coordinators are unable to organize the course or help the students. Poor planning and coordinating.

The first part of the program is a repetition of topics already covered during an economics Bachelor’s, though understanding that the aim is that of facilitating the shift for students coming from a different background. However, three months of general management courses are too much for economics students and probably not enough for the others.
Classes last an average of 3.30h, with only a 10/15′ break, which is not enough for students to remain concentrated the whole time.
Side note, the cafeteria is not even remotely big enough for all the students that go there at lunch: 20 minutes queues and people eating lunch standing up, which is not fine for students of a private master they are paying handsomely.

These are the only negative notes about the master I feel should be taken into account. The second part of the program will definitely be more interesting, the campus is magnificently beautiful and people (both students and professors) are really nice. LBS also takes to heart for its students to graduate with a set of soft skills most universities wouldn’t care about.

The first semester is too slow and too easy for students with an economical background. The professor’s level of English fluctuates from a normal to a low level of English, this could be better. The location and the campus are really beautiful, but too small for the number of students, when we look at the capacity of the cafeteria.

The university management and infrastructure is good. The class is diverse so you get a chance to interact with people from various cultural and professional backgrounds.
The course in terms of exams and the class assignments is not structured well.
There should be live projects and interactive sessions in regards with each subject wherein each student is evaluated in terms of class performance and the active participation and not just on the basis of online exams.
The syllabus and the way subjects are being taught must be improved.

During the lessons, most of the examples are guest speakers from a Fashion or luxury clothing background. Hence the scope of versatility in the Luxury sectors like Hotels, cars, watches, automobiles, sports, and cuisine sectors aren’t being highlighted.

It was super interesting to learn about luxury in the heart of it itself, Italy.
Great snd interesting professors that really care for their students.
Fun projects that became repetitive but a great learning experience

Too soon to speak. Will be better to give a deeper review later. Let’s say in two months. After the first semester is over. Then I believe I will have a more knowledgeable answer than now. I’m looking forward to doing it.
