Good and Strong University, for a Good and Strong City

My opinion about my University and my University's career is very positive. From my point of view, this is a great, very valuable place to study and full of good professors, who they put their souls for teaching. Even the community is great, full of great people, where you can create very strong and powerful bonds. Pointing the scientific study and the employment opportunities, they have great professor, that can teach you not only the concept of the study, but also the passion of it, and about the jobs, our university has a great connection and a name. In the end, I say that I recommend my university: this is the place I choose in the past and, if I had the possibility to rewind time, without hesitation, I would pick the same option.

Evaluating the University of Siena

Advantages -DSU Toscana provides you an accommodation and stipends. That is need based scholarship. Most low-income students are provided. -Siena has many professors who are highly ranked according to Google Scholar. -City is small and all campuses can be reached easily. -You have 6 chances to make your grades better for whole year. Disadvantages -City is labyrinth. -Courses are not well organised. There is only one accounting related course in MSc International Accounting and Management. -Most professors don't care about your thesis, process and writings. -During the lesson, professors use Italian words. That is unacceptable.

Very basic courses

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.

Life with RBS

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.

Solid program and international atmosphere

The program at MIB Trieste School of Management allowed me to acquire solid management skills in an international context. The courses are well-structured, focused on practice and group projects. I particularly appreciated the cultural diversity and the interaction with students from all over the world. I recommend this school to those looking for an enriching and professional learning experience. The organization could be improved at times, but overall, the experience was very positive.

The amazing professors/teachers there!

First of all since my campus was in the heart of Rome, the place and inside of the university was like a whole museum. I love how friendly and helpful the staff was, the professors were one in a million. I love how they did all their best to tell us about the subjects in detail and in a fun way with examples for us to get into it more. I liked how they make time and engage in it and actually help us to teach us, so it was all in one reading writing with our own brain and infos searching for the sources by ourselves listening but also being able to express our own way of knowledge on the topics!
