Great offer, improvement for “customer service”

The University of Naples Federico II lives up to its history and prestige. Besides the stunning architecture of its historical palaces and its location in the very heart of Naples’ historic centre, it has a competitive educational offer. My course of study is International Relations, a Master’s degree course provided entirely in English. The professors are Italian and some may struggle with the language, nevertheless they are extremely competent and real scholars in their subjects. The course covers many aspects of the international relations and students have the opportunity to choose between two different curricula: one focused on law and diplomacy; the other more focused on economic and financial aspects. During my course we have also had some distinguished guests who had a class or a seminar. In my experience my thesis supervisor has been really helpful, kind, and always available to have a dialogue and open to listen to my ideas and necessities. There is however some room for improvement: The courses require some level of practice that is now scarce. Theoretically speaking the preparation the course gives is excellent, but some form of practical experience is needed to let the students get to know better how the job market and job environments work. The students’ needs are often disregarded both by the teaching and administrative bodies, and it is sometimes difficult to get help with the huge bureaucracy related to the university (this is actually a really Italian problem). As mentioned above the buildings are architecturally magnificent but need maintenance in some areas and classrooms. The overall review is positive with needs for improvement and attention to the students’ requests.

Deep practical knowledge over superficial theory

The core strength of MIB Trieste lies in its sharp focus on practical application. Rather than providing superficial high-level overviews, the curriculum delivers real depth across every module, ensuring you walk away with usable, actionable knowledge rather than just academic theories. The program bridges high-level strategic concepts with real-world execution very effectively. ​If there is one area with room for improvement, it would be the career placement framework, which could be slightly more proactive in supporting candidates during their job search. That said, the academic rigor and practical readiness you gain more than compensate for it, making it a valuable experience overall. I highly recommend it to professionals looking for solid operational knowledge.

Academic Disorganization, Well-Prepared Professors

Degree programs could be managed much better; disorganization has a very negative impact on students’ mental health. However, I do recognize the excellent preparation of some professors, so overall I have a neutral opinion of this university.
