Luiss takes 25th place in the world in the Financial Times ranking of the best management courses

The Luiss University opens the new academic year with a new, important milestone: 25th place in the world for the Master's Degree in "Management" in the ranking published today by the Financial Times, climbing five positions since 2023 and an impressive 65 in five years.
The Free International University of Social Studies also ranked 2nd for the career progress of its graduates and distinguished itself for its focus on sustainability by entering the Top 5 globally for its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and 10th place for offering courses dedicated to ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) issues.
"The growth of the University in the most prestigious international rankings is the result of a constant investment in an educational offer with innovative content, which pays increasing attention to the development and dissemination of new technologies with a specific focus on AI as an engine of opportunities and a generator of value," said Rector Paolo Boccardelli, continuing: "We are very proud of this result, which confirms the international competitiveness of our Laurea Magistrale in Management and strengthens the role of Luiss as an increasingly attractive laboratory of innovation and development, ready to respond to future challenges. The Financial Times ranking could not have come on a better day than this, when freshmen begin their academic journey. This year, we have chosen to welcome them together with an exceptional partner, Intesa Sanpaolo, to underline, from the very first day at the university, Luiss's deep connection with the production and institutional system, an integral part of the DNA of our University".

The traditional Welcome Ceremony for new Luiss students took place today on the Viale Pola Campus. The collaboration with Intesa Sanpaolo took place in particular through the "Look4ward - Build Your Future" programme, developed by the bank to inspire young people on the main transformational trends in society, the economy and skills for the future.
In addition to the Rector, Paolo Boccardelli, the ceremony was addressed by the General Manager, Giovanni Lo Storto, and Professors Antonio Gullo, dean of the Undergraduate School and Single-Cycle Master's Degree; Enzo Peruffo, dean of the Graduate School; Emiliana De Blasio, adivisor of the Rector for Diversity, Inclusion and Sustainability; and Giuseppe Italiano, pro-rector for Artificial Intelligence and Digital Skills.
