Bologna Business School

Bologna Business School is an international business school, created by the University of Bologna, the oldest university in the world, to shape a new generation of business leaders, capable of driving international growth and digital transformation, with a view to sustainability. Our academic interdisciplinary and strongly practice-oriented approach offers a unique learning experience in collaboration with Italian “industry champions” especially from the automotive, food and wine, sustainability, automation&robotics and luxury fields.

Our home is in Bologna at Villa Guastavillani, a splendid 16th century residence located in the heart of Italy, in one of the most leading economic regions of Italy and Europe.

At Bologna Business School we believe in cutting-edge and high quality education. With this in mind we design our course offering with the strategic guidance of an International Advisory Board and the day-to-day input of mixed teams made up of academics, practitioners, consultants and players on the global socio-economic scene.

At Bologna Business School we believe in continuing and customized education. This is why we build our programs to fit the needs of our stakeholders:

• Young managers who want to grow professionally and personally, strengthening specific functional skills or deepening their understanding of specific market sectors;
• Recent graduates who are entering the workforce and require knowledge, techniques and practical tools in addition to a traditional university education;
• Executives and professionals ready to challenge themselves, to consolidate their knowledge base, and raise the bar with their skills through work study, training and access to new networks;
• Companies and institutions aware of the complexity of new glocal realities who are ready to meet the challenges and opportunities that derive from leveraging their internal human capital.

At Bologna Business School we believe in accessible and open education. That is why we encourage the right to education by providing scholarships each year and guaranteeing honor loans to all of our international students.
