Dear Students,

choosing a university is not easy, and deciding which is the ideal university track is even less so, especially at such a crucial time in your lives. With this guide, we do not want to merely publicise our University. Our intention is to provide a tool that is easy to consult and really useful: another means by which to accompany you towards a conscious decision.

Choosing to continue your studies after graduating from high school is a decision that, despite the clichés, pays off. It allows you to develop a profound critical sense and, by putting yourself to the test, it provides useful tools to learn how to manage yourself in ever new contexts. It supports you, therefore, in your individual growth and education, not only on a professional level but on a personal level too.

Your choice and your path must be enlightened by this though: your years at university are decisive, now more than ever, to prepare yourself to become skilled professionals but also critical and free spirits equipped with knowledge, know-how and the ability to innovate.

It is with this spirit that we have invested a great deal of effort in developing the proposal for the 23 degree-courses for the new academic year. This task has been firmly based on the balance between innovation and tradition. We are proud of our facilities, the quality of our services and, above all, our education project.

We demand a lot from ourselves, in the recruitment of professors, in scientific research, in the development of skills and in internationalisation. We will be just as demanding with you, so that you can be better prepared, so that you always want to get involved, so that you always do your very best.

Good luck to all of you for the shared journey that awaits us.

ACADEMICS

LUMSA’s Formula

Libera Università Maria Ss. Assunta (LUMSA University) is a non-state, public university of Catholic inspiration which prides itself on its high-quality degree courses and education, intended as the capacity of being and acting in full consciousness. The University’s unique concept boasts specific services aimed to favour the graduates’ integration in the labour market and the mainstream society.

This is enabled by a network of international and local connections developed with the needs of the academic and entrepreneurial worlds in mind.

Established in 1939, LUMSA University is Rome’s leading non-State and second largest University, moreover, it has built a strong reputation over the years for its close focus on individual students and the high-quality of its academic teaching.

Focus on the individual

The students’ role is essential in the LUMSA tailor-made educational project, as it revolves around academic and human factors: this is a winning approach, highly appreciated by students.

It is no coincidence in fact that 95.6% of LUM-

SA’s graduates say that they are happy with their studies (AlmaLaurea 2023). This approach also affects the way students address their studies.

Each LUMSA University student in fact has as his or her most evident characteristic the regularity of his or her studies. Compared to the Italian national average (62,5%), over two thirds of LUMSA’s students are in line with their course schedules (79,1%) which is 16,6% above the national average: this is a clear sign of their serious intention to learn and successfully complete their courses.That is why it is not surprising that LUMSA’s students and graduates are highly appreciated in the professional and working world and have been rewarded with major accolades.

Quality of teaching

An excellent teaching staff of international scientific relevance testifies to the attention which LUMSA University gives to teaching.

The professors of the University, over the years, have been individually honoured with prominent awards in their fields of reference and hold positions in institutions and associations of primary importance in Italy and abroad.

Besides its traditional courses, the University

has launched a series of advanced educational projects. These include what is an exclusive partnership, unique in Italy, with the Opera Nazionale Montessori, that provides the additional Early Childhood Educator qualification to the students of Management of socio-educational and training services, or the International Law Programme/Course where all juridical subjects are taught in English and which involves non-Italian visiting professors who choose to carry out their research and educational activities at the University. The Degree courses in Management, Finance and Data Analytics, Marketing & Digital Communication and International Relations and Social, Forensic and Organizational Psychology are entirely taught in English. These are high-level master’s courses which provide students with the best skills to enter the labour market in highly competitive international contexts.

We also offer a number of double degrees, i.e. the possibility to attain an Italian and an international degree from EFAP (L’école des nouveaux métiers de la communication) of Paris, from Université de Lille, from Université Catholique de Lyon, from Universidad de Huelva and from Universidade Catolica Portuguesa.

In addition, from 2024 it is possible to register for the joint master’s degree program in English FINDATA (Financial Data Analytics and Sustainable Finance), organized in collaboration

between four European universities: University of Pardubice in Czech Republic, European University in Cyprus, LUMSA University in Italy and Vilnius University in Lithuania.

The legacy of the founder Luigia Tincani

The perfect blend between culture and focus on individual students is rooted in the philosophy and life of LUMSA’s founder, Luigia Tincani, who hinged her educational concept on the conviction that studying, active thinking and teaching render the best service possible to young people.

The

Relationship between Companies and the local area

LUMSA’s academic offer is not a mere teaching activity, in that it integrates with a series of services and opportunities aimed at fostering the students’ prospects and increasing their potential. In fact, the University is establishing closer and closer bonds with companies and institutions through curricular and extra-curricular internship agreements. Agreements have been signed with the Italian Ministry of Interior, the Civil Protection Department, as well as a partnership with Confcooperative.

However, the critical transition from university to the labour market entails much more than agreements: it calls for a series of permanent initiatives to ease such transition in an informed way (LUMSA4Job interviews), as well as to bridge the gap between youngsters and companies through meetings and events which students can attend even before they graduate (Talent Job Day and Talent Meetings).

Top-level Scientific Research

The University’s research activity ranges between the economic, legal, social sciences, psychological and educational areas in which all Departments achieved excellent recognition in the last ANVUR report (National Agency for the Evaluation of the University system and Research).

LUMSA University is the best first Italian university in the area of Management (Economic-business sciences) out of the over 70 universities evaluated. Excellent results also for the area of Legal sciences, which sees the University third in their own quartile with the Department of Law, Economics and Communication and first in Sicily and throughout the Southern Italy.

In the past few years, the University has received Italian (PON, PRIN) and European funds

(Erasmus+, Horizon 2020, Horizon Europe, DG Justice, etc.) and extra-European (Fulbright Program), in acknowledgement of its quality research projects.

LUMSA University is associated with the European networks of EUA (European University Association) and EURAXESS - Researchers in motion.

LUMSA Campuses

LUMSA University is today present in the Lazio, Sicily and Apulia Regions. LUMSA’s branches offer courses at every university level, with 23 degree courses and over 60 first and second level master courses designed by the LUMSA Master School.

Rome

Established in 1939, the University is located in the Prati neighbourhood, one of the most beautiful areas of the Eternal City, the world’s capital of culture and art. The four Roman branches are positioned in downtown Rome, along via della Traspontina, via di Porta Castello, piazza delle Vaschette and via Pompeo Magno, and can be easily reached by public or private transport, as well as by scooter and car sharing services active in the city and with which the University has signed conventions.

The walls of the Roman Campus enclose centuries of history: the building on piazza delle Vaschette dates back to 1859, when Pope Pius IX had an all-girl school built, which was later purchased by LUMSA University in 1939. The building on via della Traspontina was part of an urban innovation effort started in 1936 and concluded in the aftermath of World War II. The complex on via di Porta Castello opened in 2000 and served as accreditation structure

for the media covering the Jubilee, which it is named after.

In 2016, the University opened the via delle Fosse di Castello branch, a new wing of the Giubileo [Jubilee] Complex that completed the upgrading of the whole Campus. The Complex – inaugurated by the Ministry of Education, University and Research – accommodates

the Student Office, various administrative offices, LUMSA Cafè, the Central Library and the Residence.

Finally, a new University building was opened in July 2020 - the via Pompeo Magno campus dedicated to restaurant services and study and work spaces for students and professors.

Palermo

The educational center of Palermo is in via Filippo Parlatore 65, in the center of the city, a little over one kilometer from the central Via

della Libertà and the Politeama Theater. Built in 1897 as a monastery named after the Sacred Heart of Jesus [il Sacro Cuore di Gesù], after closing, 33 years later, the building was entrusted to Luigia Tincani who expanded it and transformed it into the Scuola di Magistero della donna (Professional school for women), an institution that quickly made a name for itself throughout the region. The structure was closed during the war and reopened in 1944 as Casa Bianca pension for the accommodation of university students. In 1999, it became a separate branch of LUMSA University. Its central position allows students to easily reach the campus both by railway and metro lines, and by means of a scheduled bus service.

In December 2021, the University received the approval of the Sicily Region to extend its premises in via Filippo Parlatore. The facility will become a real multi-functional Campus at the service of the student community and the inhabitants of Palermo, with green areas, classrooms, a library and a new auditorium.

This has also been made possible by the regeneration of the former Lolli Station railway sheds which now provides direct access from via Dante.

LUMSA is also operational with the Santa Silvia School of Social Service, legally established in the University since 1984, to then become

the branch office for teaching science courses social.

Taranto

The separate Taranto hub offers Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses in social services. The campus in Piazza Santa Rita, in the centre of the city, has been active since 1997 in collaboration with Edas, the Diocesan Body of the Social Apostolate.

Living the University

Study

The University’s Library System, includes the Cardinal Attilio Nicora Central University Library in Rome, a modern six-storey building with 190 reading stations which, since 2019, has hosted a European Documentation Center; the Giuseppe Dalla Torre Library and the Cardinal Ernesto Ruffini Library in Palermo; and last but not least, the Edas Library in Taranto, specialised in the field of social studies and consisting of the libraries, archives and documentation centres of the university, both paper and digital, of which it promotes the development, organisation, acquisition, preservation and use.

It has over 179,000 volumes, 21 multidisciplinary databases and 535 current periodicals relating to humanities, legal, economic and political sciences, and the sciences of communication and education. It also includes a collection of psychological tests and a section dedicated to Bioethics.

Living

Two university residences in the heart of Rome allow you to stay in structures adja-

cent to the teaching faculties, benefiting from comfortable and modern housing arrangements for a safe university experience without wasting time in city traffic.

Students with special housing needs can enlist the help of the Accommodations Service to find private housing. This is a free service for all students, who receive concrete aid from the desk staff during all stages of the search: from visiting the accommodation to reaching a decision and signing the rental agreement. By request, assistance is also provided as regards moving and arranging furniture.

For the academic years 2023-2024 and 20242025, the University has signed an agreement with the Camplus Foundation, a network of colleges of merit and residences, which provides the commitment to host at the facility located in Via Alcide De Gasperi, 4 (Rome) the students enrolled in study courses and PhDs at favorable economic conditions.

Some specific services are also available for international students such as HousingAnywhere services, Erasmusu, Erasmus Play and Spotahome.

Receiving assistance

To guarantee the right to study and promote inclusion and integration into university life, LUMSA University provides services for students with disabilities and a diagnosis of Specific Learning Disorders (SLD).

The Counselling Service provides the benefit of targeted support to deal with problems of an existential or personal nature.

The University also offers specific and free assistance to those who wish to improve their study activity planning and organisation through the Study Method Support Service, in the various locations in Rome, and the Wellbeing and Learning Ecopsychodynamic Counselling Service available in Palermo.

Taking the initiative

Participating fully in university life offers students a broader experience than just being in the classroom. It allows students to acquire important teamwork experiences and to refine their communication and relational skills, soft skills that are particularly appreciated in the working world and those who study at LUMSA University can exercise these skills right from the first year of the course. The University encourages the promotion, organisation and management of projects run by

students and addressed to the student community, such as courses in diction and phonetics, creative writing, theatre, and journalistic activities for our Aìko Magazine. These are cultural and recreational activities that the University actively supports, choosing to finance those that are most significant in terms of quality and most consistent with the degree courses, as well as those most appreciated by the student population.

The desire to actively participate in University life has given rise, over the years, to a privileged path that has led to the creation of a team of Student Ambassadors, students who collaborate with the University in on-site orientation and at national fairs, putting their personal experience as university students at the service of their younger “colleagues”, or in support of major events organised at university locations.

Communicate

Information, listening and dialogue: three stages of communication that LUMSA University pursues through different channels, which have as their point of reference the Ateneo lumsa. it website.

With the Mi@LUMSA digital services and the mobile App for iOS and Android, you can easily carry out the most common operations required in a university career, such as ma-

naging fees and booking exams. The mobile App is a useful tool through which to stay updated on the latest news and receive any information through push notifications.

With the social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube), used by LUMSA University to interact with the academic community, it is possible to be informed and participate actively, talking publicly with other students or privately to ask for support and receive assistance.

The LUMSAinforma newsletter, to which students, family members -- and all those who wish to -- can sign up, is used weekly by the University to provide users with the latest news, details on the most important upcoming events and present opportunities and competitions. Spend time together

Participation in university life also involves a series of networking activities that are complementary to the teaching activity and contribute to the formation of the individual and ensure his or her physical and mental well-being. LUMSA Sport United is an amateur sport club that participates in various inter-university tournaments including volleyball, tennis, soccer and, seven-a-side rugby.

University sports activities are affiliated with the CSI (Centro Sportivo Italiano) and ties to initiatives promoted by CUSI, FIR, FIPAV, CONI, PCCS and CEI.

University pastoral work is the tool with which the Church accompanies and supports students in their spiritual formation, also extending the activity to teachers, staff and graduates who feel the need. The activities proposed include the organisation of meetings on spirituality and preparation for the Sacraments.

The Jubilee Campus in Rome, located ini via di Porta Castello and via Pompeo Magno hosts the LUMSA Café, a space dedicated to the teachers and staff of the University, but especially to the students who can take a break here between one lesson and another, and use the opportunity to meet and get to know new people in an informal setting.

The conventions established by the University with associations and cultural spaces offer the academic community further cultural opportunities. There are many important partnerships, including the Roma Capitale Museum System, several theatres and bookstores. Learn

goes beyond traditional classroom teaching, LUMSA University has devised an innovative proposal for professional growth, complementary to the degree courses, which consists of a Language Centre and a Talent Academy.

The CLIC, Centro Linguistico Internazionale per le Certificazioni (International Linguistics Centre for Certifications) coordinates and develops an articulate training system which combines teaching with a facilitated service for access to language courses by students, but also by users outside the University. In particular, the service centres on the organisation of language courses, also aimed at preparing exams for the main international certificates in English (Toefl, IELTS, Cambridge), Spanish (DELE, Cervantes), German (Goethe), French (DELF - DALF), Italian for foreigners (CELI), but also non-European languages such as Russian, Chinese and Arabic.

Convinced that the interpersonal ties established during the years spent at university are important and fundamental also in a subsequent professional phase, the University promotes the initiatives of the LUMSA ALUMNI Association, a network of graduates, professionals and entrepreneurs in Italy and abroad, driven by the desire to stay in touch

with their colleagues in order to enhance the resources and experiences acquired during the course of their studies, from both a human and professional viewpoint.

Work

The LUMSA Talent Academy is an innovative project that envisages a series of activities and services aimed at preparing students and graduates to enter the working world with a Job Guidance service focused on developing the skills of the individual. The programme aims to put students in touch with managers of the main national and multinational companies operating in Italy. Participation in the activities of the Talent Academy is a valid opportunity to learn about the selection mechanisms of companies through: drafting and optimising CVs, simulating interviews with company managers, using social media for seeking jobs, analysing professional trends and promoting their personal branding.

The University is also home to a special Commission for the certification of employment contracts, directly authorized by the Italian Ministry of Labor and Social policies, which has competencies on different employment contracts, individual clauses and conciliation of disputes.

The international perspective

LUMSA University has always been open to internationalization and was among the first Italian universities to receive European quality certifications with the ECTS and Diploma labels Supplement. To date, the University has established conventions and entered into agreements with universities, European and non-European to encourage the incoming and outgoing mobility of students, professors and administrative staff and has established partnerships for research projects on an international level.

The lessons of some degree programmes are in English and for several degree programmes it is possible to obtain a double degree after one year of study at affiliated foreign universities in France and Spain (degree courses master’s degree in International Relations, Marketing & digital communication and Design and management of social policies and services). These also represent particulary intresting opportunities for foreign students who choose the LUMSA University to study in an unparalleled educational context.

according to the Erasmus Impact Study, are more inclined to recruit young graduates who have taken part in periods of mobility abroad during their years of study. LUMSA University currently has 324 agreements with European universities for study, teaching and research purposes and 35 institutional agreements with non-European universities. The choice of the country of destination is extensive: it does not just include the 27 Member States of the European Union, but also North Macedonia, Norway, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Turkey. The University proactively supports international mobility by awarding not only regional Erasmus contributions, but also specific scholarships concerning mobility for study reasons.

From a professional point of view, LUMSA University makes the experience of the Erasmus + Traineeship Programme possible, allowing students to carry out internships in companies, universities and European research centres. But not only Europe. Thanks to a series of partnerships with Asian and American universities, master’s and doctoral students have the opportunity to participate in cooperation and exchange projects in India, Canada, Brazil, Argentina or Mexico. In this way, scientific research also opens up to international perspectives: it is no coincidence that LUMSA University has recently obtained various funds from highly competitive tenders (HORIZON EUROPE, Marie Curie, Erasmus+, Fulbright) by presenting research

projects of strong international interest.

The growing number of foreign students, from over 55 nations around the world, who choose LUMSA University to train or for short periods of mobility (like the Erasmus+ Programme) prove that the University’s global perspective is highly appreciated, also thanks to the specificity of the individual degree courses and the possibility to take classes and graduate in English.

Attention to the internationalisation of graduate profiles is stimulated by the University also for students studying in Italian. The participation of students is in fact highly encouraged in international initiatives or events tied to their study sectors, such as, for example, the Moot Competition for students of law, meetings and workshops with foreign Ambassadors for those studying international Relations and other appointments both in Italy and abroad.
