Luiss Graduate Summer School:
Graduate Summer Courses in Europe
Luiss Graduate Summer School turns summer into a high-impact international academic experience. Designed for university students, the programme helps develop market-relevant skills, engage with professors and industry experts, and experience academic life in the heart of Rome.
Recognised among the most dynamic summer university courses in Europe, it combines academic development with structured Master’s degree orientation, supporting participants as they reflect on future postgraduate studies and approach their next academic step with greater clarity and confidence.
The programme also includes a dedicated focus on the Luiss Master’s degree admission test, offering the opportunity to prepare for — and sit — the test during the summer, turning the experience into a strategic step toward academic progression.
How the four Graduate Summer Schools are structured
The Graduate Summer Schools are structured around two integrated and complementary modules which, when attended together, allow participants to enjoy an authentic Luiss Graduate experience in advance.
- Skills & Innovation Booster (3 days): This module focuses on the development of transferable skills.
- Academic Deep Dive (5 days): This module allows participants to explore one of the four strategic areas in depth and prepare for the Luiss Master’s degree admission test.
You can attend the Academic Deep Dive module on its own, or you can choose the Full Experience, which combines both modules.
Find out more about the structure of the programmes on the dedicated page.
