The Luiss Bachelor’s Degree in Management and Artificial Intelligence, belonging to the L-18 degree class and taught entirely in English, prepares professionals capable of leading digital transformation through a strong economic, managerial and entrepreneurial perspective.

The programme combines quantitative and IT skills with economics and management, training professionals able to understand the potential of Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and machine learning and apply them to decision-making processes and business strategies.

Through workshops, company-based project work, real-world case studies and challenge-based learning activities, including the Grand Challenge, students develop analytical skills, problem-solving abilities and collaboration skills. The programme does not require prior IT knowledge and enables students to progressively acquire the tools needed to interact both with technology functions and with organisational management.
