Highlights

The Double Degree between Luiss and Bayes Business School is a challenging two-year program taught entirely in English, designed for students enrolled in the first year of the Luiss Master's program in Corporate Finance.

Students who complete the program will earn a Master’s degree in Corporate Finance from Luiss University and a Master’s degree in Corporate Finance from Bayes Business School.

The program is structured as follows:

  • the first year is spent at Luiss (Rome);
  • The second year is spent at Bayes Business School (London, UK).

Students selected for the Double Degree will be registered at Luiss and will pay tuition there during their time at Bayes Business School. Students will be exempt from paying tuition at Bayes Business School. However, there may be a few administrative expenses at Bayes Business School (such as costs related to issuing the Bayes Business School degree). 

To earn a Double Degree, students must comply with the rules and conditions of both their home and host universities regarding credits, attendance, deadlines, and more.
