Highlights

This Double Degree with the University of Mannheim is an exciting two-year program taught entirely in English. It's designed for students planning to enroll in the Luiss Master's program in Management or Strategic Management, with its major in English.

If students meet both Luiss and Mannheim’s academic requirements, they will earn a Master’s in Management (M.Sc.) from the University of Mannheim and a Master’s Degree in Management or Strategic Management from Luiss.

The program is structured as follows:

• The first year is spent at the University of Mannheim (Mannheim, Germany).
• The second year is spent at Luiss University (Rome, Italy).

Students selected for the Double Degree will be registered at Luiss during their time in Mannheim and will pay tuition fees at Luiss. Students will be exempt from paying tuition fees at Mannheim. If students meet both universities’ rules and conditions regarding credits, attendance, deadlines, academic integrity, and other requirements, they will receive two degrees, which will be issued according to each university’s procedures.
