About

History

Luiss Guido Carli has its origins in an earlier institution: Pro Deo University, founded in 1966. In 1974 a group of entrepreneurs led by Umberto Agnelli decided to invest human and financial resources in an innovative educational project. Luiss adopted a new educational approach, moving in the direction of top-notch international universities.

Education

The distinctive educational method of Luiss is enquiry-based, “lifelarge learning”.  Luiss offers unique opportunities for academic, personal, and professional growth and development. Luiss employs strategies that enhance the synergies between scholarly research and student education, including the implementation of an innovative education model that puts students’ questions and critical thinking skills at the center of all activities. 

A richer, broader evolution of lifelong learning, this distinctive educational philosophy offers unique opportunities for growth and enhancement academically, personally, and professionally.

Research

Luiss University produces social sciences research in the fields of: economics, history, political science, sociology, political theory, government and public organization theory, law and management. Luiss faculty members are top experts in their fields, actively engaged in their research communities as well as in their professional and management communities.

Career

Luiss has a business-friendly DNA and that renders it perfect for collaboration with corporate partners. Through its connection with Confindustria (the Italian business association) and the international business community, Luiss has always maintained an intense dialogue and strong collaboration with the entrepreneurial world. 

These strong connections in the world of business and politics help Luiss students easily find internships and early career placement upon graduation. On average, 90% of Luiss alumni begin their first professional experience within one year of graduation.
