Graduate Business School in Bologna, Italy

Bologna Business School - University of Bologna:
Alma Graduate School becomes the Foundation of the University of Bologna, with a new name, Bologna Business School, thus strengthening its international reach, as seen in an increasing number of initiatives in the English language intended for a global audience, such as regular conferences, summer school, short-term courses, fellowships, exchange programs, and last but not least full professional Master programs.

Over 300 lecturers are also participating in the community, of which roughly 50% belong to the University of Bologna, while 15% come from other international business schools and 35% are managers and consultants.

Bologna Business School offers a 360° academic and real world training experience, including full-time masters in English and Italian for graduates, part-time masters for executives and open programs for professionals from various fields.  BBS collaborates alongside industry leading companies, providing them quality, tailor-made programs and works together with various public and private entities to make a real and solid contribution to the international development of its economic territory, placing BBS at the same time amongst the most recognized national and international industry leaders.

The Bologna Business School's Headquarters is at Villa Guastavillani, one of the most beautiful villas in Bologna. This structure of artistic and historical value was built during the second half of the XVI century on the Bolognese hills, less than ten minutes from the city centre, where history, technology and tradition coexist in a particularly beautiful, natural framework.
