LUISS Guido Carli (Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali) is a private Italian university located close to Rome's historic centre, in one of the city's most beautiful areas. The University offers a variety of programmes held in Italian, plus an increasing number of courses in English, making it accessible to students from all over the world. Thanks to its affiliation with "Confindustria", i.e. the Italian Industrialists' Confederation, the University has close ties to the country's industrial concerns, most of which operate internationally as well. In the more than forty years since its founding in 1966, LUISS Guido Carli University has thus played a key role in Italy's economic and cultural development. Not only has it trained world-class leaders sensitive to the values of market culture and the rules of a modern democracy, but it has also made important academic contributions in the fields of international law, EU law, business law and industrial relations law. Beside LUISS permanent faculty consisting of distinguished Italian and foreign professors, who are also successful professionals, lawyers and consultant, LUISS welcomes renowned professors who hold courses and lectures on a visiting basis as well as professors who will be employed by LUISS on a longer term basis. Furthermore, in addition to a wide range of facilities offered to LUISS students (university canteen, bookstore, coffee shop, etc.) international students also benefit from services designed to enable them to make a smooth transition to life in Rome.

A dedicated member of the University's administrative staff is at students' disposal to assist in all matters related to their stay in Rome, whether it is prior to their arrival (e.g. guidance on diplomatic procedures) or during their stay in Italy (e.g. help in administrative formalities). Complementary Italian courses are offered to international students throughout the year, which will provide them with a basic knowledge of the local language and facilitate communication with persons outside the university campus.

EU and non-EU foreign students, as well as Italian citizens that reside abroad and attend a foreign university, can take one or more single courses at LUISS Guido Carli. Courses can last one or two semesters, and upon completion students will receive a certificate of studies. Students that successfully pass the final course exam can transfer the course credits according to the European Credits Transfer System (ECTS).
