LUMSA University is characterised by the duality of tradition and modernity because it integrates humanistic and classical knowledge with economics, information technology and management, a mix that is able to meet the needs of the labour market and constitutes an ideal policy, today, to allow young people to address in an informed and responsible way the challenges and the changes of a society that is undergoing rapid and constant change. Another characteristic of this university is the emphasis it places on students deserving of financial help. Indeed, the overall level of the fees for the first income band has been made almost the same as that in state universities.
The educational supply of LUMSA is arranged around three faculties, with ten three-year degree courses, twelve specialist degree courses, one four-year degree course, three schools of specialisation, nine specialisation courses, twelve first level master’s degrees and thirteen second level master’s degrees.
