ESN Roma LUISS

Is a recently-born section of one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe: the Erasmus Student Network (ESN). The volunteers who created and are running this section are proudly committed to the social and practical integration of international students coming to LUISS Universityand are actively working under the ESN mission’s principle “students helping students“.

The goal of the association is to make the period of study of each exchange student in Rome and at LUISSUniversity unforgettable by supporting diversities, promoting international dimension and involving the students in many activities. ESN also provides relevant information and encourages the future exchange students to gain international experience and insight to different cultures.

The Student Exchange Office

The LUISS Student Exchange Office promotes student exchanges within the LLP Erasmus Programme as well as through Bilateral Agreements with non-European Universities. The office is responsible for all aspects concerning student mobility in all departments. It also deals with orientation and registration of incoming students on exchange programmes.

All procedures are based on the ECTS system (European Community Course Credit Transfer System).

The Student Exchange Office has standardized and simplified all the procedures for the Erasmus and exchange students. All internal administrative procedures are channelled through the Office. Many aspects are taken care of automatically by the offices involved, such as course enrolment and registration for the exams.

When incoming students arrive, they are offered orientation sessions and receive an information package. Registration procedures, course selection and learning agreements are prepared and completed with the assistance of the Student Exchange Office. During their period of study at LUISS, guest students receive face-to-face support and advice when needed.

A number of activities are organized to help integration of the international students with the cooperation of the student associations. Incoming students are offered the same facilities and services as local students, such as: sports, a university dining hall, a medical doctor, IT and e-mail, a library, a bookstore, cultural events,seminars and conferences, a university radio, Erasmus tutoring, etc.

It is the policy of LUISS Guido Carli to work with a small number of high quality representatives in each of the countries we operate in. At present, we have about 120 student exchange cooperation agreements in 30 countries. We receive over 210 Erasmus and exchange students each year.

Italian language courses

Each year LUISS offers an Italian language crash course in September and extensive courses in both semesters for Erasmus and Exchange students who have been admitted to attend a semester or a year at the Departments of Business and Management, Economics and Finance, Political Science, or Law. The courses are at three levels: beginners, intermediate and advanced. Students can gain 3 ECTS credits for each course. They are free of charge for the students.

Housing

Accommodation is guaranteed to all students that apply by the deadline. Erasmus and Exchange students live off-campus rooms in private apartments with other students. A private organization, CTS, takes care of housing for LUISS Erasmus and exchange students.The Student Exchange Office does not take direct responsibility in providing accommodation.

Students must have the required pre-requisites and avoid time-table clashes. There is some flexibility for the Master’s Degree in International Relations offered by the Department of Political Science.

After arrival, from the beginning of classes, students will have one week to choose their programme of study, prepare the final learning agreement and register for courses.

The city of Rome

Rome is the capital of the ItalianRepublic and is the most populous and largest municipality in Italy. Rome is located in the middle of the Italian peninsula. The city was built on seven hills: Palatine, Aventine, Capitoline, Quirinal, Viminal, Esquiline and Caelian. The city of Rome offers a wide range of interesting possibilities, thanks to its unique richness of history, culture and art. Visitors will have the amazing opportunity to travel through history while walking on its streets: day life doesn’t only offer superb views of the Colosseum, Fontana di Trevi, the Foro Romano, Piazza di Spagna or the Pantheon, but also surprises with ancient secrets and modern beauties in the narrow streets of the city centre. The Roman night is also full of places where-to-be: the old Trastevere quarter, the very popular Campo de’ Fiori and Piazza Navona are only some of them. Entire collections of art masterpieces will be found in the Vatican and the CapitolMuseums, in the Borghese Gallery and in the National Museum of Modern Art, as well as in the many precious churches and cathedrals. Rome is one of the greatest centres of the Classical, Renaissance and Baroque art. The stratification of cultures, styles and works of art realised during the centuries is one of the most fascinating characteristics of the city. It is the city with the highest concentration of historical and architectural riches in the world.
