Structured Exchange in Management and Computer Science with BI Norwegian Business School

Highlights

The program will give to a selected group of students the opportunity to take two full semesters at the BI Norwegian Business School during the third year of their Bachelor’s program in Management and Computer Science.

The program, taught entirely in English, offers the unique opportunity to combine studies in Business Analytics in Oslo with a truly innovative program on data science in Rome. In this way, students from both universities will build solid foundations for successful careers in evidence-based management.

Luiss students will be registered at Luiss during their time at BI Norwegian Business School and will continue to pay tuition fees at Luiss. Students will be exempted from paying tuition fees at BI Norwegian Business School.
