OverviewWithin the context of the globalisation of markets and of competition, human resources are an ever more decisive factor of competitive advantage for both companies and non-profit organisations. With the progressive levelling of the fields of technological and process know-how, the individual is indeed the one true discriminating factor.

Ultimately, the individual’s competencies, motivations, innovation capabilities and overall professional performance quality determine an organisation’s success.

From such a perspective, companies and institutions must equip themselves with experts capable of both fully understanding the central role of the individual and of overseeing the related managerial processes, such as: selection, hiring, training, communication, development and compensation.

On the other hand, modern human resources professionals cannot neglect the international dimension that all activities are increasingly taking on and must therefore be able, for example, to understand and handle global organisations’ diversity management dynamics and complexity profiles.

Within this framework, the Rome Business School’s Master’s Degree course in International Human Resources Management is the ideal choice for all those who wish to excel as human resources professionals in the job market at the international level, providing all the necessary knowledge, operational competencies and professional and networking opportunities on a global scale.

Testimonials“My experience at the Rome Business School was rich, enthralling and stimulating.

Not only did the course enable me to develop professionally, but it proved to be a truly all-encompassing professional and cultural growth path, thanks to the high teaching quality and to the meetings held with international level personalities.

I would recommend an experience at the Rome Business School to anyone because it develops you and enables you

to create a future worthy of the name for yourself.

The methods adopted by the teachers are truly effective, as they invariably establish an active relationship with you, constructively alternating between the theory and the practical application of the concepts discussed in the classroom.

Flexibility is another strong point; the aspirations of all the students/workers attending the course are nurtured and developed with the aim of enabling them to increasingly analyse and develop themselves and their capabilities and to become fully aware of how to best employ them in the real world.”

Carolina Petracchiola, Rome

Not only did the course enable me to develop professionally, but it proved to be a truly all-encompassing professional and cultural growth path



“My experience at the Rome Business School was very positive, primarily because its environment is unlike any that might be encountered at any other school. The discriminating factors are to be found in the excellent faculty body and in the many opportunities for internationalisation on offer at the Rome Business School.

I would strongly recommend it.”

Emanuel Luongo, Entrepreneur, Rome

“I came, I saw, I was taught how to conquer and... I did! All this thanks to the Rome Business School. The Rome Business School literally transformed and improved me. Today, if I can boast of successfully running a business in my home country - Nigeria - it is also thanks to the Rome Business School’s multicultural teachings. I had always believed that it would be impossible to get a job without previous work references but, today and thanks to all the competencies acquired with the many Rome Business School labs, I no longer do. Getting the job of my dreams was as easy as snapping my fingers, thanks to the managerial competencies I acquired at the Rome Business School.”

Humphrey Akanazu, Consultant, Nigeria

“As a non-EU student, attending the Rome Business School’s training courses was a great opportunity to open a window upon the European financial situation, the market and management, becoming aware of the managerial highs and lows of this continent.

As far as I am concerned, the Rome Business School’s pragmatic and highly reality-focused approach made my experience useful and effective. The best testimonial to the

Rome Business School’s International perspective is the mixed composition of the classes, which allows students and teachers of different nationalities to exchange views and experiences.”

Seyed Mostafa Mohammadi, Teacher, Iran
