Why Studying from Rome, Italy Can Accelerate Your Career

Rome is a nexus of international policy and development—with key UN agencies such as FAO, WFP, and IFAD headquartered here—alongside embassies, NGOs, and national ministries.

The capital is also home to major financial and corporate actors—from the Bank of Italy to leading banks and consultancies—interfacing daily with cross-border financing, capital markets, and trade. With an LLM focused on international commercial law, you can contribute to transactions that span multiple jurisdictions, advise on regulatory alignment, or shape policies that support sustainable growth.

Beyond government and finance, Rome’s vibrant sectors—technology and startups, aerospace and defence, energy and infrastructure, culture and tourism—are all driven by complex contracts, licensing, IP, data protection, export controls, and international distribution.
