A bridge for ideas

The Venice School of Management promotes internationalisation as a primary commitment to integrating a global, comparative, and intercultural perspective into teaching, research, and institutional relations. This vision aims to shape competitive graduates prepared to enter both national and international labor markets successfully. Our mission values cultural exchange as a vital driver for innovation and positive social impact. 

The academic offering reflects this international openness through Bachelor’s, Master’s, and PhD programmes taught entirely in English, enriched by Summer Schools and Double Degree agreements with leading European and global business schools. Students also benefit from extensive mobility and internship opportunities abroad, participating in Erasmus+, Overseas programmes, and initiatives organized by the Ca' Foscari School for International Education and Venice International University. 

Supported by a wide global network of partners, we provide a dynamic ecosystem that combines academic excellence, intensive summer programs, and highly engaging growth pathways designed to meet the evolving demands of today’s professional landscape.

Our approach

We support our flourishing global community of students in their path towards their future, by welcoming people from all over the world and promoting dialogues among students with different backgrounds and from different countries, to share new perspectives and generate new ideas. The educational model we apply primarily aims to prepare managers and entrepreneurs for the national and international market providing effective knowledge, skills and abilities to live and work in an interconnected and global society.

To provide and manage a world-class educational offer, our faculty has a strong international background, both in terms of experience and research, and productive international relationships. In addition to this, we have qualified staff fluent in English.

University partnerships and related mobility opportunities are constantly growing, and are continuously monitored with the intensification of collaborations. The selection criteria for outgoing students are selective and based on academic career achievements.

nternationalisation is mainly expressed through two action points, that are in constant evolution and in close correlation:

  • Internationalisation abroad
    Mobility of students, faculty and staff worldwide.
    By providing several mobility opportunities to infuse a global and intercultural perspective into all its activities, and to expose students and faculty to a committed and engaging international context.
     
  • Internationalisation at home
    A multicultural and inclusive top-level business education on campus.
    By creating a multinational and diverse environment within our home campus, hosting international top and early-career scholars, organising international workshops and conferences, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for our non-national students, and using technology to bring the best managerial education back home to those in our campus.
