Double Certification

Rome Business School Master’s Programmes are accredited by VIU – Universidad Internacional de Valencia which awards the students with 60 university credits (60 ECTS) and double certificate.

Credit transfer

The growing globalisation and professional mobility has led to a significant increase in students engaging in education across national borders. As a consequence, there is the need for academic institutions, evaluation agencies and employers to be able to assess the value of a particular qualification. A key principle in this process is that decisions on the value of a particular award, programme of study or part thereof are the responsibility of the receiving institution or organisation.

In order to ensure the highest possible standards of credit transfer, the Rome Business School has adopted the guidelines of the European Bologna process system based on ECTS credits.  The Bologna Process is a series of ministerial meetings and agreements between European countries designed to ensure comparability in the standards and quality of higher education qualifications.

Through the Bologna Accords, the process has created the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), in particular under the Lisbon Recognition Convention.

The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) is a standard aimed at comparing the study attainments and performances of higher education students across the European Union and other collaborating European countries. For each successfully completed study programme, ECTS credits are awarded. One academic year corresponds to 60 ECTS-credits, that are equivalent to 1,500–1,800 hours of study in all countries, respective of standard or qualification type, and is used to facilitate transfer and progression throughout the Union.
