Bologna Business School (University of Bologna)
Bologna Business School (BBS) is the graduate business school of the University of Bologna — the oldest university in continuous operation in the Western world, founded in 1088. BBS was established in 2000 as Alma Graduate School and re-branded as Bologna Business School in 2014. The school awards degrees through the Università di Bologna and is structured as Fondazione Bologna University Business School.
BBS is located at Villa Guastavillani, a restored 16th-century residence in the Bolognese hills, ten minutes from the city centre. The campus brings together classrooms, labs, study rooms and common spaces inside the historic villa itself, blending Renaissance architecture with a modern executive-education environment.
The portfolio is organised in four families: Global MBA with five specialised tracks (AI and Manufacturing; Design, Fashion and Luxury Goods; Food and Wine; Supercars, Superbikes and Motorsports; Sustainability and Innovation); Professional Masters in management, finance, data science, AI, marketing, HR and sustainability; Executive Masters and the Executive MBA / Hybrid MBA in both Italian and English editions; and Open Programs for executives.
