About Luiss Business School’s Amsterdam Hub
The Luiss Business School’s Amsterdam Hub symbolizes the driving force behind the School’s international consolidation. It is dedicated to the development and delivery of the international programme portfolio with the aim of catering to the heart of Europe. In Amsterdam, Luiss Business School brings together training programmes, research, chairs and socioeconomic partnerships, and offers management-education programmes and courses ranging from specialized master’s programmes to executive education.
The building that houses the School dates back to around 1700 and is located on the southeast side of central Amsterdam. It was used as a monastery for more than 60 years (1921-1984) and has been owned by an ecclesiastical community since 1984. The building has been completely renovated with a high-quality finish. Monumental elements combined with a modern look-and-feel ensure an inspiring environment. The building’s imposing facade and entrance as well as its eighteenth-century garden dome make it the eye-catcher of the canal.
