*The pool of electives and labs can defer in each year and are finalized based on demand, changing trends and business dynamics. Electives and Labs represent credit weightage which contributes to the MBA qualification.

The Skill Labs are online and on campus laboratories: they are characterised by a highly experiential and practical methodological approach and aim to enhance soft skills and transversal skills.

The goal is to achieve an overview of the business scenario and to acquire useful tools for personal and professional growth. The Skill Labs provide applicable tools aimed at improving the skills and transversal competencies relating to academic and professional background, stimulating an overall vision of the business situation, and enhancing the skills useful to achieve a leadership position. Participants may choose from an array of Skill Labs that better fit their requirements among the pool proposed.

Field Project

During the final months of the Flex MBA, students apply the skills acquired during the programme to the Field Project.

Students work in groups on field projects, entrepreneurial projects or challenges within a company or a startup with certain definitive outcomes or objectives.

Although the programme carries a predominantly digital imprint, Luiss Business School opens its doors to Flex MBA students in order to touch base with faculty, students, and special guests. The 6 on-campus weekends are designed to boost networking to the fullest through a set of tailored activities including:

Ice-Breaking

Dedicated Labs
Cross MBAs’ Workshops

Moreover, Flex MBA candidates can also attend on‑campus some others didactic activities, based on their preferences, to fully benefit from the Luiss Business School campus experience and networking opportunities.
