What do our students think?

“The experience at RBS is essential for acquiring the critical skills that will enable me to support companies in their transition toward sustainable products, processes, and practices; in the creation of industrial symbioses focused on the circular economy; and in the implementation of new regulations that international bodies and governments will introduce in the years to come.”

Eleonora T. 

“On campus, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with a wide range of cultures, languages, and ideas, which personally inspired me. I must highlight the excellent work of the Career Services Department, which supported me from the very beginning to the end of my academic year, addressing my needs and helping me secure the job I was looking for.”
