Rome Business School - David1477 - 05-07-2024
Hi guys, I came across this Masters in Finance program: https://romebusinessschool.com/master-in-finance/#program
They also have lots of other online business masters in English.
Rome Business School appears as #23 for best online MBA in Europe in this ranking: https://www.topmba.com/online-mba-rankings-emea?page=1
Is this a somewhat respected ranking, or a complete no-name site?
Tuition for the whole degree seems to be a little under 7k Euros.
I found this about their accrediation: https://romebusinessschool.com/accreditation/
It seems like the International University of Valencia validates the degrees and gives the ECTS.
They also seem to have some partnerships with what I would believe are somewhat respected universities (Pace University in New York and EAE Business School in Spain)

Is this just a really fancy version of ENEB that invested more in proper marketing and partnerships, or is this an actual (normal) Masters program?
The site and internet presence definitely look a lot more respectable than ENEB with it's 1 test for a whole (or multiple) masters degree(s)... but if it's still a sketchy and not very legit degree it's surely not worth 7k.
I remember that one of the top business schools in Europe from Spain also just hands out professional masters like ENEB does but counts as a great business school and people pay lots of money for it. Is this something similar to this: a respected and good business school but with a somewhat shitty (half-accredited) degree?
I hope someone knows more about this institution/their programs.

I do not see any accreditation as an academic degree from this place you mention. Does not appear in ANABIN (at least in the public available version) which is the German related academic recognition webpage, but are several centers that does not appear there. I never heard of it either.
I hope somebody can help you more.

@David1477, great questions, in addition to what was mentioned by Kab... I wouldn't even bother with them at all, skip this one. "Is this a somewhat respected ranking, or a complete no-name site?" Skip them, no name site that even ENEB was on the list before.
"It seems like the International University of Valencia validates the degrees and gives the ECTS." Exactly like ENEB and others as well.
"Is this just a really fancy version of ENEB that invested more in proper marketing and partnerships, or is this an actual (normal) Masters program?" Yes, a very expensive version of ENEB. "Is this something similar to this: a respected and good business school but with a somewhat shitty (half-accredited) degree?" It's like the other DBA/Doctoral options we have talked about, many are the same price as this provider who is actually asking for more Euro but for a Masters instead.

Which website is this? They're not properly accredited, I tried on the following site and searched from 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and still can't find the Rome institution at all... https://www.topuniversities.com/mba-rankings/global
