Locations To Search Around LUISS

LUISS students can look for part-time work around:

• Parioli and the areas near LUISS campuses
• Trieste and Nomentano
• Termini and central Rome
• Prati and business-office areas
• Trastevere and tourism-heavy areas
• Shopping streets and malls across Rome

Students should calculate commute time carefully. Rome traffic and transport delays can make a job less practical if shifts end late or clash with classes.

Work Rights For International Students

Students should remember:

• Work rights depend on visa and residence-permit conditions.
• Non-EU students with a study permit are commonly limited to 20 hours per week and 1,040 hours per year.
• EU students generally have broader work access, but normal employment rules still apply.
• Students should not exceed permitted hours.
• Paid work should be declared through a proper contract.
• Self-employment or freelance work may involve different rules and tax obligations.
• Internships may follow different university and legal procedures.

Italian Language Advantage

Rome has international employers and English-speaking environments, but many part-time jobs still require Italian. Students who improve Italian before arrival and during the first semester will usually have more options in retail, hospitality, offices and local internships.

Students with limited Italian can still explore roles linked to English tutoring, international events, student support, content work or campus activities, but these options are more competitive.

Tips To Get A Part-Time Job Faster

• Prepare a one-page CV before arrival.
• Keep both English and Italian versions where possible.
• Apply early in the semester before roles fill up.
• Ask LUISS career services about student-friendly opportunities.
• Visit cafes, shops and restaurants with a printed CV.
• Be realistic about shifts, commute and exam periods.
• Do not depend on part-time income for tuition fees.
• Keep payslips, contracts and work-hour records.

Part-time work can help with living costs and confidence, but students should budget for tuition, rent, food, transport, visa costs and emergency expenses before arriving for the September 2026 intake.
