The American University of Rome turns classroom learning into career momentum.
Every semester we connect juniors, seniors, and qualified study‑abroad students with credit‑bearing internships across Rome’s corporate, nonprofit, cultural, and diplomatic sectors. The majority of AUR students complete at least one placement - many complete two.
