Welcome to the British School at Rome, Britain’s leading humanities research institute abroad and one of the most prestigious foreign academies in Rome.

The British School at Rome is a centre of interdisciplinary research excellence in the Mediterranean supporting the full range of arts, humanities and social sciences.  We create an environment for work of international standing and impact from Britain and the Commonwealth, and a bridge into the intellectual and cultural heart of Rome and Italy.

Our mission for over a century has been

“to promote knowledge of and deep engagement with all aspects of the art, history and culture of Italy by scholars and fine artists from Britain and the Commonwealth, and to foster international and interdisciplinary exchange.”

We do this through:

All who come to the British School at Rome (the BSR as its friends call it) find themselves transformed by the extraordinary level of exchange between disciplines, and many go on to the highest levels of professional achievement and recognition.

We celebrate here these achievements, and welcome you to begin to explore what the BSR does and has to offer, and how you can be a part of a very special place.

Christopher Smith,
Director of the BSR
