The Lisbon Mba

Career services are considered helpful, particularly for those looking to switch industries or geographies. Opportunities for internships and company visits are available. However, career success heavily depends on individual initiative and prior experience. Some students find the post-MBA job market in Portugal limited, requiring them to look internationally or focus on entrepreneurship. Strong alumni network provides valuable connections and support.

Highly international and collaborative. Students come from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, fostering a global perspective. The program emphasizes teamwork and peer learning. Social events and club activities are integral to the experience, fostering a strong sense of community. A more laid-back, Portuguese culture is felt outside the classroom, which can be both refreshing and occasionally frustrating in terms of efficiency.
