STUDENTS TESTIMONIALS
"During the application process I conducted a lot of research and compared the relevant programs of many top European business schools. Key for my decision to pursue an Intl. MSc in Business Administration at CATÓLICA-LISBON was the compelling overall program structure and the international recognition this program offered. On the one hand I am able to build up a good foundation in general business administration subjects, on the other hand to deepen my knowledge in marketing, my specific area of interest. In addition, this program gives me the chance to gain more international experience during the exchange term at another leading business school.
Besides this, the university has excellent contacts in top consulting firms, and helps you develop personally and professionally with its Leadership Lab program. For me it was simply the best package, taking into account too that living in Lisbon is a wonderful experience."
Stephan Alexander Dreier, German, International MSc in Business Administration (Marketing) September 2009

"The CATÓLICA-LISBON and ESCP-EAP double degree was a remarkable experience! During the two years, I opened up new professional perspectives, discovered myself and experienced two of the best European business schools. At ESCP-EAP, where excellence prevails, the challenging environment pushes you to be even better everyday. Moreover, living in Paris is an amazing life experience. At the heart of luxury and style, Paris is a multi-cultural city where different religions, styles and cultures live in perfect harmony. Taking the Double Degree Program was for sure one of the most important academic and personal decisions of my life."
João Freitas, Double Degree CATÓLICA-LISBON and ESCP Europe, September 2007
-----
"I found the Masters extremely demanding in terms of time management and teamwork. Different backgrounds and personal schedules and skills must be balanced for delivering quality and timely output - this is a very valuable expertise for a business environment (i.e. working in a company). Also, the international component makes perfect sense in the globalized world we are living in and will have to work in - besides spending one semester abroad, the increasing number of foreign students in MSc classes also contributes to that experience, which I found very useful in terms of cross-cultural sharing and multinational networking.
Looking back and summing up all that I have done while in the IMScBA, I can conclude that it was, undoubtedly, a good option for me, as it made me feel more prepared and confident about starting my professional career."
Gonçalo Saraiva, Portuguese, Winner of Primus Inter Pares 2009, International MSc in Business Administration, September 2007
