First Year

Throughout the first year, we will provide you with a solid foundation in modern general management, through coursework in accounting, economics, finance, organizational behavior and marketing.

During the Leadership Stream Series, you will begin developing your self-awareness, team-building, and communication skills.
In addition, you have the option to participate in the International Trip during your first or second year of the program. Should you wish to participate in both, there will be an additional cost for the second trip.

In the third term, you will select your first elective courses from three different disciplines: Marketing, Finance or Management.

Second Year

During your second year of The Lisbon MBA Part Time you will tailor your MBA to align with your own career goals, choosing a greater number of elective courses according to those goals.

A focus on Career Development launches you in your job search or business plan presentations.

As a student of The Lisbon MBA Part Time, you will have the option to follow either the Evening or Weekend schedule according to your professional and personal needs.

Work-Life Balance

We understand that students are busy people with full-time lives and therefore we make every effort to ensure that The Lisbon MBA Part Time program is compatible with family life and personal commitments. While your coursework and projects will add time commitments and responsibilities to your plate, we support your pursuit of a healthy work-life balance and strive to accommodate your needs as much as possible.

Entrepreneurial Focus

Each year, The Lisbon MBA Part Time welcomes students who may already manage, or are in the process of launching, their own businesses. If you are one of these students, we offer you several resources to assist you in developing your entrepreneurial capabilities. These resources include coursework, networking opportunities, and the option to develop a business plan under the guidance of faculty during your second year in the program. The flexible program schedule will allow you to earn your degree while leaving time to continue building your business.
