Best MBA's in the World

Much more practical and management oriented than the usual masters , but also more expensive, Master in Business Administration ( MBA ) has gained fame among the Portuguese , especially those who move in the area of business management. National schools have been adding role out there today and compete with the best international examples of success in the field of executive education .

But beware , the time to invest in MBA , some factors you should consider . After a thorough analysis of their real motivations to undertake an MBA tries to know the background that will attend the school , its faculty , the seniority of the course and associated companies . This first screening is the best filter to test the quality of each of the options you are considering . Especially because as important as performing an MBA is to achieve it in good school with good teachers and content and diversity of courses among students.

The Catholic Lisbon School of Business & Economics appearing in the Financial Times ranking as one of the 50 best schools in the world for executive education , occupying the 43th position. In the British newspaper table also contained two other national schools : the New School of Business and Economics ( Nova SBE ) which occupies the 58th position and Porto Business School that went directly to the 68th place .

In the world of MBA there are options for all tastes and budgets . You can perform training in full-or part -time , at national or international territory , or to enjoy the best of both worlds and attend the program , dividing between two schools of management in Portugal and in another country .

But even choosing not to leave Portugal , contact with international component is more than right. Is that Portuguese schools have been gaining an increasing number of international students . The The Magellan MBA from Porto Business School is an example .

" The Porto Business School emphasizes the diversity of students' previous training in order to maximize the experience of interaction between students . The added factor that , in the case of full-time MBA , the interest to also join the cultural diversity that is present in shows like The Magellan MBA , where two-thirds of the students are foreigners, " explains Fernando Teixeira dos Santos , coordinator of the program . The person recognizes that diversity enriches the experience , even indoors .

To foster this internationalization , The Lisbon MBA , an initiative of the New School of Business & Economics and Catholic - Lisbon School of Business & Economics and MIT Sloan School of Management , established a partnership with the Institute of Education and Research ( Insper ) of São Paulo , and Fudan University in Shanghai , in order to stimulate coorperação between students and teachers MBA Portuguese , Brazilians and Chinese who , under the International Labs , develop consulting projects in a real work environment . At first sight the teams perform fieldwork in Brazil or China and then go to monitor firms in the distance .

With the internationalization increasingly present in companies , business schools are shaping their MBA 's to increasingly global models . The choice between Portuguese and foreign universities is wide and is not made easier by the increasing quality of these courses ( see " From Portugal to the world " ) .

But whether it decides to head abroad or stick around to accomplish this training , expect a fully focused on internationalization photo , either by colleagues of different nationalities or the bet in periods of immersion in increasingly common foreign schools among Portuguese courses .
