The Master's Degree in Business Sciences is an excellent degree that combines academic rigor with innovative practical approaches, preparing professionals to work in the administration of small, medium and large companies.
Structured with a multidisciplinary approach and designed especially for students whose 1st cycle training is distinct from the areas of economics and management, the program offers a solid foundation for the creation and development of sustainable and impactful projects.
It is a demanding and challenging program where students are encouraged to explore new ideas, solve complex problems and work in teams, developing essential skills to lead in a complex and constantly changing environment. More than an academic qualification, it is a commitment to excellence, personal growth and preparation to be an agent of change in society, for those who seek to turn ideas into reality.
The MCEMP is recognized for the excellence of its teaching and scientific rigor that invests in the development of its students' knowledge, skills, and civic responsibility.
The Master selects candidates willing to take risks and enter an intense and demanding program. It is held in a Portuguese school with great tradition and prestige, with an optimistic vision of those who think it is possible to build a better future.
The students come from different countries and educational institutions, which promotes diversity and broadens the individual network.
The skills that the student acquires considerably enhance the employability conferred by their degree. For those who are employed, it provides access to a wide range of up-to-date references that are useful in the operational and strategic decisions of the organization.
The course helps develop a culture of demand, rigor, and quality, becoming a differentiating factor and a means of creating and consolidating knowledge.
Our students are faced with daily challenges to stimulate their efforts in teamwork, information gathering and analysis, time management, study and presentation skills, and integration of knowledge from different and complementary universes.
The program is an enriching academic experience that allows the creation of an integrated and responsible vision of the economy and society. It is also an important space for personal development, where students have participated in volunteer actions and other extracurricular activities important for their training as future managers.
The faculty is experienced and has a close link between the academic side and the business reality.
This master's degree is aimed at graduates in any scientific area, preferably other than management or economics, who hold management positions or have the potential to take on such positions soon.
