Católica Porto Business School The Pulse Rankings

Católica Porto Business School ranked the Executive MBA and three of its master’s programmes among the world's best in the QS rankings. For the Dean of Católica Porto Business School, Rui Soucasaux Sousa, "complementing the School's triple international accreditation (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA), the entry in the QS rankings is a clear sign of the excellence of our programmes".

1. CATÓLICA PORTO BUSINESS SCHOOL’S EXECUTIVE MBA WAS ONE OF THREE EXECUTIVE MBAs DISTINGUISHED IN PORTUGAL BY THE QS EXECUTIVE MBA RANKING 2023.

The QS Executive MBA ranking is among the three most influential global rankings. The MBA programme at Católica Porto Business School scored particularly well and had a high score in some of the indicators used for its overall evaluation, namely the increase in the average salary of its participants after completing the programme and the management experience and diversity of its participants.

Luís Marques, Director of the Executive MBA at Católica Porto Business School, underlines "it is gratifying to be recognised for the integrated vision that we seek to provide to our students. A vision of demand in acquiring new knowledge, with strong contact with specialists in each area, reconciling with family and professional life, on a campus of excellence and developing human skills with follow-up beyond the normal duration of the MBA".

2. MANAGEMENT, FINANCE AND MARKETING WERE THE THREE MASTER'S PROGRAMMES AT CATÓLICA PORTO BUSINESS SCHOOL, RANKED AMONG THE BEST IN THE WORLD ACCORDING TO QS BUSINESS MASTER'S RANKINGS.

The QS Business Master's Rankings are also among the most influential global rankings to distinguish the best master's programmes globally. In the QS Business Master's Rankings, the School stands out in indicators such as the diversity of students and teaching staff, the impact of the research, and the salary level graduates achieve at the start of their careers.

"Being part of the QS Business Master's Rankings is a validation of the investment we have made in strengthening the Católica Porto Business School’s teaching staff and also demonstrates the quality of the students who complete their master's degrees here," emphasises Gonçalo Faria, Associate Dean for Graduate & Executive Education and Engagement. And, he adds, "it will make our programmes even more attractive to our future students". 

It is the first time that these CPBS programmes are in the QS Rankings, and Rui Soucasaux Sousa believes that the school's ambition is to continue consolidating the international reputation of its programmes.
