Porto Business School (PBS) was founded in 1988 and has the second oldest MBA in Portugal. Now, the school is offering more MBA courses where people can learn about business subjects, being taught in either English or Portuguese.

Savana Pires, Head of International Development at Porto Business School, told The Portugal News that PBS “has trained entrepreneurs and the CEOs of some of the largest Portuguese companies in the country.” Also, the PBS has a specific governance model, due to “an active partnership between the University of Porto” and with some national and multinational companies.

An MBA or Master of Business Administrations is a course developed for executives or entrepreneurs, “who want to develop or strengthen their management skills.” During the courses, the students may contact “with other realities, namely in an international context.” An MBA will also enable “the development of cross-cutting skills, such as leadership.” The programmes will help the participants to build a career or improve the one they have already established.

Currently, PBS offers three different MBA courses: Executive MBA, International MBA and Digital MBA. All the course can be taught in English and have a duration between 12 and 36 months.

Everyone who wants to “acquire or consolidate knowledge in the field of management”, as well as consolidate “practice in business organisations” may participate in one of the programs.

For the Executive and International MBA, the tuitions fees cost €26,000, however the Digital MBA costs €21,000.

The PBS has been “consistently ranked by the Financial Times since 2011”, and MBA programmes have achieved AMBA, EFMD and AACSB accreditation. Porto Business School course are also in the Eduniversal Best Master Ranking 2021, among the greatest in the world. Sustainability is one of the main goals of PBS, having already received a LEED Gold Certificate by the US Green Building Council, meaning that it has “globally recognised” the achievement of PBS.
