Católica Porto Business School continues to feature in the QS Executive MBA Rankings, consolidating its position amidst growing international competition.
With over two decades of existence, the programme has consistently established itself on the international stage, reinforcing the prestige of a school that holds the three accreditations of excellence — EQUIS, AMBA and AACSB — known as the Triple Crown, a status achieved by less than 1% of business schools worldwide.
The main highlight is the quality of the participants’ executive profiles, with the programme ranking 78th globally in this indicator, out of 215 programmes assessed, a result significantly above the global average. This performance reflects the strength of the students’ professional experience and a growing presence of profiles with backgrounds in top-level positions.
For the Dean of Católica Porto Business School, João Pinto, “continuing to feature in this ranking reinforces the School’s positioning as an institution aligned with the values of ethics and sustainability, as well as with the demands of an increasingly competitive global market”.
The career progression of participants remains a key feature of the school’s Executive MBA, alongside a level of diversity that exceeds the global average, particularly in terms of gender balance.
For Paulo Alves, Vice Dean of Católica Porto Business School and Head of Accreditation and Rankings, “these results confirm the consistency of the work we have been carrying out and the School’s growing international recognition. It is a clear sign that we are consolidating our presence among employers and the academic community in a sustained manner”.
The Director of the Executive MBA, Luís Marques, emphasises that “participants who choose our programme are seeking a training experience with international recognition, but also one that has a real impact on their career path. Our inclusion in the QS ranking reinforces the consistency of this positioning, reflecting the quality of our students’ profiles, the relevance of our pedagogical model, and the programme’s ability to meet the demands of an increasingly complex and competitive global context.”
Católica Porto Business School thus reinforces its ambition to consolidate an educational offering of excellence, guided by pedagogical innovation, academic rigour and a constant connection to market dynamics, whilst maintaining its commitment to preparing leaders capable of facing the challenges of a changing world.
