Católica Porto Business School's Executive MBA has once again been included in the QS Executive MBA Ranking (after 2023 and 2024), and has consolidated its presence among the best European and world MBA programmes in executive education. With more than two decades of existence, the programme has consistently established itself internationally, 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.
For the dean of Católica Porto Business School, João Pinto, this result "is a reflection of the school's commitment to maintaining high quality standards at international level, which guarantees participants training that is not only aligned with the values of ethics and sustainability, but also with the demands of the global market". João Pinto also adds that the position achieved "recognises not only the academic value of the programme but also the strong connection to the business fabric and the concrete reality of organisations".
The Executive MBA's performance has been marked by consistency and positive evolution in various evaluation indicators, including the diversity and profile of the participants, aspects that the school considers strategic for enriching the learning experience. "We value the plurality of experiences and professional backgrounds because we believe that learning is also built through sharing between participants", emphasises the vice-dean of Católica Porto Business School and head of Accreditations and Ranking, Paulo Alves.
The director of the Executive MBA, Luís Marques, emphasises that this international recognition is "a stimulus to continue evolving and innovating in the training offer" and reiterates the school's commitment to closely monitoring the development needs of each participant. "We want each professional who takes part in this programme to be able to maximise their career and their impact on organisations", he concludes.
Católica Porto Business School thus strengthens its ambition to consolidate a training offer of excellence guided by pedagogical innovation, academic rigour and a constant link to market dynamics while maintaining its commitment to preparing leaders capable of facing the challenges of a changing world.
