For the third consecutive year, Católica Porto Business School is featured in the QS Business Masters Rankings, one of the most recognised international benchmarks for the evaluation of master’s programmes in Management and related fields.
Once again, the School’s Masters degrees in Management, Finance and Marketing have been distinguished, reinforcing the consistency and quality of its academic offering. This year’s edition assessed a significantly higher number of programmes compared to previous years, highlighting the relevance of Católica Porto Business School’s presence among leading institutions.
Among the indicators assessed, the School stands out particularly in the area of “Diversity”: the Master in Management is recognised for its strong gender diversity, both among students and faculty; the Master in Marketing also stands out, with particular emphasis on the international diversity of its student body; and the Master in Finance shows further progress in gender diversity among faculty members.
Another noteworthy dimension is “Value for Money”, where, for example, the Master in Management achieved above-average results, confirming the strong balance between the investment made and the professional returns estimated for graduates.
Beyond these indicators, all three programmes recorded improvements in their absolute scores compared to previous years, reflecting Católica Porto Business School’s continuous development and the progression of its programmes across multiple dimensions, including those related to students’ employability outcomes.
“Being included, for the third consecutive year, in leading international rankings such as the QS Business Masters Rankings is a source of pride and an external validation of the quality of Católica Porto Business School’s teaching. These results reflect our commitment to preparing leaders for a global, diverse, and constantly changing world,” emphasises Paulo Alves, Vice Dean of the School.
João Pinto, Dean of Católica Porto Business School, adds: “After seeing our Master in Finance and Master in Management ranked in the Top 100 of the Financial Times, the QS rankings further reinforce the excellence of our programmes. At the same time, I would stress that we go beyond management and finance: our Master in Marketing is also among the best in the QS Rankings, confirming the strength of our offering in this key area of specialisation.”
With this distinction, Católica Porto Business School strengthens its position among the management schools with the greatest international recognition, highlighting the academic excellence, diversity, and professional relevance of its programmes.
