Porto Business School is the result of an active partnership between The University of Porto ( one of the largest and best-ranked Portuguese universities) and 36 companies, national and international. This combination allows the School to balance between the quality and rigour of the academy and the real corporate world turning Porto Business School into a true lab to explore how to best apply top notch management concepts to the real business world.

In addition, Porto Business School’s international partnerships with other top business schools such as London Business School, IMD, IE or Carnegie Mellon University, reinforce the global vision of our education and provide an opportunity for programme participants to develop cross-cultural skills while experiencing other faculty, organisations, and business contexts.

The School’s mission is to improve the quality of management through advanced education at postgraduate level, custom programmes for organisations, corporate partnerships, applied research and consultancy. It has a wide range of Executive Masters and two MBA programmes: the Executive MBA and the Magellan MBA, both internationally accredited by AMBA and EFMD – European Foundation for Management Development (EPAS/EFMD). Since 2016, The Magellan MBA is running with 2 classes per year, in Portugal (Porto Business School) and in Germany (GISMA Business School).

With a consistent presence in the Financial Times rankings since 2011, Porto Business School is one of the best European Business Schools and one of the top 30 business schools when it comes to Custom and Open Executive Education.
