It is the spirit of this school to foster talent, in all its shapes and forms. I feel lucky to have come here and meet inspiring teachers, who pushed me to test my own limits and to reinvent myself repeatedly - way beyond any classroom. Though, don't think for a minute that you just sit back and enjoy the ride. The professors are permanently challenging, demanding, and sometimes pushy and stubborn. But that's exactly what puts us on top of our games. And in every competition, every speech or interview, they stand beside us, supportive when things don't go well, and genuinely happy when celebrating with us.

In the current economic environment our clients are demanding much more of us. Now more than ever, A.T. Kearney must look for the best and the brightest—those who combine academic brilliance with soft skills such as entrepreneurship, intellectual curiosity, teamwork ability and leadership potential. And we’re confident that we can turn to FCEE-Católica to find those people, as we’ve been doing ever since we first opened our office in Portugal in 1997.

We recruit the students of Católica’ MSC because we look for candidates who want more: “more business, more ambition, more global and more passion…”, students with their own personality, ideas and imagination…to build the future of the Group with their own future. The MSc gives the possibility to the students to learn from open minded Professors who are willing to work in partnership with the companies. And that’s one of the strongest points of this Master - it gives the students the possibility to learn not only in terms of intellectual and theoretical knowledge but to learn according to the real marker trends, the business, building their growth and future according to what will be needed in the real world. This, along with the individual follow-up that Católica provides to their students allows each one of them to develop their own personality and ideas to become the “leaders of tomorrow” – creative, entrepreneurial, international, open-minded and willing to take risks with enthusiasm.

O Programa de Estágios de Verão do DEC proporcionou-me um primeiro contacto com o mundo da consultoria estratégica e da assessoria financeira através da CA Consult. As competências de gestão desenvolvidas durante o curso revelaram-se amplamente adequadas ao trabalho exigido nas áreas de consultoria e estruturação, montagem e negociação em projectos de Fusões, Aquisições e Alienações de Empresas, Joint-Ventures, Private Equity, Gestão de Balanço e Gestão de Risco. Por outro lado, a conjugação do meu background financeiro com a experiência na CA Consult permitiu conferir à minha dissertação de mestrado uma vertente mais prática dos problemas reais do sector bancário.

The FCEE-Católica and ESCP-EAP double degree was a remarkable experience! During the two years, I opened new professional perspectives, discovered myself and experienced two of the best European business schools. At ESCP-EAP, where excellence prevails, the challenging environment pushes you to be even better everyday. Moreover, living in Paris is an amazing life experience. At the heart of luxury and style, Paris is a multi-cultural city where different religions, styles and cultures live in perfect harmony. Taking the Double Degree Program was for sure one of the most important academic and personal decisions of my life.

During the application process I conducted a lot of research and compared the relevant programs of many top European business schools. The key for my decision to pursue an Intl. MSc in Business Administration degree at Católica was the compelling overall program structure and the international recognition this program offered. On the one hand I am able to build up a good foundation in general business administration subjects, on the other hand to deepen my knowledge in marketing, my specific area of interest. In addition, this program gives me the possibility to gain more international experience during the exchange term at another leading business school. Besides this, the university has excellent contacts to top consulting firms, and helps you to develop personally and professionally with its Leadership Lab program. For me it was simply the best package, taking also into account that living in Lisbon is a wonderful experience.

Having studying at an Australian and German University while my undergraduates, I was looking for something different again. I wanted to study at a place where I get offered top education for affordable fees as well as can just enjoy studying.

When I arrived in Lisboa, my Buddy "Rui Costa" was already waiting for me at the airport. He drove me home and invited me for my first lunch in Portugal.

I was surprised how friendly the people and the stuff are and that we got several opportunities to meet the Dean of the University and Coordinator of the Master programs. He even gave me a ride to the opening session and supported us to develop our study plans. So why is this worth to mention this? All universities I studied before promised the same but this was the first university that really holds its promise.

Other reasons to prefer FCEE-Catolica are its international orientation and partnerships as well as its ranking position that reflects the education quality and acceptance.

I've been always passionate about Marketing and when I saw Catolica's Msc program I knew it was the right one for me - as I would have the opportunity to learn with great teachers in one of the best schools in Portugal. I didn't take my undergradute degree in Catolica but that didn't make any difference, as I was given all the support I needed when joining the school.

The courses are great for those wanting to work in Marketing and I actually learned what I will need to know when working in a real company; but even more importantly, Catolica gives you the chance to be part of those companies. When I enrolled in Trust by Danone and L'oreal Brandstorm I was only looking for a chance to play a real business game. In the end these games turned out to be a lifetime experience. The exceptional teachers following all the phases of the competitions and all the support the school was giving to the teams allowed us to win both of them and to represent Portugal Internationally.

The Career Office was also very important when helping me to find the best Internship, giving me all the advice crucial when you are starting your career. I will start working in Marketing in L'Oreal Paris, in a conjoint Internship in which I can develop my thesis. I can absolutely say that one year ago I couldn't even imagine how useful the Msc program would be for my professional life, but I am happy to see I have made the right choice joining Catolica's Msc program.

When I entered Católica I had two ambitious goals: learning from a top Business Administration program, and being on the top in the equestrian sport, which I practiced since childhood. I knew from the start that it would be difficult to pursue both, and expected that most people may not understand my passion. That’s where I got a surprise: the professors and students have close relationships, and not only got support, I was encouraged to pursue my ambitions. I found really good friends among classmates and professors, who rooted for me in my competitions and in my life.

So, today my knowledge is enriched in one of the best programs in management, and I am the first of the ranking in my sport. And what is more important than all that –I got lifetime friendships, and really, a second "family" in Católica!
