A Management degree builds a strong foundation in a wide variety of fields including business, finance, economics and marketing. It develops students’ understanding of business practices, structures, business theory, business strategy and research as well as global economies and financial markets. Doing a Management Degree also allows students to gain skills that enable them to work with financial and numerical data effectively.
Management degrees cover different managerial roles, such as Human Resource (HR) management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. They can be specialized into one of the areas mentioned above or follow a more general approach that covers most of these areas.
The range of management degrees is huge and includes Business Management, Management, Marketing Management, etc. They are predominantly offered in the business departments/business schools/management schools of different universities.
One of the main benefits of this degree is that Management is a broad discipline, which keeps students’ career options open.
Management degrees could have a very practical focus, which is an opportunity for students to gain experience in the process of completing their degree before having started their professional careers. Management courses usually offer work placements and practical modules, which include business simulations and business creation in a simulated environment. Acquiring practical experience through these opportunities could make students stand out from the crowd in the job market once they graduate. Research-oriented Management degrees also exist for those who prefer the theoretical aspects of such a degree. Most courses, however, have established a good balance between theory and practice in order to meet the needs of all students.
Management degrees also prepare students to serve the managerial role across a wide range of areas, including HR management, hospitality management, innovation management, operations management, etc. Students can specialize in one particular area or focus on gaining knowledge across all of these areas thanks to the high availability of different management courses.
Additionally, there is a high demand for management professionals in the contemporary business world. Therefore, taking a management course is an opportunity for students to kick-start their careers and occupy a higher position in the organizational hierarchy.
Management courses usually begin by introducing students to different areas covered by the managerial role, such as organizational management, business environment, statistics, accounting and finance, business growth, etc. After the first year, institutions allow students to explore the management discipline into more depth by delivering specialized modules and offering optional modules, which enable students to choose subjects that interest them the most and are most relevant to their career aspirations.
Management degrees take 3 years to complete in the UK. However, their duration could extend to 4 years if students choose to spend a year in industry between their second and third year, which is a popular option among the student community. Setting placement opportunities apart, the duration of a Management degree depends on three main factors – country, mode of study (part-time or full-time) and degree level. Below are listed the approximate durations of Management degrees in the most popular countries for Higher Education in Europe:
Some teachers don’t care at all about the students, they just care about finishing their lecture program.
The university as a very poor network connection through the entire campus.
On the other hand, I enjoyed the program since you had one work assignment and one exam, only if you had under 7,5 you fail
I like the teachers, the infrastructure and the quality of teaching.
I dislike the fact of too many pigeons near the microwave and eating zone.
Also, the location is good because is near deverão transports.
My experience was very positive. All the subjects were well taught and the teachers were good overall. The facilities are normal for a university, which is also good. Regarding student life, there are always parties and events going on. The university is also very international, there are students of all nationalities and they are always well received and well integrated.

View moreIscte Business Schools undoubtedly stands out for its academic and social life. Any student can have the feeling of home when on the campus, among with the other students, and there is strong support between the entire student community, whether in studies or in adapting to university life.
Our business school is well recognised worldwide, and it has been growing on world rankings. Besides the good environment that the school provides, professors are also well prepared and they always promote a close relation with their students, in order to satisfy their needs without any constraints.
The school’s fees, in general, are not that expensive when it comes to bachelor programmes, since it’s a public university – with values around 700 euros per year. The location of the school is perfect, right in the heart of academic life in Lisbon, next to our university city campus. There are a lot of transport and places to visit, eat or just have a walk.
The course, in general, is a little bit difficult, but possible, and with a final feeling of actually knowing what you have studied, which is great for our professional path.
My experience there was and still is one of the best surprises I had, I met my best freinds there, I really like my course, and I just feel good there. It just feels right.
View moreWhen finishing my master’s in this university, I had zero support from teachers on thesis conclusion, for which I paid very well. After filling a paid-for request for extending the delivery deadline again I received zero response. On my personal experience, after you’ve finished paying your tuition here, they will basically just ignore you.
View moreISCTE-IUL is greatly known for the quality of its professors, professionals and the utterly interesting subjects students are provided with. Moreover, ISCTE’s student life is also one of its differentiating points.
View moreISCTE is one of the best universities in Portugal. It has a lot of choice in programmes but the professors still are a little bit oldschool. Anyway if you want to have a good academic social life and a nice degree at the end of three years, this is your best choice.
View morePractical classes, good campus and environment. Very helpful teachers with very practic knowlodge. Amazing places to study on the campus, very international environment. Huge enrolment of the students with the university’s activities.
View moreISCTE is a great choice for all aspiring managers. It has a great atmosphere and conviviality among the students. It’s not like other colleges that only encourage the academic side of things. And it has one of the best locations of all business and economics colleges, right in the center of Lisbon, situated in the university city, next to several different colleges.
ISCTE promotes a lot of socializing with its famous freshman reception parties (One of the best in the country) and the usual activities. Even for people who are not interested in the usual, I recommend going to the first day at least (That’s what I did) in order to get to know your future colleagues from your year and above.
The most positive note I draw from my ISCTE experience was the bet on younger teachers. These create a closer relationship with the student and teach in a simpler and less boring way.
It also has an excellent platform called ibsnetworking where students can submit their curriculum so they can find good internships or even job offers from major national and international companies.
In short, I highly recommend ISCTE!
