What is an MBA?

Master of Business Administration (MBA) is an internationally recognized degree, which has become one of the most popular professional degree programs in the contemporary world. MBAs are mostly taught in English and prepare students for careers in business and management by helping them develop technical managerial and leadership skills. Students develop these skills by working on real-world consulting projects and exploring different areas of the business field. The core subjects studied as part of an MBA program include accounting and finance, economics, marketing and operations. MBA programs usually offer students the opportunity to pick optional subjects as well, which allows students to dive deeper into areas that interest them the most and are relevant to their career aspirations.

Higher Education Institutions that offer MBA programs are highly likely to require students to have completed an internship at an organization or to have a few years of professional work experience.

Executive MBAs are also available at Institutions globally. They are different from the traditional MBA because they are aimed specifically at individuals who have extensive professional experience.

Benefits of an MBA

Having graduated with an MBA degree students have a wide choice of career options. They can find employment across different industries in both the public and private sectors and are not strictly limited to a career in business. MBAs also provide students with the opportunity to explore different business functions, such as accounting, operations, marketing, etc., and understand how each of them works. This increases their resilience and flexibility and enables them to work in different departments of an organization.

Throughout their programs, students gain practical experience and valuable skills as well as tackle challenges faced by business professionals in a real-world business setting by working on consulting projects. They develop important skills and knowledge thanks to the collaborative work with classmates which is common in MBA programs.

MBA programs also offer multiple opportunities for students to expand their network. Meeting people who they may collaborate with in the future creates many professional opportunities, such as finding a new job, transitioning to another industry or starting a business.

Additionally, the completion of an MBA degree is a prerequisite for quicker career progression and higher salaries. Individuals become more likely to land jobs high up in the organizational hierarchy, such as executive positions, or find employment abroad by completing an MBA degree program.

Last but not least, there are numerous part-time and online MBA degree programs, which offer high flexibility. Such programs enable individuals who are currently developing their professional careers to fit their studies into their busy schedules. Students on such programs are able to do the required work at the most convenient time and place for them without having to commit a full year (or two) to their studies. Sometimes MBA programs may be offered in the form of a hybrid between online and on-campus delivery, which provides the best of both worlds. Students enjoy the flexibility of an on-line program but also get that on-campus experience.

MBA Structure

The average duration of a full-time MBA program is 18 months (or about 2 years). However, 1-year MBA programs are gaining popularity around the world. It is important to note that the duration of MBA programs may be largely influenced by the mode of study (part-time or full-time) and the type of the program (e.g. online or hybrid).

The traditional MBA is followed by EMBAs, which take 20 months to complete, and professional MBAs, which take 26 months to complete.

    Quality

    Location of the uiversity as it is in Lisbon. The professor’s quality is another good point, most of them have a great curriculum outside of the university. The most important is that this university is open to international students creating a good environment to study and share experiences.

    Experience and Knowledge

    ISEG is a well known university be it national or international, which has more than 100 years of history.
    So my expectations were very high, regarding my MBA frequency.
    I must be honest, that in the overall, I think that ISEG is very well prepared and organized, and their academic offer is quite interesting and complete.
    In specific terms of the MBA, I think it can be improved in terms of schedule organization; in some soft skills disciplines, the content didn’t match my expectations at all; and the duration of the hard skill disciplines should be enlarged.
    What I like most in this experience is the possibility to know other students, from different nationalities and others backgrounds. The richness that relies on that, is amazing.
    Although, there are things that have to change or get better, I would recommend to my friends, or family to do a MBA in ISEG.

    Good, safe and classic option

    ISEGs international executive MBA is a good and safe option if you compare the benefits vs costs among the other known options in the market (Catolica and Nova). The education approach is classic, nothing that would blow your mind but you will end the programme having a more macro and wider perspective, knowing a couple of good professors and cool people in your class.The pros: Location, facilities, in average it is not so time demanding and cool students from different backgrounds that will enrich your experience. Extras: You will find a couple of good professors. And the cons: Too many theoretical classes (the professor is the protagonist of the class, not the students), a couple of professors with a limited level of English and they value hard skills way more than soft skills.

    Great Business School

    ISEG is one of the business schools with the greatest tradition and importance in Portugal. It has a staff of highly qualified teachers with important positions in the country. Particularly speaking, the MBA is characterized by a very complete and comprehensive curriculum of subjects and a good balance between soft and hard skills. Additionally, the price is very competitive taking into account the accreditations is that it currently has and that other MBAs cost twice as much with a very similar program. In general terms, I recommend this business school for people who are interested in developing management skills and obtain solid financial knowledge.

    The professors group quality

    My opinion is that the school has much to offer consider the quality of the professors. Most of the hard skills are taught by professors with phd in Administration or by people very outstanding in their own fields.
