Frequently Asked Questions
The Lisbon MBA Executive is meticulously crafted for ambitious leaders and high-potential professionals who have reached a pivotal moment in their careers, the transition from functional expertise to holistic, strategic leadership. We seek “change-makers” who typically bring a decade or more of experience to the table, though the foundational requirements are a minimum of 5 years of post-graduate professional experience and a Bachelor’s degree in any field of study. Whether your background is in the arts, sciences, or engineering, we value the unique expertise lens you bring to our diverse cohort.
Recognizing the intense demands on modern executives, our program is designed as a part-time, monthly immersion. By holding classes only once per month, we provide a flexible high-performance environment that allows you to balance a full-time career with elite academic rigor. This unique format makes the program accessible regardless of where you are based; whether you live in Portugal or travel from abroad for our
The Lisbon MBA Executive is intentionally designed for maximum professional impact with minimal disruption. Because our classes follow a part-time immersion format once per month (Thursday through Saturday), the program is built to be “work-compatible” for leaders based in Portugal or traveling from abroad.
On average, you should expect to dedicate approximately 10 hours per week to individual study and team-based projects outside of the monthly classroom sessions. While the hours are variable depending on each student’s background, your time will be focused on real-world practical cases, simulations, and group work rather than just traditional exams only.
Our faculty also understands that “life happens.” Because the curriculum focuses on practical application and real-world cases rather than only rigid academic testing, you have the flexibility to integrate your study hours into your specific life rhythm, whether that’s during a long-haul flight or after the kids are in bed. We don’t just teach management.
To better accommodate the complex schedules of professionals nowadays, we recently restructured our calendar to offer maximum flexibility and focus. Moving away from the traditional model of attending campus every two weeks, the program now follows a concentrated immersion format. Classes are held once per month in three-day blocks:Thursday, Friday, and Saturday -Full-day sessions from 09:30 to 17:45
For those traveling from outside Lisbon or managing heavy international travel schedules, this monthly cadence ensures you only need to coordinate your logistics once every four weeks, making the program truly “work-compatible” on a global scale. Recognizing that elite performance requires the right environment, the program is all-inclusive during campus days. We provide coffee breaks and lunches that serve a strategic purpose: they eliminate the “logistical noise” of finding meals, allowing you to maximize your time for high-level networking and peer-to-peer problem-solving.
