Business Management

Objectives

The Master's in Business Management is designed for students with no prior training in Management, Economics or related fields. The course provides an integrated and comprehensive perspective on the main areas of an organisation, promoting the development of knowledge and skills in finance, production and operations, strategy, human resources and marketing. Additionally, it offers a wide range of optional courses, allowing students to tailor their academic path according to their interests and professional goals.

Operating Mode

Classes are on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. On Thursday, classes are on-line, starting at 6:30 pm and ending at 10 pm. On Friday and Saturday, students are expected to attend classes at the School of Economics. On Friday, classes start at 6:30 pm and end at 10 pm; on Saturday, classes are from 9.30 am until 1 pm. Assessments may take place on other days of the week, and the corresponding schedule will be made available at the beginning of the academic year.

The pedagogical strategies used in the master’s programme are varied and complementary, with emphasis on expository and participatory classes, the use of software applications, case studies, group work, seminars with invited specialists, and possible visits to companies or other organisations.

Assessment in all curricular units that make up the programme will be carried out through a combination of assessment components, which may include written or oral examinations, individual or group work, completion of exercises, case study resolution, in-class presentations, project design, or others.

Portuguese is the main working language of the programme. However, some of the recommended bibliography, as well as some materials used in classes, may be in English.
