Porto is once again featured in the Financial Times' Masters in Management 2025 ranking, with two management schools among the 100 best in the world. The Faculty of Economics of the University of Porto (FEP) reached 62nd place worldwide, climbing eight places from the previous year, reinforcing the international reputation of its Master's in Management, while Católica Porto Business School (CPBS) entered the prestigious ranking for the first time, occupying 95th place.
FEP's programme stands out above all for the rapid professional progression of its graduates, combining solid training in management with innovative and practical methodologies that respond to the demands of a global market. "This recognition reinforces our confidence that we are offering our students a transformative experience that broadens their opportunities and impact in the professional world," says Luísa Pinto, Director of the programme.
Católica's Master's, on the other hand, was particularly notable in the indicators of career progress (8th place worldwide) and salary increase (5th place ex aequo), with an average increase of 75% in graduates' salaries, the best result among Portuguese schools. João Pinto, the school's Director, emphasised that this distincion is a "recognition of the academic rigour and strong links with companies that characterise CPBS."
In addition to the Porto universities, the ranking also includes Portuguese institutions such as the Nova School of Business and Economics, the Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics, and the Iscte Business School.
With these five schools, Portugal ranks as the sixth most represented country in this global ranking, behind only powerhouses such as France, Germany, India, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The result highlights the growing competitiveness and quality of management education in the country, generally, and in Porto, particularly.
