The Masters of Nova Business School is the highest ranked of the Portuguese courses, at 19th place, up five on last year. According to officials there next year’s course will welcome 246 students, 41 percent of them from abroad.
Universidade Católica makes the list for the first time, ranking 26th thanks to its doing well on indicators such as alumni’s average salary, employability rate, and percentage of international professors.
The Masters at the Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa (ISCTE) is also in the list for the first time, in 40th place. That, officials at the institution said, is recognition of their efforts to make the course more
international.
Among factors that lifted ISCTE into the list were also the career progress made by its alumni - the fifth fastest of the 60 courses analysed by the FT.
