Master in Management (MIM)

In a world ever so competitive, young professionals are left to fend for themselves in attempts to learn what is needed and apply what is learned. Helping new graduates in this transition, the Master in Management offered at FGV EBAPE is one of a kind in Brazil today. With a relatively short duration and intensive learning, students can be assured to leave with notable skills meant to set them apart in the job market.

The Master in Management is the passport for students to reach exceptional business careers. The program provides a solid foundation in core management areas with a strong international perspective—students dive into the wonderful world of practical and theoretical knowledge. There are two possibilities:

• Regular Program Format: Classes and master thesis are done at FGV EBAPE;
• Double Degree Program Format: Classes are done both at FGV EBAPE and Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics (CLSBE) along with the master thesis.

All of this is accomplished by combining soft skills with applied learning by means of a project and a case-based methodology. Central to this value proposition is the expertise of highly qualified multicultural and multidisciplinary faculty members—English here is the first language.

The Master in Management Program is structured with two possible durations. The regular format has a maximum duration of 15 (fifteen) months and 21 (twenty-one) months for the Double Degree format. These deadlines include the Master´s Thesis defense.

The students can also choose between the General Management or Sustainability Management in Emerging Markets tracks. Each student must follow one of the tracks

For MIM students who choose the Double Degree Program, Católica-Lisbon offers five different alternatives, within programs and their specializations and majors.

For students undergraduate with no background in the areas of management, business administration, and/or economics:

• Master of Science in Business

For students undergraduate with a background in the areas of management, business administration, and/or economics:

• Master of Science in Management with Specialization in Strategic Marketing
• Master of Science in Management with Specialization in Strategy and Entrepreneurship & Impact
• International Master of Science in Management, majors em Marketing e-Strategy, and Consulting.

The students’ study plan will be prepared by the Católica-Lisbon academic coordination according to the program chosen by the students and the courses taken at FGV EBAPE.

• On-site observation of the challenges and opportunities faced by the private, public, and non-governmental organizations working on sustainability projects.
