Católica Porto SBE rises 29 places in the management master's ranking

Jornal Económico15 September 2026 at 07:00

The Master's in Management at Católica Porto School of Business and Economics (Católica Porto SBE) rises 29 places in the Financial Times Masters in Management Ranking 2026, reaching 66th place worldwide. At the European level, the program ranks 54th, an improvement of 21 places compared to 2025. João Pinto, dean of Católica Porto SBE, stated that this recognition confirms the school's trajectory as a reference in management education at the national, European, and global levels, reflecting the school's commitment to academic excellence and training that generates real impact on society and organizations. It is in the Career Progress Rank, the criterion that measures the evolution of seniority and the size of organizations where alumni work between course completion and three years later, that Católica Porto SBE achieves its best result: 1st place worldwide, climbing seven more positions compared to last year's already excellent result. In the Salary Percentage Increase indicator, which assesses the salary progression of alumni between program completion and three years after graduation, the master's program achieves the best result among Portuguese schools in the ranking, with a 73% salary increase, significantly above the global average (42%) and the national average (53%). In the Value for Money indicator, which relates alumni salaries to the program's duration, tuition fees, and associated costs, Católica Porto SBE's Master's in Management reaches 28th place worldwide, an improvement of six places compared to the previous year and, also here, the highest ranking among Portuguese schools.

Why this matters

The master's program at Católica Porto SBE rose significantly in the Financial Times international ranking, now positioning itself among the top 100 in the world. This result is relevant for students seeking management programs in Portugal, as it indicates better professional returns for alumni, with a 73% salary increase above the global and national average. The school thus becomes a national reference in management education at the European and global levels.

Building for those who need it

Portugal faces a housing deficit of 300,000 homes accumulated over the last decade, with 59,000 pre-certified units that were not built in the last three years. The article argues that this situation is not the result of speculation or greed on the part of real estate developers, but rather of economic unviability caused by taxation (which represents approximately 40% of the final value of a home), by the unpredictability of licensing processes, and by excessive bureaucracy. The private sector argues that there is no alternative to private investment in a country where the public housing stock represents only 2% of the total, and that the tax reforms approved by the Government are beginning to address these problems, making it viable to build housing for middle-income families.
