Overview

Porto Business School is a prestigious business school located in Porto, Portugal, with strong ties to the University of Porto and the corporate sector. It offers MBA, Executive Education, and master’s programmes in areas such as Leadership, Strategy, and Innovation. Recognized for its international accreditations (AMBA, AACSB, EFMD) and modern campus facilities.

Porto Business School (PBS) was founded in 1988 under the name Instituto Superior de Estudos Empresariais (ISEE). It later became Escola de Gestão do Porto (EGP), and after a series of transformations and partnerships with the University of Porto and companies, it adopted its current name in 2012.

PBS is particularly strong in its links with business — it was created as a joint initiative involving leading companies and the University of Porto. This governance ensures that its programmes are closely aligned with industry needs, combining academic rigor with corporate relevance.

The school offers a wide variety of programmes: MBAs, Executive Education, open and customized programmes, and postgraduate treatments in strategy, leadership, finance, marketing, innovation, and digital transformation. Many programmes are delivered in either English or Portuguese.

PBS holds triple accreditation (AMBA, AACSB, EFMD), placing it among top business schools in Europe. The campus infrastructure is modern, covering about 10,000 m², with state-of-the-art classrooms, auditoriums, library, and spaces for student life.
