“With an increasing market competition to ensure a successful career, our educational choices are now more relevant than ever. That’s why I chose the Double Degree program at CATÓLICA-LISBON with Bocconi University, in Milan. The solid academic foundation of these top tier universities, combined with the international exposure to new cultures and ways of thinking, contributed to a wider vision of my own reality as well as future ambitions. I had the opportunity to explore extra-curricular activities such as entrepreneurship and technology clubs. But what made this experience even better were all the different and unique people I connected with in these two inspiring cities. Currently, I’m working at Center for Disruption (C4D) at Deloitte Digital Portugal to create new disruptive businesses with focus on emerging technologies. And this is only the start, thanks to my learning experience at CATÓLICA-LISBON.“

"After I had completed my bachelor’s degree and subsequently taken a gap year to further gain work experiences, I chose to pursue my master’s degree at CATÓLICA-LISBON. The choice was quite quickly made, as I was looking for a unique study experience in an international environment with the opportunity to follow a double degree track. During my time at CATÓLICA-LISBON, I especially appreciated, besides the practice-oriented teaching style, the manifold internal as well as external (corporate) workshops. They were a great opportunity to further develop soft skills, put knowledge to the proof of real world situations and prepare for next career steps. My second year at ESCP was at least as much memorable as the first year in Lisbon. Both experiences let me expand on business knowledge and meet many like-minded people from all around the world, of which I count some few to my closest friends today. Looking back, I would do everything the same way again.”
Alexandra Dzimiera, Germany
Double Degree CATÓLICA-LISBON and ESCP Europe
"The Double Degree program was an obvious choice because it allowed me to combine CATÓLICA-LISBON's Finance program and ESCP's MiM program, as well as spend time in two great cities. The two-year program has offered me a stimulating coursework that has fully prepared me for the career that lies ahead. Now that I have started working in the industry, I feel that CATÓLICA-LISBON's Finance program has truly provided me with a strong knowledge base and great technical abilities. I completed CATÓLICA-LISBON's undergraduate studies and I'm proud to call it a second family. The people you'll meet at CATÓLICA-LISBON and ESCP will become some of your closest friends and the exposure to different nationalities and new experiences is unparalleled."

Double Degree CATÓLICA-LISBON and ESCP Europe
"Starting an international career has always been my ambition. In fact, nowadays, students can easily join in an international experience with the Erasmus program. However, finding professional opportunities to start a career in a foreign country is not as easy. The CATÓLICA-LISBON Masters gave me the opportunity to both complete my education following my area of interest and pursue an international path. Indeed, CATÓLICA-LISBON offered me a great chance to complete a double degree with ESCP Europe ranked by the Financial Times as the second best Business School for Masters in Management (2008). This experience has been most enriching. The quality of the teaching staff, the choice of courses provided and the differences in teaching methods were very important for my personal development.
In terms of the curriculum, being able to attend one of the best business schools worldwide is an opportunity that has facilitated my access to organizational environments and to an internationally recognized diploma. The double degree of CATÓLICA-LISBON with ESCP Europe has opened doors into a new world of relationships and perspectives that no one should miss. I am happy I didn't."
Ana Almeida, Portugal
