ISEG introduced the new MiM in 2020, an innovative way for forward-thinking students and professionals to get a unique and full range experience in business management. If you want to make a difference in the corporate world, this is the course to take.
The MiM was built around the future of the workplace. It’s where you’re headed, after all. The master’s programme, accredited by the Agency for Assessment and Accreditation of Higher Education (A3ES), will place management in a more technological and digital world, requiring stronger analytical and quantitative skills.
Our intention is to develop a new generation of conscientious managers and leaders for all kinds of organisations. All course units were carefully designed to make you think about the overall future impact of decision-making in any organisation or company. And by embracing the 2030 Agenda of the United Nations and the 17 Societal Challenges summarised in the SDGs.
