Management (MiM)

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.

If you want to know more about ISEG’s Master in Management (MiM), let us help you:

After my BSc in Economics, I wanted to pursue my academic studies in Management in Portugal, and the choice to undertake the MiM program at ISEG was clear. ISEG is recognized on an international level as one of the most prestigious business schools. Also, the MiM program is focused on sustainability, an important theme due to the current reality of our world, which will allow us, future managers, to be better prepared to make conscious and impactful decisions. The variety of course units addressed throughout the study plan and the challenging and international environment of classes, allowed me to develop essential skills and broaden my knowledge. The amazing experience I take with me is something that I recommend to anyone who wants to grow as a person and professional.

Carolina Freitas

Firstly, because it gave me the opportunity to acquire new working tools, some of which I immediately put into practice, successfully, with my co-workers, and which I then generally ‘revisit’ periodically as needed. Secondly, because I was able to compare myself with other people from completely different realities than mine, thus gaining new insights and new perspectives on common problematic situations. Why participate in MiM? It’s like shedding more light. You get a better overview, you notice new details and other nuances. Does it really work? Try it yourself, I recommend it!

The deep focus that was put on sustainability, plentiful dynamic team working opportunities and open dialogue from professors really helped deepen my critical thinking. ISEG itself is right in the heart of Lisbon and although having a long history was able to provide very modern literature and ways of teaching. I can recommend the MiM course and ISEG to anyone who wants to have quality education

We were constantly faced with the newest challenges, trends, tools, and ideas. The pace and subject variety of the program prepared me to be a flexible, dynamic and curious go-getter, capable of interlinking the many sides of management. The possibility of choosing a major stream had a tremendous effect in envisioning the type of professional life I aspire to have: one that could mix both the broader aspects of management and the more precise teachings of the major. All while operating with the most sustainable practices, such as the ones we were taught and the ones I explored in my sustainability-centered Master’s Final Work. Now that I have finished ISEG’s MiM I can confidently say that enrolling was the best decision I could have made. It gave me a well-rounded understanding of management, that was further complimented with the teachings of the major, all while having the values of the SDGs to guide our choices.

Studying at EM Normandie, in the Paris campus, as part of the Double Degree program, has been an incredibly enriching and transformative experience. Immersed in an international and dynamic environment, I had the opportunity to dive deep into the Sustainable Business Strategy course, which has truly opened my eyes to the importance of rethinking business strategies through a sustainability lens. Sustainability is no longer “the future”—it is the present, here and now. Throughout the program, I witnessed how this transition is already happening in many organizations and how strategic consulting plays a vital role in guiding companies towards a more responsible and impactful path. The blend of advanced theory and practical projects allowed me to develop a strategic mindset focused on change while sharpening my skills to tackle global challenges. The Paris campus, located in the heart of one of the world’s innovation capitals, provides the perfect environment to connect with industry professionals, explore new ideas, and build lasting relationships. I highly recommend this program to anyone eager to actively shape the future of business in a sustainable way. It’s not just an academic journey—it’s a pathway to becoming a change-maker, which is more necessary now than ever.

Federico Ghessa

When the opportunity for the double degree program with EM Normandie presented itself, I knew it was too good to ignore. It not only allowed me to live in a city I dreamed of for many years but never thought I could study in, but also to explore the banking and finance industries, which I was always interested in but never had the opportunity to dive into. Now, as I am starting my second semester of this exchange year, I am happy I applied and decided to go through with it. The EMN Oxford team is incredibly helpful and welcoming, and they are happy to provide support every step of the way and answer any questions or concerns. Along with the international mobility team at ISEG, they actively work to ensure this experience goes as smoothly as it can. The courses are fascinating and thorough, and the blend between lectures, presentations, reports, and business challenges allowed me to really dive into the different topics and made for a dynamic learning experience. Although this year the workload was a little intense, the team here at EMN Oxford is working tirelessly to ensure students in the future can apply for a student visa, which would allow for a slightly longer semester and more evenly paced workflow. Any feedback from the students is taken very seriously and actively acted upon, and I am really happy with my experience here. Needless to mention, in addition to all these advantages, the ISEG – EMN double degree program is guaranteed to be an incredible career booster, and open the door for many more opportunities I hadn’t considered before.
