In the world we are top 30 for our Masters in Finance and Executive education in the FT Rankings.

Our programs are entirely taught in English to an increasingly international student body (75% international at the Masters level).

CATÓLICA-LISBON provides a vibrant research environment. The core research faculty consists of close to 60 tenure-track members, with doctorates from top North American (including Columbia, NYU, or Stanford) and top European (including INSEAD, LBS, City University of London, Ecole Polytechnique, and Tilburg) programs. Associate and assistant professors include nationals of Azerbaijan, Belgium, Brazil, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, and Turkey.

The CUBE research unit of CATÓLICA-LISBON has always received the highest rating for research excellence in Portugal since its creation in 1998 until 2026. It also received the highest evaluation for social science units in 2014, including business schools, as evaluated by an international panel.

Faculty in management areas have published articles in Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Management Science, Organization Science, Journal of Organizational Behavior, Human Relations, Journal of Business Ethics,  and Strategic Management Journal among others, and have been members of the Editorial Boards of prominent journals, such as the Academy of Management Journal and the Journal of Management Studies. 

Lisbon has recently been ranked the safest capital city in Europe. It is a thriving cultural hub with a vibrant restaurant scene, diverse artistic activities and sporting events, good public transportation, a public healthcare system, historic architecture, among the best weather in Europe, and easy access to world-class beaches.

Tenure-track faculty are expected to maintain a research program targeted at top-tier journals in their field (ABS 4* and 4). Católica-Lisbon provides them with ample support to do so. Salary is competitive, and funding for research-related activities, including travel to international conferences, is provided. In addition, faculty are supported to apply for research funding from the Portuguese Science Foundation (FCT) and other European funding agencies.
