“I applied to the double degree program to challenge
myself and to gain personal as well as professional
development – exactly what I got. I was one of the first
students to attend the double degree program at Católica Lisbon,
a highly ranked business school in Europe and considered the
best in Portugal. The university has a very practical approach to
teaching, and group work has an important role in all courses.
However, it is not all work and no fun. As the university has
almost 50% international students at the master’s level, I
socialized with people from all over the world and gained many
new friends.
Moreover, other important ways to experience Portugal includes
the beautiful beaches, the amazing surfing opportunities,
the energetic night life and the great opportunities to
travel. So I ask you, what could be more exciting than going a
whole year abroad and experiencing life from a new perspective,
breaking personal boundaries and creating unforgettable
memories? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5BEdbxhoe8
Seize this opportunity and apply for the double degree – double
the action, double the fun – I promise that it is a decision you
will never regret!”
