MBA as an Investment

Choosing to participate in a quality MBA program requires a significant investment of both time and money. The management training, leadership development, networking and international opportunities offered by The Lisbon MBA International will prove to be invaluable assets as you progress in your career.

Fees for The Lisbon MBA International Program 2012 amount to €33,000, which is payable in four installments. This investment includes courses, required cases and other educational materials, as well as travel to and accommodation at MIT.

Our fees do not include text books and living expenses. Keep in mind that the cost of living in Lisbon is generally lower than that of other major European cities, making it much easier for students to afford a good quality of life during the program. Although on-campus accommodations are extremely limited, our Admissions Team is happy to put you in contact with local real estate agencies that will assist in your housing search in Lisbon.

The Lisbon MBA works closely with several Portuguese banks to offer students favorable conditions on educational loans.
There are several funding options to consider when financing your MBA. You can find out more about these options by clicking the menus listed above.

Corporate Sponsorship

Investing in People

A company might support their employees during their MBA as a way to recognize their potential and to contribute to their development as future managers and leaders. Companies sponsoring students might benefit from direct returns on this investment already during the program. The sponsorship can be materialized in different ways according to the company and the student goals.

Companies supporting our students can directly and immediately benefit from the learning experience of their employees.

Benefits for Companies:

It is important to develop a persuasive proposal to your company stating your request (time to attend; partial or full financial support), outline your contribution to the company and how the MBA can increase it and state specific knowledge, skills and network that your will gain and that your company will benefit.
