A truly global Executive Masters cohort

Moreover, 85 international students chose Porto Business School to advance their leadership journey. This diversity strengthens classroom discussions and expands peer learning beyond borders.
Therefore, participants benefit from multiple perspectives shaped by different markets, industries, and cultural contexts.
Experience-driven learning at the executive level
The profile of this cohort highlights a strong balance between experience and ambition. The average age is 35, and participants bring an average of 10 years of professional experience.
Thus, learning remains deeply connected to real-world challenges. Executives actively apply concepts to their organizations, teams, and strategic decisions.
In addition, the classroom becomes a space for sharing best practices, testing ideas, and learning from peers facing similar leadership challenges.
Gender balance and inclusive leadership
This intake includes 43% women and 57% men. Gender diversity remains a strategic priority within the Executive Masters experience.
