Católica Lisbon School of Business & Economics opens registration for its summer program, the 'Strategy & Leadership' Summer Academy, which will be held July 3-14 at the CATÓLICA- LISBON campus. The program is aimed at undergraduate or recent graduate students who have less than 2 years of professional experience and are between 18 and 26 years old.

The program is also aimed at students from all over the world who want to learn the latest management concepts and trends at one of the most prestigious business schools in Europe, CATÓLICA- LISBON.

The application deadline is May 24.

How the program works: Believe me, it's much more than just classes!

The 'Strategy & Leadership' Summer Academy lasts 2 weeks, from July 3 to 14, on the campus of CATÓLICA- LISBON and at the end participants will receive a Certificate of Achievement, the 6 European ECTS credits.

During these two weeks, participants will have the opportunity to develop their strategic thinking and acquire tools and leadership skills by participating in two programs led by João Cotter Salvado, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at CATÓLICA LISBON.

Paolo Carpi, student coming to CATÓLICA- LISBON campus directly from Italy in 2022, said something inspiring: "This was the first time in my life that I met a professor who really inspired me". Moreover, adds the student, "the best activity was the opportunity to talk to CEOs and exchange ideas, because that's an experience you don't have every day."

The Strategy & Business Analysis Program teaches the fundamentals of business strategy and analysis, while the Sustainable Leadership Program aims to make participants aware of key leadership practices that can impact them in their professional lives.

In addition to the academic content, which is taught in English in the mornings - from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. - the Summer Academy also includes:

• A visit to a company
• A city tour around Lisbon
• A beach and surfing experience
• A farewell dinner at a typical Portuguese restaurant.
   

The goal is to use this opportunity to show all students a little bit of Lisbon and Portuguese culture.

Still undecided? Here are the testimonials from students who have already participated in the Summer Academy

Students from Brazil, England and Italy have told CATÓLICA-LISBON about their experiences during the last Summer Academy organized by the faculty.

For Milena Musskopf, student from Brazil, the best experience was "the opportunity to visit Portuguese companies and talk to their CEOs, as well as all the activities that were part of the program.

For Jonathon Healy, from England, the best experience was "the opportunity to meet other students" because it gave him the chance to "have a more general look at different types of culture," he affirms.

Between excellent academic content and the opportunity to experience a country that is considered the best travel destination according to the 2022 Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Awards, the Summer Academy is the ideal opportunity to spend a summer combining fun with the acquisition of knowledge and skills that make an impact.

The deadline for applications is May 24. Don't miss this opportunity!
