Frequently Asked Questions

All Aboard is your first week at Católica Porto Business School and is mandatory. However, we need you to register so we can get to know you better!

To participate, you need to register, but we're already counting on you!

Yes, whether you're a daytime or post-work regime student, you can sign up for the All Aboard programme at the time that suits you best.

Yes, you can. Students are required to attend a given masters for at least one semester before they can apply for transfer to a different programme. For that you need to submit a written request to the School’s Management Board asking to be transferred to another programme. The latter will come into effect if the request is approved.
It is for the School’s Management Board to decide whether or not this request is approved after hearing the coordinators of the programmes involved.

Every year, the Católica Porto Business School asks teachers and organisations to suggest a set of topics for the Master’s Final Assignment (MFA). The latter are then allocated to students through a competition. Before the competition takes place, students have access to the topics approved by the coordinators of each master’s programme on campus online. Students wishing to register for the MFA but who do not enter the competition must choose from the list of topics available after the competition (remaining topics). The Master’s Final Assignment begins in the semester following the allocation of the topics. Students are required to comply with the conditions laid down in Article 25 of the Master’s Programmes General Regulations.

In the case of topics suggested by organisations, students are welcome to get in touch with Career and Development Office to clarify their doubts (careers.cpbs@ucp.pt). All doubts regarding the topics suggested by lecturers must be clarified with them.

The Católica Porto Business School offers a number of international mobility schemes (ERASMUS +

Students may also complete their Master’s final assignment (MFA) in an international organisation or
firm when carrying out an internship that includes the completion of an MFA in a business

The value of the Scholarship consists of a 20% discount on the MFA fee, for students who carry out an international internship that includes the completion of an MFA in a business environment.
This Scholarship can be complemented by the Erasmus+ scholarship for international internships.
