Founded in 1980, AESE was the first School of Business and Management in Portugal. We have been dedicated to the training and improvement of business leaders, with a Humanistic perspective of Mankind and Society, for over four decades.
The transformative impact on our Alumni, spread across 5 continents, makes AESE a unique business school: a school for Leaders who want to reach higher learning, leaving their mark and transforming the world.
The recognition our school enjoys within the business world is the result of the four essential principles that guide all of AESE’s activities:
- A culture of Higher Learning, involving the Alumni community,participants, teachers, employees, companies, schools and institutions the School is in constant contact with;
- Solid knowledge that is deeply rooted in business reality, along with a Management and Leadership perspective that is laced with a critical, rigorous and holistic approach to the current issues and challenges in business and society;
- A far-reaching presence in the world, enhanced by the diversity of the School’s community, the rich content of its activities and a close proximity to international institutions such as the IESE Business School;
- Strong, ethical and humanistic values, coupled with a persistent effort to practice and share them.
Being a leader today requires the permanent pursuit of excellence on your road to personal as well as professional fulfilment. It takes the highest degree
of professionalism, focus and self- -motivation. And it takes true generosity to dedicate it all to the service of others, whether it’s your teams, your company or institution, your society or the world. If you are a demanding non-conformist who believes in bettering yourself to make sure you will have a real, wider and lasting impact, then you are an AESE Executive MBA candidate.
The close collaboration between AESE and IESE has been strengthened by the Executive MBA, with classes mostly given in Lisbon by academics, leaders and speakers from both institutions.
The Executive MBA AESE is accredited by EPAS since 2008. And since 2019 the Executive MBA AESE has been awarded the AMBA acreditation.
