It is with immense pleasure that I share my experiences of participating in the first edition of the Double MBA program - a collaborative venture between Kozminski University (KU) and Porto Business School (PBS). This unique journey has been nothing short of enlightening, enriching, and empowering.
One of the most profound aspects of this program was the opportunity to interact and collaborate with an incredibly diverse cohort. The fusion of different cultures, perspectives, and experiences created an environment that fostered mutual learning and respect. It was a real-world embodiment of the global business landscape, where diversity is the catalyst for innovation and growth.
The additional courses at PBS were invaluable. They provided a comprehensive understanding of the complexities and nuances of modern business operations. These courses were not just about theories and concepts, but about their practical application in real-world scenarios.
Preparing the joint MBA final project was an exercise in collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving. It was a test of our ability to apply what we had learned in a complex, real-world context. The experience was intense, challenging, but ultimately rewarding.
In conclusion, the Double MBA program with KU and PBS was not just an educational experience, but a life-changing journey. It was an opportunity to learn from the best, to challenge our thinking, and to become better leaders. It was a journey that I am proud to have been a part of, and one that I will cherish forever.

The MBA at Kozminski University was a very pleasant surprise! My team's final project was a great challenge that required a spirit of enormous sacrifice but resulted in a start-up ready to enter the market.  The teaching methodology is different from that used in Portugal and allows a more practical view of professional life. The school has great facilities and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The city of Warsaw is a must-see both for its historical and cultural significance, having a very lively night for any student to unwind their stress.
In short, the experience was fantastic, but what remains most of all is the fantastic network of contacts that allows us to increase our possibility of doing business internationally. 
The international week in Berlin has a very practical aspect with visits to several companies, allowing you to have an overview of the way in which people work in Germany.
And finally, the graduation ceremony is filled with an intense academic traditionalism that is unforgettable. 
I will conclude by saying that the slogan of the PBS slogan also applies in Kozminski: Let change happen!

Attending the Executive MBA double diploma at Kozminski University and Porto Business School has been one of the greatest career decisions I have ever made. Obtaining two prestigious diplomas simultaneously provides a great advantage in the job market and a true international perspective on business and leadership.

Among the highlights of the program is the opportunity to study in Porto Business School's stunning campus, enjoying Portugal's rich culture while building professional networks in a global environment.

The classes are taught by top professors, who taught us invaluable lessons about valuing innovative companies. Learning from these accomplished teachers gives us an excellent mixture of intense scholarly work and real-world application, which equips us to handle tough business problems. This experience is not without its challenges. It requires strength, self-discipline, and effective time management to balance travel, schoolwork, and work responsibilities. The program makes you leave your comfort zone—but that is what makes it worth it.

If you'd like to broaden your global mindset, develop your leadership, and gain two great diplomas, this program is a perfect option. It's an investment in education, professional development, and a borderless future.

Pursuing the Double MBA at Kozminski University and Porto Business School has been impactful for my professional growth.

The program’s unique blend of in-person experiences in Poland and Portugal, alongside dynamic online sessions, provided me with a deeper understanding of international business.
Courses covering innovative companies, advanced strategy or private equity, delivered by world-class professors, have equipped me with a global mindset essential for today’s dynamic business environment.

A crucial aspect was the collaborative final project, where a mixed team from both universities tackled the internationalization of a Portuguese company into the Polish market. This cross-cultural experience provided innovative strategies that emerged from our diverse perspectives.
I highly recommend this program to any professional seeking to broaden their leadership capabilities and embrace a truly international approach to business challenges.
