Note: The MBA for Managers of SMEs is aimed at all professionals with a variety of backgrounds who wish to strengthen their knowledge and skills in management, developing critical thinking, while broadening their network of contacts.

The assessment is mainly carried out through practical work applied to the business context, individually or in groups.

REMIT/ Research on Economics, Management and Information Technologies, aims to produce theoretical and applied knowledge that enables a greater understanding of economic, business, territorial and technological dynamics and trends in the contemporary world and their socio-economic effects, contributing to the design, implementation and evaluation of organizational strategies and public policies.

REMIT has experienced significant growth since its creation in 2017, evident in the number of researchers, publications and competitively funded projects.

The positive evolution of REMIT was recognized, at the end of 2019, by the FCT evaluation panel through the attribution of a GOOD rating in the last evaluation exercise. This evaluation translated into the obtaining of 512 thousand euros of funding, in the basic and programmatic components, as well as the awarding of two PhD scholarships.
