Immediately after my graduation, I was offered the possibility of joining Delta Partners [Dubai]. I believe CATLICA-LISBONs reputation and close relationship with recruiters were crucial in creating this opportunity. However, it was the solid theoretical foundations and the soft skills developed during my academic studies in CATLICA-LISBON that have helped me thrive in a very competitive industry.

After a short visit to CATLICA-LISBON, my decision to study at this School was made. Motivated professors, university staff and an international student body throughout my studies proved my decision to be right. I even had the chance to participate at the LOral Brandstorm Marketing Challenge where I could deepen my practical skills. The third semester was especially challenging as I went to a partner university in St Petersburg, Russia where I enriched my cultural experience.
