Tiago Silva | Bachelor's Degree in Management

Tiago Silva

Bachelor in Management

“If I had to describe my degree in one word, it would be exciting. It was demanding, but also enriching. I developed a wide range of skills and abilities alongside my classmates and professors. But above all, it was a lot of fun.

I would say that the main skills I developed at a professional level were financial analysis and strategic planning. Also, leadership, particularly how to deal with people and understand and guide their motivations.

On a personal level, resilience, of course. As a working student, I had to balance the demands of both work and studies, which also helped me develop my time management skills.

What led me to choose this degree was a dream. I have been a martial arts instructor since I was very young, and my goal has always been to establish a network of schools. I therefore realised that I needed to become a better leader. Not only to understand how to deal with people and guide their motivations, but also to understand how businesses should be managed and how to make decisions beyond what is immediately visible.

I have nothing but praise for all the professors, from those I had in Lisbon to those in Porto. They were always extremely competent and, above all, friendly and supportive. I would also like to express my appreciation to all the staff members who enrich everyday life here at Lusófona University.

If I could offer one piece of advice to future Management students at Lusófona University - Porto University Centre, it would be to keep an open mind and be proactive. This degree provides you with a wide range of tools, but everything depends on your commitment and involvement. So, ask questions, participate, apply what you learn outside the classroom and, above all, make the most of your academic journey and explore as many opportunities as possible.”
