EEG strengthens its partnership with Vilnius University through new international programmes

 
EEG and University of Vilnius
Wednesday, 05/08/2026   
The School of Economics, Management and Political Science at the University of Minho announces the signing of three new cooperation agreements with Vilnius University, in Lithuania, aimed at students on the Bachelor’s degree in International Business, the Master’s degree in Economics and the Bachelor’s degree in Economics.

These new agreements, established with a partner institution of the Arqus Alliance, represent a significant milestone in strengthening the internationalisation of EEG’s academic programmes and in consolidating academic pathways with a strong European dimension.

Through the Double Degree programme in the Bachelor’s in International Business, students now have the opportunity to spend an academic year at the Vilnius University Business School (VUBS), benefiting from an integrated and distinctive international academic experience. This programme culminates in the award of two separate degrees: one conferred by the University of Minho and the other by Vilnius University.

On the Master’s in Economics, the new Double Degree programme enables students to spend a semester at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration at Vilnius University, studying for the Master’s in Strategic Economics. This agreement strengthens the international offering of this degree programme, complementing the existing Double Degree programme with the University of Rennes, thereby providing students with two options for dual degrees. The programme culminates in the award of two separate degrees: one awarded by the University of Minho and the other by Vilnius University.

The Mobility Window agreement for the Bachelor’s degree in Economics offers a structured mobility window in the field of Data Science, enabling students to undertake a period of study at Vilnius University and enrich their academic journey with skills that are highly valued in an international context.

The EEG would like to thank the team at Vilnius University, in particular the representatives from VUBS and the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, for the commitment and dedication shown throughout this process of expanding the partnership. On behalf of the University of Minho, the EEG also acknowledges the contribution of its Vice-President and the directors of the degree programmes involved, for their collaboration in bringing these important agreements to fruition.

With these new instruments of cooperation, EEG reinforces its commitment to the internationalisation of education, the promotion of international academic experiences and the preparation of its students for increasingly global professional contexts.

EEG joins the world’s elite business schools

 
AACSB
Tuesday, 28/07/2026   
Only 6 per cent of business schools (worldwide) hold AACSB accreditation, which is awarded for excellence in teaching, research and links with business and society

The School of Economics, Management and Political Science (EEG) at the University of Minho has been awarded international accreditation by the AACSB (Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business), one of the most prestigious accreditations in the field. The School now joins the ranks of fewer than 6 per cent of management education institutions worldwide to hold this accreditation, which confirms the quality of its teaching, research and engagement with society, thereby strengthening its international standing and opportunities for academic and business collaboration.

Founded in 1916, the AACSB is the longest-standing accreditation body for management education and the world’s largest network in this field. For students and graduates, this accreditation attests that the EEG meets demanding criteria for excellence and is committed to continuous improvement. Membership of the AACSB network strengthens the School’s global profile and may facilitate new strategic partnerships, research projects and the recruitment of high-calibre students and staff.

“We celebrate this milestone with pride. It is the result of a long process of transformation involving our entire community and confirms that we meet the highest international standards of quality, rigour, ambition and impact across the various areas of our mission,” says EEG’s president, Luís Aguiar-Conraria.

For AACSB’s executive vice-president and chief accreditation officer, Stephanie M. Bryant, this accreditation distinguishes institutions committed to excellence in teaching, research, curriculum development and learning. She congratulated UMinho and all the leaders, lecturers, researchers, students, support staff and employees who contributed to this achievement.

AACSB accreditation is the result of an international peer review, which assesses whether institutions have the necessary resources, qualifications and commitment to provide top-quality education, analysing criteria such as institutional strategy, the quality of the teaching staff, teaching, research, pedagogical innovation, impact on society and continuous improvement.

Founded in 1982, the EEG is situated on the Gualtar campus (Braga) and offers three dual bachelor’s degree programmes – a first in the public education system – as well as eight bachelor’s degrees, three dual bachelor’s degrees, 15 master’s degrees and five doctoral programmes. It comprises three departments (Political Science, Economics, Management) and three research centres (CICP, NIPE, iBMS). In its engagement with the socio-economic sector, it is active in applied research, specialist consultancy and executive education, through UMinhoExec.
