Nova School of Business and Economics
speciality: Business Analytics

Really hands-on experience, with tons of international students. Great student vibe and lots of out-of-class actions. Professors have good practical experience and help outside of class hours. I can recommend!

Nova SBE really surprised me in the best way. The professors are not just knowledgeable, they care. They challenge you, guide you, and treat you like someone capable of solving real problems. The infrastructure is top notch, modern, and actually makes you want to spend time on campus.

I also liked how hands-on the classes were. They throw you into the fire from day one. It’s intense, but it pushes you to grow and think critically under pressure.

Another thing I loved is the location. The school is literally a few minutes from the beach, and the whole vibe in Carcavelos is super laid back and chill. It’s a great place to study if you like a balance between focus and peace.

That said, making friends as an international student can be tough. The student body isn’t as diverse as it might seem on paper. A large part of the students are German, Portuguese, or Italian, so it takes a bit more effort to build connections if you’re from somewhere else.

Still, if you’re looking for a challenging and career-focused school where you’ll be pushed to grow, I’d definitely recommend it.

It has a great environment, good lectures that for normal skill level and advanced. Very new infrastructure as well, only criticism is that the transport to get there is poor. Otherwise would recommend.
