Nova School of Business and Economics Speciality : Economics
programme: Economics

The experience of doing a bachelor program o at Nova SBE is hard to describe in a few lines, but the combination of challenging courses and a vast number of student clubs and initiatives to develop skills, work perfectly as a bridge between student life and the real world.

I had a very positive experience as an Economics Bachelor’s student at Nova SBE. The campus has everything you could ask for, from excellent spaces to study and focus to great places to relax and stay active, including a gym and, even better, the beach! The courses are generally well structured, and professors are approachable and bring impressive academic and professional experience. Nova also offers great opportunities to connect with the job market. That said, these opportunities tend to be more focused on management and finance than economics specifically. Still, many professors have strong connections to the industry, making it a great environment to network, learn, and explore different career paths.

My experience is being amazing! I like the organization in my home university and the campus is awesome! The only disadvantages in my point of view is that the campus is not in the city center, so if you re a party lover and want to make tons of friends maybe is not the ideal option. But there’s also good parties and that’s possible to make many friends.

The best thing about nova is the community around the student. Every person is very nice and will give you a hand and every professor is open to help with questions we have. Another thing that very good is the kinds of infrastructure that the university has. Now one thing that should be carful is that is very hard and demanding, should always be studying and carful with classes, is you stop one/two weeks you could loose the semetre very easily

I really like Nova SBE, even though I may not be 100% objective, my experience of it until now has been great. Everyone is helpful, courses are really interesting and teachers always answer your questions. International mobility is fine. The only thing I would sceptic about is the value of the diploma in the job market. But overall I would definitely recommend!

Great atmosphere, right by the beach. Rigorous but rewarding if you do the work, and the opportunities and people make up for it. I recommend joining a student club as they are one of the main contributors for having a good atmosphere.

Nova has a unique location perfect for studies with a beach to relax and plenty of spaces to work.
Student life is great with a lot of sunset parties and a great community that supports the students. It can be a bit competitive but everyone is sincerely down to earth and amazing to work with and hang out.
The international exposure and community is also incredible as you can meet anyone that has lived from all around the world. Therefore increase the cultural knowledge and expanding the horizons that we knew of.

Nova SBE offered me a perfectly organized experience from the application process up until the thesis hand-in. This really differentiates Nova: you get answers from responsible point of contacts in hours vs. days or weeks in other institutions. With that, Nova’s administration reminded me of a well managed multinational company. Studying in one of the greatest campuses (especially if you like to be close to the sea) gives you a special feeling day to day.
Having courses with experts on their fields and also from several high-positioned functionals gave me in a short time knowledge transfer insights of the status quo of my field and the tools how to develop those further in academia or private sector positions.
Even though the programme is pretty demanding (Masters in Economics) I am very thankful for the experience and the support Nova gave me with everything! I definitely recommend the school and the offered programs.

Perfect campus by the see with everything one might need (study rooms, Pingo Doce supermarket, Fnac, etc)
Interactive (and demanding) classes and professores that care about you and your progression. Lots of group projects, which help you to stay connected to the topic throughout the semester

Nova SBE is undoubtedly the best Business School in Portugal, offering the most powerful university experience. The courses are interesting, the staff is innovative, and the campus is green. Everyone here is supportive and hard working, which fosters a culture of projects and continuous and disruptive growth.
