The campus is lovely, and it is refreshing being so close to the beach. The classes are also good with very interesting professors always ready to help. There is a wide variety of nationalities and other students with whom you can learn a lot. I have studied there for my bachelors and had to stay longer for my Master’s!

Nova SBE is one of the most highly ranked business schools in Europe and has been awarded the first place in Portugal. Here you can find the balance between studying and “life”. We are talking about going surfing after class, or simply working out in the gym located on campus, or participating in one of the thousands of activities organised in Lisbon or by the university. What’s more, it’s an international environment. You’ll meet people from all over the world, which will certainly enrich your experience abroad, and the quality of the professors is top class. You also have the opportunity to join clubs you are interested in, like the marketing club, innovation club or startup club. For all these reasons, I would recommend this university for your bachelor’s/master’s degree, choosing between a lot of different programmes, you can surely find the one that suits you the most.

NOVA SBE is a great university. I did my master’s degree there (MSc in Management) and would recommend it to anyone who is willing to work hard. The education standards are high, the facilities are modern, and the teaching staff counts with very experienced professionals from across the world. Moreover, the campus is located right by the beach, which makes for lovely study breaks. The reason why I do not rate my experience 5 stars is due to the fact that the coursework is overall excessively heavy, which makes having a life outside of university (i.e., volunteer, spend time with friends and family, work part-time) incredibly difficult if you want to have good grades, in turn making it more likely that students will feel stressed and burnt out.

The school is amazing and I would recommend it for sure!
The things I like the most are the landscape and the environment between students. The landscape is incredibly nice, which makes our days way better. The environment between students is super cool and we can make good friends and meet nice people.

I really like the university and the reputation of the university. It is a top-tier university with professors from various professional backgrounds. Another fact which I liked at the uni was the fact that there are people from all over the world which is good to connect with.

The way the Optional courses are chosen thru auctioning each course. New facilities that have everything that you need and more, a lot of places to eat study and even a gym. It is also the highest-rated course of management in Portugal

The first day was tough as the curriculum was different and it started to get harder and harder because my maths theory teacher was too fast and hurrying up the syllabus while she was late, and I felt like she only considered the Brazilian student to pass and motivated them rather than the whole class as they were participating more. But the maths practical professor was the best he helped us with everything.

The people are very welcoming and helpful! The university has amazing teachers and a beautiful site seeing to the beach. There are a lot of international students so you never feel alone, there is always someone to talk to

I started my Master’s in September and I really regret choosing Nova. The university lacks organization and is just looking for foreign student’s money. They canceled streams and courses during the semester. In addition, Nova changed the master thesis program, forcing students to write in a group. Good marketing but FAKE.
Nova accepted an excessive number of students. During peak times, you can not even find a place to study on campus. Overall I am really sad that I was tricked by Nova’s Marketing and the overall lack of competencies of the staff is just disappointing, I am still waiting to get the reply to an email I have sent in October…

I started my Master’s in September and I really regret choosing Nova. Firstly, the university accepted an excessive number of students to the Master’s Program in 2020, despite the current pandemic. This makes it hard, even with many people staying home, to find places to study on campus. Additionally, the business analytics courses are unorganized and understaffed, with only two assistants for 150 students, which resulted in exam results taking almost a month to be released. Many times, my e-mails with doubts went unanswered. Furthermore, Professors of these courses are extremely inexperienced in teaching, not knowing how to communicate their knowledge to students.
