As a first year in Nova I have to say that it really is as good as it seems.
Something I was very concern about before I got in was the Nova sbe environment, since from what I had heard it wasn’t great at all.
But after I enrolled, I understood that it was all rumors.
The environment is very welcoming and friendly and doesn’t feel competitive at all, as it’s very often portrayed. And no, there are no fake class resumes circulating.
You may be thinking that, maybe since I am a freshman, I cannot really talk about it.
However in nova they attributed older tutors to freshmen. And what I heard from mine is similar to what I’m feeling.
In terms of education, it is also amazing. The way they organized the course shows the work they put into helping you have the best possible future according to your preferences.
The only thing that I feel isn’t great is the English level of some professors.
This is very important to highlight, since sometimes it makes it hard to understand the classes.
Last but not least, the most astonishing thing about this college is obviously the campus.
The amount of light, the open spaces, the beach view, the conditions they provide us (such as a crazy amount of microwaves and water suppliers), even a Pingo Doce and Fnac, are what makes this experience at nova so light and happy.
In conclusion, come to Nova SBE you won’t regret it.

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.

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.

NOVA SBE has a new campus and the facilities are great.
The older students are really welcoming and helpful!
It has a gym, a grocery strore and it’s near the Carcavelos beach. It’s simply the best place to study and to have a good time too.

Since day one Nova SBE incentives students not only to study but also to start a journey of self discovery. Finding your purpose, discover what makes you happy, get involved with the community, make friends, and definitely study and work hard are some of the things you can expect if you join NOVA’s community.
With an amazing career and Placement team, always available to help you and always preparing amazing events, finding the right job is an easier task!
The facilities of the university are absolutely amazing, close to the beach in a really cosy neighborhood.
