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 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.

If you are a person who loves challenges as well as learning this is your university!

Nova SBE has loads of challenges, with real clients and companies, over the academic year.

The teaching is really good! You’ll have professora from different nationalities and with different experiences!

I am an international erasmus student at NOVA for the fall semester and I really like the experience. The courses are beyond my expectations, but they are also way more demanding and difficult (which I think in the end is a good thing). From all the things in Nova, my favorite part was the campus. It is just a very nice place to chill with friends when you’re not in class. I had both theoretical and practical classes, like a business seminar, international management and strategy. The international team at Nova offers support when it comes to accommodation and getting around the city, and it is very easy in general. There are a lot of offers around the city and also near campus, although the first isn’t as affordable. The university has a lot of student activities, for example, the international food fair where all the students from different countries cook food from their home countries and offer it to the other students. The life in Lisbon is good both during and day and night, with lots of special spots that you get to know during the time here. The campus is big and new, but it’s quite empty. I recommend other students to come to Lisbon to experience it and to participate in as many student activities as they can, making the best use of the campus.

At NOVA the environment is amazing. Firstly, there are people from all over the world and you can easily make new friends. From the students that are part of student organizations to classmates, everyone is always friendly and easy to talk to. Secondly, the campus at the beach is perfect at any time of the year. Studying with a view of the ocean is definitely a plus. And last but not least, this university is highly recognized all over the world, giving you higher chances to get your desired spot in the global market.

The new facilities have really brought life into the university and that is one aspect that, personally, makes me want to study more. The more time I spend here, the more I like it. It also has great recognition which is crucial for your CP
