Nova School of Business and Economics (reviews)

Very nice campus and professors. Also there’s a great community and opportunities to grow outside classes by joining the clubs. Although I’m having a great time I feel like it could be a little more practical as we end up studying a lot and at the end I don’t really feel ready to enter the job market.

The quality of resources provided, including the campus, is one of the main highlights at Nova SBE! Campus life is often very bright and positive, and professors are competent and friendly. Definetely make sure to take advantage of the beach!

I would definetly recomend it. I would day that the best things of nova are the like minded people that want to suceed in life. Great friends I made there. Something that really stands out is the Quality of the student run clubs sometimes they make a better job than the faculty in terms of network. Great professora and practical WAY of teaching. Definetly best university in Portugal but could improve international recognition.

I spent one year in Biological Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico and I hated the course. I think it was a matter of personal taste but I just figured that I didn’t that to be my professional life. However, IST is an excellent university, by far the best in Portugal when it comes to engineering, the only thing that could be better are the teachers. Don’t get me wrong, they are all genius but I just feel like most of them don’t enjoy teaching and are just there to stay at the university doing researsh. Overall, it’s in the heart of Lisbon and you have many opportunities to have an incredible social life.
When it comes to Nova SBE, I’m in the second year of my Bachelor’s in Management and I’m really enjoying it. Again, it’s by far the best business school in the country. I think that the theoretical classes teachers sometimes could be a little more engaging and objective but the TAs are just perfect. For every subject, there are always a few TAs that just save all of us. In this case, Carcavelos isn’t very full of social gatherings but you can still find your people there’s the beach which makes everything better.

This university’s infrastructure, staff, organisation, efficiency and way of life is unlike any else. I could go on for hours over how beautiful the campus is, but most people already know that. But it is the organisational prowess that really makes Nova SBE stand out.

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.

My experience at NOVA SBE was one of the most valuable parts of my university journey. The environment is extremely international, with small classes and highly qualified professors with strong academic and professional backgrounds. The teaching is very business-oriented and practical, with challenging projects that allowed me to develop skills I can actually apply beyond university. At the same time, NOVA offers a great social life, with plenty of events and parties on campus, often with music, drinks and the beach just outside. It is definitely a demanding and challenging school, I remember many evenings studying in the library, but it manages to balance the workload with a genuinely fun and international atmosphere

The university is really good. The conditions of the campus, the classrooms, the teachers are really really good and motivate you to be better.
The learning are also very good
And besides that, the preparation done since early days to the real world is really strong

I would absolutely recommend Nova. Its a great space, great people, great programms and very well structured to prepare us for the future. The university provides real-world experiences and lots of events where we can contact with companies.
