Nova School of Business & Economics (reviews)

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.

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.

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.

Loved my experience
Nova is for sure one of the best unis in the world. I was so happy there. The weather in Portugal is so good. Nova combines academics, employability and more importantly is cheap. You pay for your master 13 000 and if you go to an IE which is not nearly as good you pay 4 times more. Go to Nova that’s my advice

Undoubtedly one of the best Portuguese universities. Most of my master’s students are international as are the professors. The campus is beautiful and it’s right on the seafront. Undoubtedly an excellent price-quality ratio.

Really hands-on experience, with tons of international students. Great student vibe and lots of out-of-class actions. Professors have good practical experience and help outside of class hours. I can recommend!

Nova’s MSc in Finance is the best program in Portugal. The quality of the professors is notable, they are very approachable. Career opportunities are broad and limitless.

The school’s campus is super modern, with many spots to study and to chill. It is located right next to the beach, which allows you to go for nice walks, surf sessions, and so on, to keep your work-life balance.

Your peers will be highly motivated and highly skilled individuals, which creates the perfect environment for a great learning experience.

Having that said, Nova is by far one of the best choices you can make.

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
