Student review [#104464] for Business Analytics
at Nova School of Business and Economics

Nova SBE has an excellent community, with lots of student clubs and a vibrant nightlife (there are great discounts with Nova SU partners).
In general, the professors and teaching assistants are excellent, but there are always some exceptions. As this is a public university with a large student population, it is to be expected that academic support will be minimal. This academic support isn’t always great. You have to be independent and confident, and you should seek help if you need it.
The campus is almost perfect – it’s really amazing. There’s a wide range of food options, a gym, a library and direct access to the beach, where you’ll find amazing surf schools and places to eat açaí.
In my opinion, the only negative points are the low number of sports activities the campus offers (only five in Carcavelos; the rest, around ten, are in Lisbon) and the limited range of electives compared to other universities abroad, at least in economics. The school is more focused on business and finance than economics, but it’s almost as good in this field.

Note for future students: don’t forget to enjoy the social activities promoted by the SU, and try to meet new people at the beginning of the semester/year – all of those connections will be important in the future!
