Student review [#104482] for Finance
at Nova School of Business and Economics

The MSc in Finance, and even the business school as a whole, is very international, being mainly dominated by Portuguese, German, Italian and Norwegian nationals. Thus, in this sense, it is superb to grow your future network around the world.
I would recognise that students tend to be quite ambitious and even so more with the recent positive rises in some rankings. The school is gaining ground amongst the semi-target European schools and already solidified target status in Portugal and Germany. This trend does not seem to stop anytime soon.
The campus itself and its location is highly praised. I find it quite small for the sheer amount of current students and the whole space could have been utilised better. Nevertheless, it is modern with good facilities.
Personally, I found the classes and teaching methods quite challenging and difficult to keep up, which seems to differ from other students’ experiences, which do complain about the workload and can easily manage and achieve good grades. I found it way harder than I expected and had impostor syndrome. Overall, most would labelled it as high-workload, but not hard.
