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.
