University Review

Excellent university, with experienced professors, professionals in the areas they teach and with an incomparable teacher-student proximity.It is a very good university for International students since thet offer Portuguese classes and some subjects are in English. In terms of infrastructure, despite being small and not having all the conditions and equipment, it brings together a pleasant environment for studying - in addition to very good cleaning conditions and modern rooms. At the administrative level, it is organized. As for the students, many are very interested in being there, excellent students and enormous dedication.

good university, with a good classification

Some teachers don’t care at all about the students, they just care about finishing their lecture program. The university as a very poor network connection through the entire campus. On the other hand, I enjoyed the program since you had one work assignment and one exam, only if you had under 7,5 you fail

Enriching international experience

My time at Nova Business School in Lisbon was truly incredible. The master's program in management offered a really complete set of courses that really helped me expand my knowledge and skills. It's completely customisable so there is a program for everyone. The faculty were really knowledgeable and supportive, which made the learning experience engaging. I particularly liked the diversity of students, which provided a global perspective and create really crazy international discussions. The school's also focus a lot on practical applications and real-world scenarios si it helped me prepare for the challenges in the business world. The campus is also incredible. I wholeheartedly recommend Nova Business School to anyone looking to advance their career in management or in any business orientations. The blend of academic rigor, international students, and practical experience makes it an ideal choice.

Great modern university approach

I am currently a 3rd year student at Forward College and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would recommend it to other students. The interactive approach of Forward where questions, debate, and discussion were encouraged enhanced my learning so much and I feel like I genuinely enjoyed every class. Having the experience of living in 3 different cultures, surrounded by people from all over the world made this experience even more special and helped me develop and grow in so many ways. Another aspect I have loved are the professors. Speaking with friends at other university I am so grateful to have teachers that actually know us, are excited to teach and interact with us, and will always take the time to help you.
