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

Amazing experience

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.

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.
