Review BSc in Economics.
Nova SBE has a really strong technical foundation. I loved my time at Nova the campus is one of the best in the world, the professors are really good and they care about you.
As expected
What i really liked about it so far is how different it is from the other universities in Portugal, how it´s fully taught in English and how good the professors are. What can be mostly improved is the practicality of the classes, since almost all of them are purely theoretical, and we should have more insights of the real world, as well as having a mandatory internship to prepare us better for the futur
My Experience at Olabisi Onabanjo University
The learning facilities and the practical lab were good. They helped me understand what we were being taught beyond theory. Most of the lecturers in my department were knowledgeable and willing to guide students if you made the effort to approach them.
